I rarely give 5 stars because you can always do better but my first experience at Proximo was amazing. I'd heard good things and when friends told me to pick a brunch location for my birthday - I decided to give them a try. I loved my lemon and blueberry pancakes with the sweet and pepper bacon. So good. The French toast and shrimp & grits got thumbs up from friends. I was gifted a free dessert for my birthday and chose the chocolate mousse with berries - wow, amazing. Our server was wonderful. Thank you for a fantastic birthday brunch. I will be back! read more

The breakfast came out hot and fresh. The gravy and eggs had a good flavor on the skillet. The bacon was a bit chewier than I would have liked. The banana bread was good and we enjoyed the sauce. The server was quick to take our order but not really quick to come back and check on us. We were done eating before he had come back out. It was pretty dead in the restaurant. There was only 3 tables total. The music and decor were enjoyable . read more

I can't believe we've never been to Próximo and we've lived in FW for 3+ years now... Such a good Latin fusion restaurant in downtown... The ole house boss (self-titled, of course) took me for my birthday, and it was awesome. Upscale feel and design, excellent service (our server Aaron was great), and unbelievable food. Dinner is pricey, so be aware, but it's an outstanding restaurant... Definitely gonna come back and try their brunch because apparently that's what they're known for. read more

So this is my first return to Proximo for many years, and man, I can't believe I waited so long to come back! Wanted to do something special for my dad's birthday, so we booked a brunch at Proximo! When we got there, immediately I felt like my family and I were at ease. Everyone was lovely and got us seated! The interior is bright, and there is indoor and outdoor seating if it is nice enough outside. We decided to take from the brunch menu--everything was good! My mom got the dulce de leche French toast with berries, which was sweet but very nice if you're in the mood for some great French toast. My dad got the breakfast tacos with chorizo--while the meat wasn't super spicy, it did make my dad drink a lot of water! I got the chilaquilles with carnitas which were good--but I felt like there could have been more sauce soaked into the chips or added to the dish before serving. While it had a large portion of meat, only one egg and not a ton of sauce made the dish get a little dry as I was eating it (and used some of my dad's breakfast taco salsa to help with the liquid for the dish). Overall, dishes were enjoyed, so I'd love to return to try more off the menu. I will say there was one crowing jewel of our time at Proximo--the dessert! We got a Torta de mil hojas, and it was a towering delicious cream puff-esque concoction. We all said we didn't have much room left in our bellies... But somehow this entire tower was eaten. I wouldn't miss it if you can get to Proximo! Oke thing to note about Proximo--parking is all on the surrounding streets. Not terribly hard to find, but be ready to walk a bit from your car on case you go downtown during busy times! Thanks for a great return, Proximo! Hoping to get back again soon! read more

Dang. I didn't think I liked Mexican breakfast foods. But maybe I like Mexican-ish breakfast foods? Because the carnitas eggs Benedict that I ate at Proximo was part Mexican, part southern American, and all delicious. The restaurant's take on a Benedict was made with braised pork on top of arugula and cornbread instead of the classic English muffin. On top of all that is two poached eggs, hollandaise sauce and cilantro. It was a gut bomb! Especially for me, because I'm not normally used to eating a big breakfast. Proximo offers a menu inspired by Mexican, Spanish and Cuban flavors. So you'll find things like shrimp and grits with Spanish chorizo, chilaquiles, a green chile Caesar salad ... but also things like lemon blueberry pancakes and biscuits & gravy. The black coffee was dynamite, and my server made sure that my cup never runneth empty. Speaking of my server, he was super attentive and yet not overly so. One niggling thing. This is the kind of place where the servers say "we" instead of "you," which awakens the cranky old man in me. "Have we ever dined with us before?" These words were literally said out loud. This cursed sentence was messing with my head the entire time I was there. I couldn't stop thinking about it. In what world would you ever say something as diabolical as that? Only at a restaurant such as this! Parking is all street parking, which is free on the weekends. read more

Fantastic, creative menu. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. This is a place to go if you want something that's really different from any place else that you'd visit here in town.

Food was excellent. Great dinner choices with excellent well-timed service. Comfortable atmosphere!

We came from Chicago for an event and stopped in here for dinner, and let me me just say, I'm shocked it wasn't more busy. The food and service were absolutely amazing and if you are visiting Fort Wayne, you must come here! read more

A great ambience and plenty of seating! We were able to get a reservation for our party of 6. Their scratch kitchen elevates the experience of Latin cuisine. I'm usually wary of ordering chicken breast but the Cuban chicken was cooked to perfection and the flavors all paired so nicely. read more

I stopped in for breakfast as an out of town visitor after this restaurant was recommended by a local. I am so grateful for the recommendation. My server was fantastic and gave me an overview of the restaurant upon finding out it was my first time tuhere, attended to all my needs, and even dated my leftover box and offered me a coffee to go. There were so many excelleInt choices on the menu. I decided on the chilaquiles with chorizo and banana bread along you with coffee and sparkling water. It was fun to splurge, and I had enough left over for another meal. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Breakfast food was perfectly prepared. Latin inspired dishes.

