    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.
