COOK WITH INTENTION
We’re all about cooking with intention and purposeful ingredients to deliver a depth of flavor. Slowing down to do something well makes the enjoyment of great food and good conversation that much better.
EAT WITH THE SEASONS
Our food is straightforward and authentic. Our sharable plates change seasonally as we celebrate locally‐sourced produce at its prime. Seasonal eating is a delicious and sustainable way to support your local food purveyors and enjoy both recognizable flavors, as well as the unexpected.
YOUR NECK OF THE WOODS
We hope to be that third place for you to gather and catch up over a delicious meal and craft cocktails.
Owned and operated by the friendly and energetic couple, Owen and Mindi McGlynn of Asheville Proper, they wanted to create an inviting and easygoing space just for locals, located in North Asheville, away from the hustle and bustle of downtown life.

    This is a small place with a local, friendly vibe. The menu is a mix of small Tapas style plates and mains. We ordered 4 dishes from the small plates selection. The food was paced properly and well prepared. We had the Roasted Beets, Mussels, Scallops and Kofta. All were delicious, but the beets and mussels were outstanding.

    The server was very knowledgeable about the menu and was quite helpful. The food preparation was exactly as each person requested and the presentation was very nice. Seating is limited so reservations are recommended. Open seating was available at the bar.

    We loved all the new, small plate offerings. Our waiter was superb (wish I could remember his name but he has been there forever). Nice neighborhood vibe, great place in North Asheville to have as a dining option.

    We had several of the “share” meals and they were a great surprise! I had the snapper and it was cooked “in the dark” but very delicious. While there, they lost power for a few, but they never missed a beat. Good and drinks were spot on. Great experience.
