Review of The Proving Ground

Have been to the new proving grounds several times...

Have been to the new proving grounds several times the summer. The renovations are top notch. Location is perfect. They almost always have live music. Food was good I wouldn't say great. They seem to be in a dispute with their next door neighbor which makes going there very difficult because you can't walk between bars if you dock your boat there. Arrived by boat at 10:45. Outdoor manager walked out to the dock with a bouncer and nicely but firmly told us we could have a beer but then had to leave because last call was over. They made it very clear we work welcome there. Not sure why a bar/restaurant would close at 10:30 on a Thursday night. This restaurant has basically changed most things that made Windansea a destination, some for better, most for worse. It used to be a relaxed summer destination that I frequented with my family and friends often. Lately I find myself going elsewhere.