Food was amazing. Service was amazing. Alex, I love you! Alex is the best bartender and Thane is the best manager of any establishment ever.

We had a great time having brunch at Proximo! Our server was awesome and very attentive. We decided to split the garbage skillet, and instead of making us split it, they brought out two smaller skillets, which was very nice. They even boxed up our food for us when we finished! We'll definitely try to come back next time we're in Fort Wayne! read more

Such A Flavorful Experience at Proximo. Visited Proximo on 5/4/24 with my husband and friends after a wedding. The open kitchen ambiance was delightful, offering a glimpse into the culinary magic. We savored a shared tortilla soup and Peruvian Saltado, and it was worth the wait. From guava margaritas to breakfast tacos, every dish delighted. Kudos to our attentive waiter, Joseph, for enhancing our experience. An unforgettable culinary journey! read more

I had to try it for myself. We were greeted with a smile. The host and waitress were very knowledgeable about celiac and cross contamination. They explained that there is a dedicated fryer. The food was wonderful. Service was unmatched. I will be returning here when I'm in town. read more

The pasta was slightly over cooked for my liking. Cilantro pesto could use more cilantro flavor and it could be more saucy. The brussel sprout had good flavor but was too sweet for my liking - it was drowning in maple sauce so I had to pour it out a bit. I got take out but the staffs were super friendly. The inside of restaurant was super nice. I might want to dine in one of these days. I'll prolly go for shrimp and grits next time. read more

Came here randomly on a Sunday night before a show at the nearby theater. Although we came here at 5 o'clock and it was empty, we were not allowed to have a regular table unless we had a reservation. It was unfortunate that although this place has outdoor space that they did not have heaters and we're not utilizing the outdoor table. Space. Instead, we were invited to sit at the bar, which actually turned out to be quite fine for our party. At the bar you can still order from the dinner menu. So we ordered a few appetizers and sides and entrées to share amongst us. The portions were very fair and easily shareable among the three of us. In fact, we even had some leftovers. We were also pleasantly surprised to find out that wine bottles were 20% off that night so we ordered a bottle . Nathan, the bartender was super friendly very patient did not rush us and helpful when it came to recommendations as well. I would definitely come back here again when I'm in town. This is definitely a great ambience. Very clean and modern. Great location to the hotel and the theater. Well priced for what they're offering and the portions. read more

While in the area for work, I asked a friend for suggestions in Fort Wayne for lunch and she suggested Proximo... and I am so glad she did! I loved the open kitchen and big windows. The food was excellent and I enjoyed my drink as well. Our service was spotty, having to wait longer than usual compared to how many tables we could see occupied. Definitely will be recommending this place to others, and hope to come again the next time I'm in town! read more

We have always loved Proximo's amazing and spicy (we request extra spicy!) Shrimp and Grits and their milk punch is one of my favorite cocktails. You just can't go wrong with their Latin specialties. But you may not know that Proximo is a wonderful breakfast spot! The Traditional Breakfast -- 3 eggs, tasty and crispy patatas bravas, a meat side (I love the sweet peppered bacon), and toast (I was able to substitute a fluffy and delicious pancake). We sat outside on Wayne Street and enjoyed the sights and sounds of the city and had friendly and very quick service! I can't wait to go back! read more

We are so glad we came here for dinner our first (and last) of four nights in Fort Wayne. Our first night we shared the shrimp sope as an appetizer. Generous amount of shrimp with veggies on a bed of cornbread (tortilla). Delicious. We each had a frisee salad, and my duck on mole sauce was terrific and the portion was huge with two legs and thighs. Service from Aaron was spot on... attentive and responsive, yet not intrusive. We enjoyed the food and service so much, and the menu was very enticing, we inquired of Chef Kevin if he was willing to make a meatless paella for a return visit. He enthusiastically said YES. So, four nights later we returned for another excellent dining experience. The seafood paella for my wife was excellent, loaded with shrimp, scallops, mussels and clams, topped by a lobster tail. My specialty seafood pasta with mussels and clams prepared in a romesco sauce was similarly delicious and devoured eagerly. Wines enjoyed were a generous 10 oz pour. Sunday night all wines by the bottle are 20% off. A stellar two dining experiences! read more

Great food and environment as well. Servers were nice, they didn't rush me at all or take too long.

