    Service was extremely slow. We watched 3 other tables of guests who arrived after us be served, including dessert., and leave before we finished being served. In addition our server promised rolls which we never got. No apologies by our server. We won't return.

    Excellent food. Had a reservation and had to wait 15 minutes for our table. Minor, but when paying those prices, you’d expect a quicker time to seat. Food was amazing. Waiter was insightful and nice. However, water went unfilled several times throughout the night. Overall great date experience, I’m sure we happened to go on a day where service just wasn’t the best. Cheers.

    To be upfront, this would have been a 5 star but for the fact that one entree was unacceptable BUT to give the restaurant proper credit they did take the charge off the bill and were very polite about it. Otherwise other meals were great. The Duck was outstanding, the fish special (salmon) was very good, the gnocchi app was 100% and the wagyu beef tarter was exceptional. While the group did not order a bottle of wine the list appears very good to excellent. The red wines by the glass recommended by the server was spot on to what my quest was seeking. Good call. We will return.

    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.
