I was ready for our monthly friends' brunch, so I headed out to visit a friend in Riverside. We went to a great spot called ProAbition (yes, with a capital A!) and made reservations--which I highly recommend, especially for brunch.
We went on an 80s-themed brunch day, with non-stop 80s hits playing from open until 3 PM. Yes, I'm old school and yes, I love the 80s--please don't judge me!
From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and attentive. We were seated promptly and felt well taken care of. The indoor dining area is spacious, with tables that can accommodate up to 15 guests. There's also a generous patio area, and the bar is impressively long--seating about 20 people. They also host private events.
Sidenote for the ladies: the bar has purse hooks, which is such a thoughtful touch! And if you can't find one or need help with it, the staff is more than happy to assist.
Now onto the drinks and food! Their signature cocktails are fantastic. I had the Lavender Lemon Drop--perfectly balanced, not too sweet, with just the right hint of lavender. My friend ordered the Monster -a hearty breakfast plate with excellent potatoes. You can add additional eggs if you'd like. I went for the Brussels sprouts, expecting a small appetizer portion, but they came out in a massive bowl--definitely shareable or enough to fill you up on their own.
The space also offers lots of great photo ops, including a fun Instagram mirror. One small downside: the restroom area is tiny--only two stalls--so expect a line. Also, be aware that parking nearby can be pricey and limited. Some lots charge up to $30, so plan accordingly and wear comfy shoes for a little walk.
Overall, the music was amazing, the vibe was fun, and I highly recommend checking it out!
