    Very nice experience here for a higher-end steakhouse. Steaks were cooked exactly as requested, sides were very good. Service was impeccable and the mixed drinks were expertly prepared. A little pricey for what you get, but definitely enjoyed our dinner here.

    Asheville Proper is an intimate dining experience. Watching the wood burning grill where the meat is prepared was fascinating. The server, Ema, was wonderful in the beginning. She created a great cocktail for me that was not on the menu. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and the selections and options. I had the Ribeye with the mojito butter sauce, a Romain salad with an apple cider vinegar dressing, not the buttermilk that normally comes with, the sweet potato mash and a Parker house roll. My wife had the Romain Salad and the soup of the evening and the roll. At this point, we had a 5:15 reservation, we were seated immediately and all is going well. Nothing was rushed. The salad and bread were great, even though my wife was expecting the buttermilk dressing on her salad, but was pleasantly surprised with the same dressing as mine. When her soup and my steak were delivered, by someone different than Ema, all looked great. I spread the whipped mojito butter sauce onto the steak and noticed it did not melt. I took my first bite and realized, even though the steak was prepared to a perfect finish it was cool, not hot. The flavor was wonderful, but the meat was not as tender as most well aged ribeyes and it was cool. We finished our meal, but did not see Ema again until finished. Water glasses were empty. On here return to see if we wanted desert, she did not ask about the meal we had. We said we would enjoy seeing a desert menu and that by the way the steak started out cool and was cold by the time I had finished. She apologized and hoped we would give them another try. A little disappointed. Had someone come by our table within 10 minutes of receiving our food I would have returned it. Ema started out 5 stars, but fell flat mid meal. We will try it again. I Would not get the ribeye, but would try the 8 oz tender, not to be confused with a tenderloin. Ema stated that it was more flavorful and tender than the ribeye. She said it came from the shoulder of the co

    Great atmosphere for Valentine's day dinner and the staff were wonderful. But the food was just average. I expected better for those prices.

    Our waitress was very nice, knowledgeable, and attentive. Food was delicious. The heat in the bathroom was pretty intense outside of that no real issues.

    Asheville Proper proves time and time again to be FANTASTIC. The open air kitchen, the friendly wait staff (who all pitch in at all the tables)- the steak, The KALE AND SMOKED MEATBALLS!!!!! (Literally two of the best things I've ever eaten), the ambience. To die for. Colby was our server last night and he was friendly, made eye contact and helpful suggestions. We will always return.
