I loved the omakase menu. My wife and I are vegetarian and the chef accomadated us well. Each of the dishes were well crafted and enjoyable. The pacing of dishes was well-spaced and not too drawn out like some omakase experiences can be. This place has a relatively relaxed atmosphere compared to other fine dining I've been too, which was pleasantly surprising. My wife and I received two lasagna dishes, one after the other. We finished the first and looked forward to the next dish only to find more lasagna - I expect that we would have eaten slightly different had we known multiple rounds of the same dish would be served.

Some parking across the street. Very attentive service. Vegetarian friendly options. Opted in for the multi-course chef's choice option. Delicious food. Such interesting flavors and ingredients. Went in a group of 4, with 2 vegetarians--my only complaint is that we got lasagna twice, which was disappointing.

We went here a few weeks ago and had an absolutely spectacular meal. Everything was perfection. Our server was kind and communicative. All suggestions led to delicious options. We were even serenaded by a live band that was performing for a wedding at the Thunderbird Lounge. It never feels like a mistake to go to Restaurant Progress. Always happy to go back.

Stopped in for drinks and a quick bite during the Melrose street fair! We lucked out as this spot is not usually open during lunch hours. We sat at the bar and were welcome right away by the bartender. This spot has such a warm and intimate atmosphere. Would love to come back for dinner service.

Stopped in for an appetizer and a some cocktails during the Melrose street fair. We sat at the bar and were greeted and helped promptly. The cocktails were fabulous! They had a perfect amount of fresh citrus. The carrot tostada was a good appetizer to share we really loved the combination of the tender carrots and feta. Would love to come back for a full meal I could see this place being a wonderful date spot!

Ate here about a week ago for my friend's birthday dinner. We had a table of 8 and were well accommodated by Dan and Chais! I personally got the NA beer, hiramasa crudo, fall salad and fresh pasta. My friend got the chocolate mousse for dessert! What a culinary experience this place was:) We've all been about a year ago and I love how they change the menu Fantastic service and energy. The little side room was perfect for our dinner and I love the lighting in there as well!

My wife and I went here for our first wedding anniversary two years ago and were blown away--we came back two weeks ago for my 30th birthday, and were blown away again! Every dish they prepare has some of the most decadent flavors I've ever had. Each has its own unique background flavor and punch that I simply haven't been able to replicate at other restaurants. I had a part of 10 for my birthday, so I was a bit nervous about whether or not my guests would enjoy, but everyone at my table was just as impressed as I was! Party was a hit. Dan, thank you for making that day so special for me and my group. I can't wait to come back soon!!

The food was overall delicious! We shared the warm Brie and radicchio salads and they were delightful. My husband enjoyed the branzino but found the skin overly salty. My friend enjoyed the octopus and I enjoyed the fresh pasta (ricotta filled in a lemon butter sauce). A big thank you to Taylor for such great service. However the pricing felt excessive for the portions on our plates. $31 for 7 small pieces of pasta is a bit steep. We love the cozy, intimate atmosphere of this restaurant but the high prices make it had to justify the value if what you get. We were there to celebrate a birthday and our friend got his carrot cake with a candle and we ordered one too. It was very tasty.

Everything from the food to service was so perfect! This restaurant had so many local ingredients and flavorful menu items. I highly recommend doing their "Chef's Choice" 5 course menu. I did this with my husband and the 5 courses were different for each of us! I loved this because you got to try different menu items. Their chicken is so tender and juicy and it will be the best chicken you'll ever have. I loved the daily stuffed pasta too because the sweet potato with the homemade pasta made it for that home cooked feeling providing that fall flavor profile that warms your insides. Chais was such an amazing waitress and so friendly! Loved how she provided her recommendations and was so welcoming and kind. It is casual on the inside yet felt upscale without the stuffiness Highly recommend for a nice dinner, date, or special occasion

The tasting course here offers some of the richest flavors you can find for a fair price. You get a lot of bang for your buck at $75. Our tasting menu as of early October 2024 offered some really rich fruits and greens. The Caesar salad in particular was one of the best things we ate all night and packed so much flavor. The later courses were also phenomenal! We loved the Japanese-style prepared steak and the octopus right after. Both came out at the same time so we were able to try both sea and land flavors together. The staff here is very inviting and nice. Our waitress was very kind and super enjoyable to talk to! You need essentially walk through the kitchen to get to the bathroom and the staff makes sure you don't have to say "ope" or "excuse me." Walking past the kitchen is very interesting as you can see your next course getting made from scratch or something you've already tried getting made for another table. I can't recommend this restaurant enough! Pop next door to the Thunderbird Lounge afterwards.
