    Amazing food! Wonderful service. The restaurant was very cold, however. I suggest requesting a table at the back of the restaurant.

    I love the open flame concept and the food offerings were good. And that's the issue. Good priced Great. This restaurant is typical of what is now the Asheville food scene - overpriced and underwhelming. The service was slow but adequate keeping in mind what this city just went through and evident there are a lack of people that can afford to work there.

    The service, atmosphere, and food were amazing at Asheville Proper; we couldn't have asked for a better experience from beginning to end. Johnny P was our waiter and provided the absolute best experience we've had at a restaurant in Asheville or elsewhere in a very very long time. You guys have something very special as an establishment-- especially with Johnny on your staff.

    Asheville Proper is always delicious with an interesting menu selection. We celebrated my Mom’s Birthday with dinner & drinks. They have a wonderful choice of mocktails, too. Yum!

    Highly overrated and way too expensive for the quality of our food. The best part of this restaurant was the fact that we did have a good server. Three people in our group ordered steak, which they’re supposed to be known for, and they were all tough. I’ve made better steak at home that I bought at Walmart. Portions were small for the prices.
