This was the first time my fiancé and I have eaten here and it was great! Myles was amazing the best server. The food was really good and flavorful. I got the vodka penne and my husband got the Montana pizza and we were thrilled. Great service and great atmosphere!

Calamari
Roberto Y.

I had a good time with my wife. Great drinks and food. This place is a secluded bar next to Mario's Italian Restaurant. They have outdoor seating which made me feel safe during COVID. Servers are wearing masks. This is definitely a bar to relax and have a good time. Great Service!

Chicken Marsala
Brendan C.

I can only give this place 1/2 of a 5 star review because it, along with Mario's next door are actually the same kitchen! The owners are from NY too! The Mario side is sedate, and looked like a very nice place to eat. John's next door is a sports bar that will remind you somewhat of an Appleby's, but has a much more personalized touch to it. And the place was jamming when I went there for dinner Saturday. The food was excellent of course, as was everything else in there. I had the Chicken Marsala, and it was very good. Next time I will try the Saturday Prime Rib special. The whole experience was very nice, and very close by. I'll be back, - again, and again,- and you know,- again!

Fra diavolo seafood dish with calamari, shrimp, claims and scallops
Gloria Phuong L.

The service was awesome!! The waitress was very friendly and attentive to our needs. I ordered a peach drink, which was not strong enough for my taste. However, the waitress recommended something else that was totally my preference; this demonstrated her attention to details and consideration on other's preferences. I can't complain about the atmosphere we had here. However, if I had come in during regular (non-Covid time), this place would have received a four star from me. I grade most restaurants five stars based on: quality, quantity, service (waiter/waitress' s courtesy, atmosphere/cleanliness, and above-and-beyond (what else they offered that distinguishes themselves). I ordered a "seafood medley " pasta dish. From this dish, I can tell the techniques were perfected. They used fresh house-made pasta sauce mixed with stir-fried seafood mix and added everything to the pasta that has been cooked to perfection. Then, the resulting mixture was baked to perfection in the oven. It was fresh and hot. Technique-wise, everything was perfect. However, the scallop was tasteless; scallops' smell was fishy but it was tasteless. That means they picked the freshest frozen scallop they could have got their hand to since it maintained the texture. But scallop was pre-frozen. The same thing could be said of the clams and shrimp. So, bottom line, their technique was great, their ingredients, not so much to boast. That was the reason they would have earned four star review from me if it had been non-Covid time.

Great cocktail menu. It's the same kitchen as Marios so you can be sure the pizza is amazing.

If every restaurant had waiters like Elijah you would have a goldmine!

The One Tapas & Bar

Tucked away in a Harris Teeter shopping center in suburban Matthews, this terrific little tapas…read morerestaurant feels like it belongs in a more prominent spot, like SouthPark or Plaza Midwood. And as crowded as it was on our recent visit, The One may eventually have to seek out trendier, more spacious digs somewhere else in the Queen City. Until then, be prepared for a noisy ambiance, peak hour waits and tables that are a bit close for comfort. But the food and cocktails make it all worth it. The extensive menu of shareable plates offers something for every palate, from the tasty Fettucini with Roasted Duck Ragu and flavorful Braised Short Ribs to the amazing Oxtail Empanadas. Paired with a perfectly mixed Old Fashioned or a bottle of wine from their impressive selection, it adds up to a compelling culinary experience for anything from date night to an evening with friends. Service was excellent on our visit and prices were very reasonable for a meal of this caliber. Parking is free and super-easy, but reservations are highly recommended -- especially for weekend visits. My only gripe was the tightness of the space, which makes intimate conversation a bit challenging and the tables a bit crowded -- especially when you order a variety of plates. But if you can manage to visit on a quiet weeknight, The One will deliver a wonderful tapas meal that will have you planning a return visit before you pick up the check.

This place is just the best. The drinks, the service, the food... it's all amazing highly recommend…read morethis for a date night or a girls night out. Favs: drinks- Let's fiesta , snacks: zucchini chips, tapas: butternut squash tortellini. Hubby had the surf and turf: it was delicious and the chimichurri was fire. Sit at the bar with Jesse and Johnny.
