    Asheville Proper proves time and time again to be FANTASTIC. The open air kitchen, the friendly wait staff (who all pitch in at all the tables)- the steak, The KALE AND SMOKED MEATBALLS!!!!! (Literally two of the best things I've ever eaten), the ambience. To die for. Colby was our server last night and he was friendly, made eye contact and helpful suggestions. We will always return.

    As usual, nothing to critique. Food, service and decor all stellar. Pork belly appetizer is a must try. The crispy, sweet and smoky flavor with pecan garnish is a symphony of flavors that play in your mouth like a finely tuned orchestra. Logan was a standout server. Neva sold us on the vanilla cheesecake which was the most beautiful presentation I have ever seen for cheesecake. This 15 year establishment is a well oiled machine. Make Posana a priority for your next foodie experience.
