“I was a little taken back at first but the setup just adds to the atmosphere of this place. The people were fast, attentive and the meatball calzone was soooo good. Huge calzone! I ate half for lunch and the other half for dinner. It tastes like it was made fresh as well as the pizza sauce. Delicious!“

“Wings were the BEST we ever had! Caesar salad w/chicken was outstanding! Stopped by randomly for lunch. So happy we did.“

“I think that the concept and menu are good. The drawback from my point of view is that it smells a lot like food inside the establishment. They should solve that if it is not too much to ask and perhaps explain a little more specifically how to order and pay for the food in the establishment. restaurant, I think the young women do a good job.“

“Today I decided to actually patronize this establishment after seeing many posts about it and my sister raving about it. I had the macaroni and cheese with jerk chicken and my son had the steak and cheese panini with a side of fries. All I can say is yum, yum, yum! The portions were plentiful and I only ate a third of my meal. I would like to Thank you and your staff Chef Walt, and I will definitely be back ( This time I will call ahead…lol…..although the wait was not long at all).“

“Thus far the best breakfast joint I have experienced in Hartford County. Great food, friendly service, huge portions, reasonable prices and zero pretentiousness. The Italian bread they serve you, as opposed to the lame little bread triangles most other places offer, hands down seals the deal. Just remember to bring cash.“

“Just went to Bear’s and was amazing, food had a great taste. Staff were friendly and helpful on selections.“

“The food is excellent. The owner really puts love into her handmade dishes. Fresh ingredients make this spot a hidden gem. Try the shrimp rolls and the fried rice. Banging!!! Especially in a late night where all the restaurants are closed she is still cooking. ❤️ They have a juke box that has a good selection of pretty much anything. You can hear anything from Mobb Deep to the Eagles at this bar. Nice space to host a catered gathering as well as a small outdoor patio to enjoy the evening. Super cute spot. The bartenders could use an upgrade, as our order got forgotten for quite some time and there were quite a few forgetful moments but I guess it comes with the ambience. Try em...“

“Food was phenomenal, very authentic and tasty. We ordered the birria tacos with consomé, flautas and aguas frescas, everything was spectacular and full of flavor.

The decor was also beautiful, especially the hand-painted artwork on the sides of the boths which was bursting with color and whimsy.

I would highly recommend visiting for the food and atmosphere, as well as the great service :)“

“From my first contact with this venue to the last decoration being packed away, One Bar + Kitchen has easily become one of my favorite places. The memories curated and manifested for my daughter’s College Graduation and Hollywood Send-Off was absolutely incredible! Every single time I came in, called, texted with yet another detail or question, Eric, Chef, and the staff were gracious and attentive. Everyone in attendance had an excellent time, the food was phenomenal, and the desserts were delicious!!! Many lasting memories were captured and will be cherished by many! I have never held an event like this before, but rest assured I will hold more in the future here! This team is professional, committed, and humble. Thank you all for such a wonderful experience!!!“
