• Tapas / Small Plates • Asheville

The food and service were wonderful for Indusdty night. Harmony was very attentive, we loved that she brought a sample taste of the evening special wine and the manager stopped by to check in. The DUCK BAO BUNS were delicious. The Wagyu burger was perfectly prepared with flavorful toppings and a soft roll. The French fries were mildly spiced and tasty. The weather was mild so the doors were open to view the sunset over the mountains. Perfect evening.

This has become our favorite restaurant in WNC. Firstly, Blaze is in management and always helps her team. When we go she always makes a point to make sure everything is awesome and goes out of her way to endure it is. This is not just for us but all restaurant guests. The staff from restaurant reception to wait staff are excellent. I must let you know that also goes for the kitchen. The food quality, potions and presentation are snow and beyond. We can’t say enough of this team and restaurant. You need to go find out for yourself.

• Steakhouse • Asheville
Booked 11 times today
My husband and I took a trip to Asheville for our anniversary and chose Asheville Proper for our anniversary dinner. The experience was exceptional. When I made the reservation, I let them know we were celebrating. When we arrived, we were given a signed card from the staff wishing us a Happy Anniversary, which was such a sweet touch. We ordered a bottle of wine, steaks, sides and desserts. Everything was presented beautifully and was absolutely delicious and perfectly made. We will definitely be back when we return to the area in the future.

My husband and I had the Scotch broth--an excellent dish for a cool night! The cheese board was also very good, although I certainly wished for slightly larger portions of the excellent cheeses. They were served with honey and an excellent jam. The restaurant was very busy but service was great.

Little D's is a neighborhood gem with excellent flavors and great cocktails/beer/wine. We love dining there. The servers are always knowledgeable of the menu and specials and treat you like close friends. We also love that they open at 4pm and have happy hour app specials and occasional wine specials. One of our favorite places to dine.
