    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.

    Loved it. Cody, our server was excellent. We'll be back and would highly recommend it to others. And their vodka gimlet was different and far superior to those I've had elsewhere.

    Excellent food and service and atmosphere! My only suggestion is to offer a wider selection of sides.

    Great meal at Asheville Proper. Very good salads and outstanding composed smoked duck dish. The duck was superb--one of the best duck dishes I've had. It has smoked duck, duck sausage, charred cabbage slaw, white beans, garlic confit, compressed apricots and butternut puree. Each component made the dish better--nicely done!

    Not that good for what you pay! You can find better steaks at a lower price elsewhere. Had the ribeye very chewy. Not worth the price!
