    This is our favorite restaurant in Asheville, the food is deliciously prepared. The combination of the seasoning and wood fired grill makes everything taste amazing. You must get the bone marrow as a starter. Great textures of the marrow and the accompaniments

    Wow!! Excellent greeting at the front door and we’re seated right on time. Service was perfect and added to the experience. We felt as if we were at home. Talked, laughed, and enjoyed a few hours of fellowship. Speaking for myself, The New York strip was PERFECT and the young lady at the front said that steak would NOT disappoint; she was spot on. If you want a great place to dine, Asheville Proper is your place. We will be back. Thank you, Eric Miller Business Development Manager STX Corporation

    Wonderful dining experience all around! Tess was one of the most attentive, knowledgeable and proficient servers we have met in a long time. Most importantly the food was superb and the cocktails delicious.

    My Manhattan was not sweet at all, which is unusual for that drink. I sent it back and I suspect they added simple syrup. Steaks were OK, but did not measure up for the price. My ribeye left me putting aside lots of gristle, which I would not expect for a high-quality piece of steak. My son ordered a medium-rare NY strip that came out quite rare. Chimichurri sauce was excellent. Appetizers were average at best. Very high cost for what one gets...

    We've never dined out at a restaurant in Asheville where every dish, every bite, balanced and expressed absolute deliciousness. Proper might be the most refined dining experience in town.

    We are Asheville locals and definitely have our favorites that we go back to regularly. Asheville Proper is a favorite for our date nights. We like having somewhere to dine that we can dress up a bit a not feel out of place (that's rare in our laid back mountain town that caters to tourists). And we always have stellar service, cocktails, meals and enjoy the ambience. Their service staff know us and it's nice to see the same faces each time. It's also great to have consistently delicious steaks, sides, drinks and dessert. We enjoy bringing visitors and clients to enjoy it too. Don't skip on dessert! Their take on s'mores is not to be missed!
