 Proof is the restaurant in 21C Museum Hotel. Located on historic Main Street, which is lined with nineteenth-century cast iron-fronted buildings, the museum is dedicated exclusively to art of this century. Chef Michael Paley’s contemporary menu is also rooted in the past with its use of traditional Southern and Italian ingredients in the creation of fresh new dishes. Appetizers such as chickpea and country ham fritters with Traviso olives and whole-grain mustard, or the butternut squash soup with whipped liver pâté and pistachio polenta exemplify Paley’s technique. Among the entrées, seek out the duck with creamed corn and grilled hanger steak served with charred eggplant and ricotta salad. Even the sharable sides fuse culinary traditions in the braised farm greens with garlic and grits with Parmigiano. In keeping with this Italian theme, the house-made gelati and sorbeti tasting would be a grand finale. The dining room, like the rest of the hotel, is a showcase for modern art, some of it quite edgy. The adjacent bar, open to the wee hours, has an extensive selection of fine bourbons, creative cocktails, and a short but first-rate snack menu (minted pea toast with watercress and bacon, bison burger, charcuterie and cheeses).
