    This restaurant was very well kept, the service was prompt and friendly, and the food that we ordered was excellent! My only note is that I feel like the menu is missing something, I wish they had a couple more composed dishes. I would recommend this place to someone looking for a nice meal in Asheville, and I would come back.

    My wife and I had the chef’s tasting menu last night which exceeded our expectations! We had eight courses with spectacular local ingredients and showcased wonderful creativity. It felt like a trip from the sea to the mountains, while highlighting local Appalachian produce, hyper-local meats, and their signature open flame hardwood cooking style. We met the chef and I have to shine a light on Jason Sweeney’s creative and bold takes on local cuisine. Our server was prompt, knowledgeable, and provided us with a lovely evening. I highly recommend trying out Asheville Proper the next time you are in town.

    Unfortunately our steak was a bit on the cold side. Out of all the dinners we had in Asheville this was the most expensive but not the best

    Went for 20th birthday. It was six of us. We were offered a tomahawk ribeye for $250 and have the chef come out. Explain the process of me and cut it and that was an additional $25 and it was the best thing we ever did it was delicious presentation fantastic. It was the best meat any of us ever had. We ordered a ton of other food and each plate outshined the next. What an amazing evening thank you.

    Great little restaurant in downtown by the Arcade. My second visit didn’t disappoint. Try the Grilled Peaches, awesome and light, great flavor. Amazing fire grilled steaks and perfect sides to compliment. Too full for dessert. A must in Asheville.

    In general the food was good with the exception of the calamari which was so chewy it was hard to swallow. No one removed appetizer plates until end of meal. My medium rare steak was not even pink. It was my husband’s birthday, which the server knew and no complimentary dessert was offered. Not sure this place warrants a return.
