The interior feels contemporary/cool, yet kind of funky, in a good way. It's a little pricey, but honestly it's appropriately priced for the high quality. for us, it's kind of a special occasion place, but if we were rich, we'd be there all the time! Service was patient and efficient. Surprisingly excellent find!

It was a little loud and we were seated at one of the tables by the bar so everyone was walking by. We shared a couple of shareables and one main. The shareables were a real hit. The chargrilled red beets were scrumptious , with the sultanas, lavenydust and a wonderful sauce. The grilled shrimp were cooked perfectly and the grits with blister peppers and sauce were tasty. The airline chicken was good but the shareables were a step above.

The service was out of this world. Warm, intuitive, knowledgeable, and gracious without ever feeling rehearsed. It set the tone for the entire evening. And the food delivered. The focaccia was some of the best we have ever had--full stop. The fried chicken did the South proud: soulful, beautifully executed, and deeply satisfying. The desserts tasted as though they had been made with utter love. We were especially amused when they comped our gnocchi because, frankly, they had no business doing so--it was wonderful. Perhaps the kitchen was chasing perfection, but what they achieved instead was an elevated alternative to the traditional preparation: unexpected, distinctive, and completely delicious. The wine selections were equally impressive. These were clearly inspired choices made by someone who genuinely knows and loves wine--not simply a list of predictable labels, but bottles chosen with intelligence and personality. Then there is the room itself. The vibe was one of intimate, secret decadence--as though you had somehow stumbled into a dinner party you weren't supposed to know about but were very glad you'd been invited to. And just when we thought the evening was over, the bar offered us a small amuse-bouche of port. It was the perfect final gesture--a kiss on the cheek as we walked out the door. Trillium Table gave us hospitality, food, wine, atmosphere, and heart in equal measure. An outstanding restaurant and an unforgettable final night of our trip.

The entire staff were kind and super accommodating from the moment we walked in. The cocktails were incredible, the main courses cooked to perfection, and the desserts were amazing. The names of the menu items were carefully curated to fit the classic literature theme, and the decor was so cozy. The owner made so many recommendations, was so down to earth, and really passionate about her job. I loved the music too! It reminded me of something from the movie Chocolat. I can't believe this place doesn't have more buzz, but it's still recently open. I know it'll be hit the more people discover it! The staff even gave us a signed card from the staff for our 10 year anniversary and it made me tear up. They also comped us a side dish for what I didn't even realize was a wait--but from what they told me, they were use to moving much more efficiently due to a call out with a server. I wouldn't have known! So grateful for our experience and we can't wait to come back. Hannah and Maggie took such great care of us!

Delicious. Next was the cheese board, we were warned that it was a large serving, and while it had a lot of variety, I don't think it was massive based on other cheese boards we had. We split the Korean chicken and skirt steak. Both were exceptional!! When we're back in the area, we'll definitely plan to visit multiple times during our trip. My only complaint was how tightly packed seats are in the cellar. The table directly behind us was sat a few minutes after we were and the guests were VERY loud, so it was hard to hear each other in the small space. Not a knock on P&P, just people not being able to read a room and realize they were disturbing guests around them.

It is simply decorated on the inside and outside of the space. They have an upstairs and downstairs outdoor seating area. They also have indoor seating upstairs and downstairs. It looked like they have a little grab and go bakery / coffee spot inside. Service: The service was great. All the people we met were so friendly and helpful. The place was very clean and well maintained. Food: We were blown away by the food. I was amazed by what we ordered. My husband had their 'Monte Cristo' sandwich and LOVED it. He said it was the best sandwich he's ever had. I had their 'Catfish & Grits' which were delicious. It was packed with so much flavor. I loved the pickled onions that came on top of the dish. The catfish and grits dish hit all the tasting notes. It was sweet, savory, and a little sour with the pickled onions. I LOVED it. We will definitely be back during our trip in North Carolina. We've been to several Michelin star and recommended restaurants and Pure & Proper should be on the list!

The last time we visited this building it housed a different French restaurant for Valentine's Day, but this is an entirely different experience in every way--from the ambiance to the menu. When we arrived, our table was just beyond the host stand. I initially worried that being so close to the entrance would be noisy, but that wasn't the case at all. The first-floor dining room was quiet, comfortable, and inviting. The only interruptions were cheerful birthday celebrations for three other guests. Mani was our server, and he was friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the evening. His service matched the restaurant's upscale atmosphere. Everyone enjoyed their cocktails, wine, and entrées. The crab bisque was rich and flavorful with just a touch of heat, while the French onion soup was a satisfying classic. The salads were fresh and generously portioned. My Duck Confit Risotto was exceptionally tender, and I thought the portion size was fair for the price. The wine selections were excellent, and Mani graciously replaced one guest's pour with wine from a newly opened bottle when she felt the first glass wasn't as fresh as expected. A complimentary dessert for the birthday guest was a thoughtful touch from the restaurant and a nice way to end the evening. She chose the cheesecake, which was generously sized, so we took it home to enjoy later. The only disappointment for me was the potato-based appetizer, which I probably wouldn't order again. Overall, though, it was an excellent dining experience, and we'd happily return.

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.

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!
