Located in the heart of downtown Louisville on the ground floor of the 21c Museum Hotel, Proof on Main has captured the hearts, minds and palates of diners throughout the city. Inside the blend is modern and chic, but upon first glance it looks like an ersatz safari scene, with large sculpted faux animals such as tigers and zebras on the walls. The white tablecloths and elegant, light wooden fixtures and chairs only add to the eclectic mix. The food is just as varied, and though most would classify it as New American, the kitchen tries to transcend any compartmentalization or label. And with dishes such as diver scallops on rice grits or traditional Italian campanelle made with local lamb, it's easy to understand why.

A restaurant with a view is always a double treat, as one can delight their taste buds as well as enjoy the panorama. The River House Restaurant and Raw Bar is just the place that suits this definition. Guests can savor seafood like never before with dishes like fish & chips, Crispy Fried Avocado, Sauteed Gulf Shrimp and Crispy Grouper Cheel Po'Boy being a few popular mentions. The main highlight of the restaurant is the Raw Bar that consists of Chilled Jumbo Shrimp, Colossal Lump Crab, and River Tower which are a must a try for raw food lovers. Complement your meal with a glass of wine from their large collection of red, white and other imported selections. A meal is not complete without a dessert, so make your pick from either a Chocolate-Peanut Butter Lava Cake or a Pecan Praline Cake.
