    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!

    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

    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

    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.

    Lively place to he at on a Friday evening. Arrived around 7:30pm on a Friday before we saw a movie…read morenext door at 9. Not busy yet so we were able to snag a table right infront of the pool table. My husband and friend were able to play multiple rounds of pool while waiting. Everyone was super friendly and efficient. Gave great recommendations. Tried their Irish sausage & hot honey pizza. All was delicious and had no complaints. They had someone there performing for the night which was pretty good but I only got to listen to two songs as we had to leave for the movies. Great hangout spot if you want a chill night or grab a quick bite and drink before the movies.

We never picked up any negative vibes from her "coworker". We had never met these ladies before and my fiance and I were enjoying meeting new people at the bar. Gianna M. seemed hurt that we took all the attention away from her. Her father was a fellow alumni from Independence Highschool (Class of 85) and we were talkng with each other about the upcoming reunion that I was going to be DJing at as well as member of the graduation 'class of 85". Gianni M. Father was very polite to us. Gianni M. the whole time I was talking to her Father had this defeated look on her face and just looked angry the whole time we were in there. She just snapped on us when my beautiful fiancé and I were talking to her friend. She was happy speaking to us and never got any weird vibes from here when we were pleasantly talking to her. Gianni M. got jealous and freaked out on us and said" Hey you are talking to my girlfriend" in an angry manner. We were shocked and insulted by her and Gianni M. is the reason we left angry. Booby is a nice guy and to Bobby I apologize that it didn't work out that we could stay but Gianni M. made us feel like we had hit on her girlfriend. Also Gianni M. i'm not 60 years old and we weren't hitting on your 'girlfriend". I was with my beautiful fiancé and you pissed both of us off. Get Happy Gianni M. !!!

    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.