Very impressed with the response to my original review. They more than made it up to me and delivered much better experience. We sat outside this time which was a nice environment downtown FW. The tuna tiradito was very good, elote was not very flavorful. I was very skeptical with the cilantro chicken pesto but I was pleasantly surprised as it ended up being quite delicious. The puff pastry at the end was light, fluffy and a good ending. Our server was attentive and accommodating. read more

Próximo is still an outstanding dinning experience. Making a reservation on Open Table is very easy. Parking can be a challenge. However there are several pay options near the restaurant if you can't find a street spot. The host and waitress were very friendly and professional. You felt like you were valued and welcomed. The restaurant is still attractive, in good working order, clean and very attractively decorated. The Teo person tables might be a bit small. However the chairs and booth seating are very comfortable. My wife had the chicken pesto entree. The chicken breast was large, most and very tasty. She enjoyed the pesto as it was not strong and over powering. The angel hair pasta was cooked perfectly. I gad the lamb shank. This was cooked to perfection. The meat had a small amount of seasoning and was extraordinarily moist. The meat could easily be cut with a fork and had a solid meat flavor. The fresh radish and carrots priva nice fresh crisp crunch texture. The rice was cooked perfectly- not too soft but no crunchy grains. The pickled onions and peppers provided a nice zest. This dish was also very large. Overall the entree portion sizes are very large. I'm not sure how I would have managed one of the attractive designer/creative appetizers, soups or salads. Proximo can be a bit pricey so be prepared for that if that could be an issue for you. read more

I didn't want to have to do this, because I really like the food here. But this is the second time in a row I came here and had bad service. The first time, I sat on the patio and after asking the waitress for a few minutes to look at the menu, she just disappeared for 15 minutes and never came back. I left and went to Marquee instead (best service in The Landing, btw). Today, I told myself I was going to give Proximo another chance. I sat at the bar and ordered my food immediately. 25 minutes go by before the bartender tells me there was a mishap in the kitchen. This was my work lunch hour, so by that point, I didn't have time to wait any longer. They did give me a $25 gift card, which was a nice gesture, but I'm likely going to re-gift it to someone else. What's the point in coming back for another bad experience? To the Proximo mgmt team, I have to ask - what are you guys doing? You occupy a prime restaurant location, with all the makings of a great dining experience, but you seem to drop the ball every time. I hope you can find a way to redeem yourselves - your food deserves better service. read more

Our past two brunch experiences didn't make it past the host desk. We made reservations, showed up on time, checked in and were told it would be a few minutes. People showed up after us and were seated immediately. We continued to wait, while 5 staff continued to debate, a manager got involved with no update. When we have actually eaten there, food has been good. But for the way we were treated and how the staff spoke to each other the past two attempts, we will not be returning. read more

I've been here twice in the past six months for breakfast! They definitely have a Latin influenced menu. Both times the service has been excellent. The hostess is amazing and so friendly. We had the mimosa flight (which is no longer available) and it was so fun to try different flavors. The chilaquiles and chiles rellenos are delicious. Be prepared to ask for it mild if you don't like heat. My guest on visit one had the shrimp and grits, but the spiciness was too over powering for her to finish. My guest on visit two had the blueberry lemon pancakes. I wish I had a picture! They were huge! She told me they were just as delicious on day two. Overall, I would recommend Próximo for a unique breakfast experience, but be prepared for some HEAT! read more

When it's been weeks since you've dine at a place and still drool over what you had, I'd say that's a great sign. Beautiful interior and I was surprised at how kid friendly they were as it definitely appeared to be more upscale. My usually well behaved toddler decided that day at brunch to be loud and fussy; however, the staff remained very kind and attentive. They had a kids menu and really neat doodle pad that on a good day would have kept my toddler happy. OMG i was so happy with the carnitas benedict i ate. Every bite was so flavorful and being served on cornbread instead of English muffin *chef's kiss*. The kid's side order of bacon and cornbread was also generous in my opinion and my kiddo scarfed it down. My friends were also pleased with their orders. Overall I would run here in a heartbeat next time I'm in town to dine... but maybe I'll leave my toddler at home lol! read more

Proximo in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana, has offerings for breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, dessert! The ambiance is hip and friendly and it's corner location brings tons of terrific natural lighting from the outside in! As we dined I enjoyed great people watching as pedestrians passed by. Really cool location! We ate at Proximo during the winter months and will come back to enjoy their roomy al fresco patio dining in the warmer months. My Garbage Skillet was delicious!! I also had a scratch made biscuit with fresh honey and it was yummy! You'll see the Garbage Skillet pictured without the eggs because I'm not an egg eater. We all enjoyed our brunch and also had drinks at the bar one night earlier as we were staying in a nearby hotel. Service was very attentive both in restaurant and bar, friendly and personable staff.
