- Proving Ground
WE TOOK A LITTLE HISTORY FROM THE AREA WHEN NAMING AND DESIGNING THE RESTAURANT AFTER THE SANDY HOOK PROVING GROUNDS. ESTABLISHED IN 1874, IT BECAME THE FIRST US ARMY PROVING GROUND TO TEST ARTILLERY AND OTHER MATERIALS. AND THAT’S WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT – TESTING NEW MENU ITEMS AND SPECIALIZING IN THE NEWEST CRAFT BEER AND COCKTAILS. WE LIKE TO MIX IT UP WITH OUR EVENTS, MUSIC, AND EXPERIENCE TO ALWAYS KEEP THINGS FRESH AND FUN.
**PLEASE NOTE: On Fridays & Saturdays, Proving Ground is offering the Restaurant Week Menu until 6pm ONLY To receive the Restaurant Week menu on Friday and Saturday nights, your complete party must be seated NO LATER THAN 6:00 pm. We strongly recommend a reservation of 5:45 pm or earlier to ensure that you are able to enjoy the Restaurant Week menu. We apologize but there are no exceptions to this policy.** RESERVATIONS ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED and please note Restaurant Week in your reservation.
