Delicious. Next was the cheese board, we were warned that it was a large serving, and while it had a lot of variety, I don't think it was massive based on other cheese boards we had. We split the Korean chicken and skirt steak. Both were exceptional!! When we're back in the area, we'll definitely plan to visit multiple times during our trip. My only complaint was how tightly packed seats are in the cellar. The table directly behind us was sat a few minutes after we were and the guests were VERY loud, so it was hard to hear each other in the small space. Not a knock on P&P, just people not being able to read a room and realize they were disturbing guests around them.

Pure & Proper was initially a charming little surprise. My friend & I chose outdoor seating on a…read moreFriday evening, & for most of our meal there was only one other group seated outside. The setting was lovely & felt like a great place to relax & catch up. The menu is small, but the selections are creative & surprisingly diverse...poutine, ahi tuna, Brussels sprouts, mussels, fried items, & more. If you have a dairy allergy or intolerance, however, your choices may be fairly limited. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, mussels, & ahi tuna, & honestly, all three were delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the food & had a wonderful conversation throughout dinner. The table next to us was seated very close & was quite loud, despite several other empty tables surrounding us, but we didn't let that take away from our evening. Unfortunately, what happened after dinner completely changed my impression of the restaurant. We declined dessert, received our bill, paid, & tipped generously. About 15 min later, we were approached by staff & told that we needed to leave because another party wanted our table. At the time, there were still at least six empty outdoor tables around us. We politely apologized, thanked them for the wonderful meal, & left. My friend & I walked downtown Black Mountain afterward, & about 20 minutes later happened to pass the restaurant again. What I saw was disappointing: our table had not even been cleared & remained exactly as we had left it. It was still empty, along with several of the surrounding tables. Being asked to leave was not what bothered me. Restaurants need tables, & I completely understand that. What bothered me was being told that another party was waiting for our specific table when what I observed afterward did not support that explanation. If there was another reason they wanted us to leave, I would have preferred simple honesty. The food was genuinely excellent, which makes the experience especially disappointing. Hospitality is about more than what is served on the plate; it is also about how guests are treated. Unfortunately, the way our evening ended overshadowed what had otherwise been a very enjoyable meal, & for that reason I would not return.

We had great service. We started with the caviar appetizer. This consisted of caviar atop a crispy layered potato tot with creme'. It was delicious, albeit expensive for the portion size. I could have had a plate of those as my meal if the price was not so steep. My husband ordered the Elk (when in Rome!) and I had the Scallops based on a recommendation from the bartender in our club lounge. Both were excellent, but my husband's elk stole the show. It was worth every bite. It had the same crispy potato as the caviar set up and was an excellent pairing. Perfectly cook cooked to the chef's recommendation with a lovely reduction sauce to complement the meat. No "gamey" moment in the slightest. Super fresh! It was a great first experience with elk. My scallops were also impressively cooked to perfection. Not overdone- which I find restaurants guilty of doing all too often, and usually leads me to not order scallops. They were accompanied by a butternut risotto, fresh mushrooms and a sauce that escapes me. The portion size was appropriate for that price point. We did not have room for dessert, but we managed to sneak in an espresso martini and an old-fashioned to top the night off.

The host was great…read more We ordered all the "sides" and then each chose a protein, I chose the 6 ounce filet with the lump crab topping and bernaise sauce. My filet was honestly a little small and not the best. The crab topping was not lump - I'm a Virginia/Maryland gal- I know my crab and I know lump. It was a $19 add on, and it was ice cold...like very chilled. I said something, and was told that's normal. It chilled my filet. There was supposed to be a lovely bernaise sauce...there was not. It was dry, I pushed that crab off my now cold beef, ate what I had. It was later removed from the bill. The server did offer to correct the issue. Nevertheless, skip the crab. And I would not order the $59 tiny filet again either. Most of the sides were pretty good...I liked the green veggies. Potatoes were quite good too. Get the rolls, well worth it, Ambiance and service were fine. I'm not sure I'd return here for the price point. I would suggest looking further.

We walked in without a reservation, sat down, and had the kind of long, unhurried dinner that feels increasingly rare. Nobody rushed us. They let us share plates without hesitation. The menu is billed as New American, and that's the right phrase for it -- genuinely eclectic, pulling from Spanish, French bistro, and Southern influences without committing to any one of them. The pork chop was excellent. The grilled carrots were genuinely memorable. The green salad was simple and well done. Our waiter recommended a wine that we were pleased with, and even offered a tasting. The wine list is deep for a room this size, and the cocktail list looks the same. Music was at that sweet-spot volume where you can hear your conversation partner and still hear the song. You could bring your parents, or come on a date, it works either way. Some farm-to-table places feel pretentious; this one doesn't. They don't make you feel dumb for not knowing every local distributor. One small gripe: a 3% "kitchen staff fee" printed on the back of the menu. I'm all for paying the kitchen, but I'd rather see it built into the prices up front. 4.7 Stars. What would push it to a solid five stars: drop the hidden fee and bake it into the menu prices. That's genuinely the only thing standing between this and a perfect night out.

My husband made an error on the bill and only tipped about 12% of the total, which worked out to about 15% of the food portion of the bill. Our bad; we usually do 20%. But for the first time ever in my experience, the restaurant CALLED US on the way home, demanding to know why we only tipped 12%! I was so jolted by this unfortunate ending to a nice night out that I knee-jerk apologized and told her to add more tip. Again, my bad: I should have either gone through the bill with her or just told them to stuff it. Granted, there was a minor calculation error, but restaurants know this happens, and you don't track down the diner and scold them. Left a bad taste in my mouth (pun intended). Don't think we'll be back.
