HONEST FEEDBACK. The…read moreonly thing that took away from the experience was that it was my wife's birthday, which I had included in the reservation, and there wasn't any acknowledgment of it. I asked the hostess about it, and they said they could add a candle to a dessert if we purchased one. I was a little surprised by that, especially considering we were spending around $200 on the meal. Even just a simple birthday greeting from the staff would have been a nice touch and made the experience feel more special. One other note: the Filet Mignon itself does not come with any real sides, just a small microgreen garnish. At this price point, I would expect at least something simple included, like vegetables or a small accompaniment. We've been to other higher-end restaurants where the steak comes with something like carrots or seasonal vegetables, which helps make the plate feel more complete. Having just the steak on a large empty plate made the meal feel a little underwhelming for the price. I'm not trying to compare restaurants, but we've been to other upscale places where they add small touches like a complimentary dessert, a personalized menu saying "Happy Birthday" or "Happy Anniversary," or even a small celebration moment with a sparkler. Those little details really elevate the experience and make guests feel appreciated. The food was amazing, and the service was quick. We ordered two Filet Mignons, the Gnocchi, Confit Potatoes, and a Coke. Everything we had was delicious. Overall, the food was excellent & delicious, but for the price point, I expected a little more attention to the overall experience and the special occasion.

We had an incredible experience at Asheville Proper and I felt compelled to share just how…read moreexceptional the entire team was. First, a huge shoutout to our waitress Emma. Her personality, attention to detail, and genuine care for our table stood out immediately. She was engaging, thoughtful, and clearly takes pride in making sure every guest has an amazing experience. Service like that elevates a great meal into a memorable one. Michael, the manager, was equally impressive. I watched him throughout the night--expediting, hustling, and constantly moving to keep the team running at peak efficiency. You can tell when leadership truly cares about the experience in the room, and he absolutely sets the tone for excellence. We later learned the head chef was out on maternity leave, which honestly shocked us because the sous chef was in absolute beast mode. Plate after plate came out flawless. The consistency, quality, and presentation were top-tier--you would never know anything was missing from the kitchen leadership. Now the food... simply incredible. We tried all of the sides, and every single one felt like a masterpiece of its own. Each dish had a genius mix of flavors and the same "wow factor" you'd expect from a main course. Nothing felt like an afterthought. I think my favorites were the beets and sweet potato tots. Who knew those vegetables could be lifted into a literal stand alone experience. I ordered the Ribeye, medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly. The flavor, temperature, and seasoning were of the highest caliber--easily one of the best steaks I've ever had, and I've eaten all over the world. For appetizers we went with the Curry Mussels and Bone Marrow. They were beyond belief. Every plate held its own level of excellence. The food: Amazing. The atmosphere: Amazing. The team: On a whole other level of amazing. We were celebrating a business success, and the team at Asheville Proper made it feel like we were truly winning. Highly recommend. I literally believe these guys just gave me one of the top two meals I have ever had! Keep it up, team!

We had great service. We started with the caviar appetizer. This consisted of caviar atop a crispy layered potato tot with creme'. It was delicious, albeit expensive for the portion size. I could have had a plate of those as my meal if the price was not so steep. My husband ordered the Elk (when in Rome!) and I had the Scallops based on a recommendation from the bartender in our club lounge. Both were excellent, but my husband's elk stole the show. It was worth every bite. It had the same crispy potato as the caviar set up and was an excellent pairing. Perfectly cook cooked to the chef's recommendation with a lovely reduction sauce to complement the meat. No "gamey" moment in the slightest. Super fresh! It was a great first experience with elk. My scallops were also impressively cooked to perfection. Not overdone- which I find restaurants guilty of doing all too often, and usually leads me to not order scallops. They were accompanied by a butternut risotto, fresh mushrooms and a sauce that escapes me. The portion size was appropriate for that price point. We did not have room for dessert, but we managed to sneak in an espresso martini and an old-fashioned to top the night off.

Unfortunately, my steak had an odd flavor, so I didn't finish it. I didn't want to make a fuss or disrupt dinner, so when I saw our server away from the table, I quietly mentioned it. I said I wasn't sure what caused the unusual taste--it reminded me somewhat of freezer burn, although I also wondered if it might have been the pesto butter. I wasn't making an accusation or claiming to know the cause. I was simply trying to describe the flavor. Our server apologized, and I thanked her. The manager then came to our table and challenged my feedback, explaining that the meat had just been butchered and that they don't freeze it. I repeated that I didn't know the cause, only that something tasted off. The exchange was uncomfortable enough that everyone at our table was taken aback. Our server later returned and apologized for the interaction. We explained that I had spoken to her privately for a reason. The server then offered us a $5 coupon toward a future visit. Needless to say, we left it behind. I rarely post negative reviews, but the manager's defensive response turned a minor food issue into an unnecessarily uncomfortable experience. A simple acknowledgment would have been appreciated.

Most of the restaurants seating is at two long bars that are the length of the restaurant. It really works out well, blends that southern hospitality with the more unique pace of seeing chefs make their creations. We tried so many dishes and all were just incredible. The lamb skewers were impeccable -- do NOT miss this dish. It's such great flavor and the house pickles are a must with this!! The next was the paella. It was next level. Bursting with flavor and the best bang for the buck! Sooo much food and you just don't want to stop eating it all. The octopus is made so perfectly -- loved this! The patatas bravas are so comforting too, love this. The waitstaff was so friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was so cozy and intimate! Don't skip the sangrias either!!
