    Had a great NYE dinner at Asheville Proper (AP)! We had later (8:30) reservations and were in no rush. One post-Helene issue restaurants are dealing with is staffing. AP had no full-time bartender while we were there so there was a little bit of a wait to get drinks before being seated. Thankfully, our eventual server Emma helped us out! We were lucky enough to have her take care of us when we got to our table as well. Perfect service and the food was amazing - meatballs to start, then we both had petite tenders that were perfectly seasoned, along with mashed potatoes and brusssel sprouts. We will definitely return!!

    Enjoyed our experience. Just a couple of gripes. The side of mashed potatoes were lumpy and salty. When asked "How was the food" by our waiter we told him and there was really no response. No "Can we replace them" or "Can we take it of the check", Just no response. Also the menu was a bit misleading calling a steak a Petite Tender that was in fact a Teres Major. Fortunately I asked what it was, thinking it was probably the thin end of a tenderloin or something. The man on the table didn't and was quite disappointed by it. Also my wife loves a goof Fillet, so to not have one of the menu at a steak house was a bit odd. That said, my NY Strip was excellent as was my wife's lobster. I would definitely go again.

    Food and service was outstanding. Our server Emma was fabulous and the ambiance was perfect for a New Years Eve celebration. Very cozy. I think the calamari sauce was a little too garlicky last night and my sister’s petite filet was a bit tough. May have been a piece. The gnocchi was delicious and the romaine salad and cauliflower soup were both excellent. We recommend this place and would return.

    Excellent food, and we loved the atmosphere and environment. 4 stars due to the service being a little lacking. We felt rushed, and there were times that we had an empty glass for several minutes. We will definitely be back, though!!!

    Went for our 40th anniversary. One of the top five meals ever. Service was the best. Wish we lived in Asheville so we could more often.
