    The food was excellent except it was not hot when served The waiter was good but was too busy to notice when our food was ready and was cold when delivered. Otherwise everything was great.

    We experienced disappointing service (rapid fire and forget), entree portions MUCH smaller than sharing plates although 3x cost, and seasoning (far too much or too little salt). I feel like more staff would have helped conditions considerably, we know this is a problem/difficulty in Asheville right now. However, we won't be returning anytime soon.

    Asheville Proper is one of our favorites in the area. The service is always top notch, and the servers are very helpful in suggesting wines as well as food choices. The only thing that crossed my mind was that the food was not very hot. Please understand that in all fairness, this was a busy Saturday night and there were several large parties being served. This is one of the very best places to eat in downtown Asheville.

    We love this restaurant. We come here every time we are in Asheville. That is 6 to 8 times a year. The foot is fabulous and the staff are exceptional. We have never had a bad experience at this restaurant. We are also very fond of their wine list. Some very nice European wines. Of course the wood burning stove is amazing. There is nothing not to like about this restaurant.
