    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.

    Started out the night with a VERY nice welcome. The server arrived at our table with a smile and quickly took our drink order. When she came back with our drinks, she explained some of the options on the menu. She wasn’t rushing us she just wanted us to make a great choice. Because of her explanation, my wife and I ordered something different than our original selections. The food came out hot and tasty. The server and restaurant were very busy but we never felt rushed or the time wasn’t too long in between courses. PERFECT pace. PERFECT food! PERFECT service. Did I mention everything was PERFECT?
