Tapas Restaurants near Matthews, NC

“Absolutely blown away by our experience at The One Tapas. Every dish was beautifully executed you can truly taste the attention to detail. The flavor profiles feel elevated and refined, when you pull in and see this hidden gem you would never expect for the fine dining experience you are about to receive. What really made the evening stand out was the personalized service and ambiance. The staff took the time to walk us through the menu, offer thoughtful recommendations, and made us feel genuinely welcomed the entire time. Between the exceptional food and the attentive service, this was easily a five-star experience. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates refined flavors and a memorable dining experience.“

“Five stars for Jillian! We visited the rooftop bar and she absolutely made our evening. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever hovering. Her cocktail recommendations were spot-on — she clearly knows the menu inside and out — and she timed everything perfectly, even as the bar filled up. It’s rare to get service that feels this effortless and personal at a busy spot. Jillian is a true professional and a huge asset to this place. We’ll be back, and we’ll be asking for her section.“

“Belissima! Vibes and decorè, unmatched! Its sexy, sleak, and a lil sultry. The back lighting at night is gorgeous. It creates a very intimate vibe. The food is small plates so don't belive you're going to feast. My only draw back was flavor. When it said SPICE I was expecting an indulgent amount of SPICE with unique flavor compliments. Being internationally inspired I guess I was reaching. I will say that the food presentation was beautiful.“

“This place is AWESOME! great food and great service.“

“We held my daughter’s celebratory graduation dinner from UNCC at Barcelona Wine Bar this past weekend, and it was absolutely perfect! I planned the event far in advance with Tiana, their Sales & Events Manager, and she was thorough, communicative and handled it all like a pro, including a last minute change to the menu that she texted to me (smart). She arranged for printed menus with the event name (lovely detail!) and because they can’t include mussels, her favorite, on an event menu (understandable), they surprised us and sent her some anyway on the house. Our main server (I’m blanking on her name so sorry we love you so much!!) and our bar servers, Morgan and Justin (who we kept busy 🤣), should win personality of the year awards for their wit, humor, charm and skill (for instance, Morgan wowed us with his tapas plate stacking ability and made sure to holler in my Mama’s good ear when he spoke 🤣). It was great fun, and the food was DELISH!! Highly recommend for events and also looks like a fun place to just hang out!“

“Just visited the Charlotte Uptown location today and it was fantastic! This was my third time at this location and I think it's even better than the last two times. Keon, our server, was exceptionally nice and made our lunch such a great experience. Love Jinya! So good!“

“When visiting Charlotte, my husband and I came here on a Friday night and absolutely loved hearing Justin Mintun! He’s an extremely talented musician with an incredible voice. He is also super personable. Our bartender, who I think was Mark (sorry, my memory is terrible) was amazing. He’s so passionate and we are routing for him in all the competitions he’s in! He crafted the recipe for the mezcal drink that I had and wow. The thyme, mezcal, grapefruit and elderflower all went so well together.
Finally, we loved the peach and prosciutto flatbread. It was flavorful and cooked perfectly. We can’t wait to come back!“

“We had an excellent experience. The food was really good. Really nice dining area and outside seating. Absolutely loved it.“

“Dinner was amazing. Best steak and pot roast we have had!“

“I have been to Mariposa twice - once with my husband for an aperitivo and again with my friend for lunch (I was picking up my painting at the Mint). Stephanie was our server both times and she was so nice, knowledgeable about the menu, and efficient. She made it a pleasant experience each time. The food was delicious. my husband and I had pizza, my friend had a lamb burger and fries, and I had the shrimp and crab cakes. I will definitely return!“

“Great beer and better people.“

“Great atmosphere with great service.“

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place! The food and service were absolutely outstanding. We shared a selection of small plates, each more delicious than the last. The restaurant’s warm and inviting atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be returning soon!“

“My son, his GF and I had brunch here this past Saturday and it was beyond delightful! The food and the service were absolutely perfect, and the weather for sitting on the patio couldn't have been better. Our server (Samantha?) was spot on, sweet, and very helpful. We ordered the blintzes, Eggs Benedict with cheddar jalapeño grits, Turkish Eggs, and breakfast tacos with home fries and we split everything. We were all in food paradise for the next hour or so. I have never considered myself to be a blintzes person, but each bite was like a pillow of heavenly sweetness. When we got the check we were all shocked that it was only $65, as we all thought it would be over $100. I can't recommend this place more highly and I will return as often as I can!“

“Great time, friendly service and phenomenal atmosphere. The food was amazing as well. Management Team On Point…“

“Awesome spot! Great beer and wine selection.“

“Really enjoyed the staff and wine selections. They were very helpful! Food was yummy and the private room was perfect for our party. They even convinced me to try a sweet red ( German dornfelder) that was delicious!“

“The service was fantastic here and the atmosphere was perfect! Our server Cole really took care of us while we were celebrating our friend’s dinner. 11/10 recommend highly!!! Being pregnant I can only have mocktails and Kyle served me the best ones ever!!! Peach lavender was my favorite! Price is just right too! Fun place!“

“Great atmosphere and Leanne runs a great team and Krystal and Jamie are the servers/bartenders to have! Always deliver a great experience and great food! 11/10 recommend“

“My first visit was, at lunch today, with my daughter. It was WAY better than I expected. The food was very good and the staff was equally as friendly.“

“Absolutely delightful experience! Gentleman helping us was so lovely. His name began with a T but the space was a little dark and I could not see the spelling of it. I asked his opinion about 2 items on the menu. He was very adamant about one being exceptional. This is what I absolutely adore when a server can share what is special about their menu. Needless to say the bang bang tacos are very well crafted the shrimp are crunchy in their breaded coating yet there are sauces and cabbage on the tacos but the shrimp isn't mushy. Very well assembled and timed creation and when it was brought to the table timing.

Spouse greatly enjoyed his meal as well of sliders.

Kelly the bar keep and mixologist has fashioned truly exceptional mocktails. I would say they would hold their own against any higher end mocktail in Manhattan. Truly multi faceted in the flavor notes, texture and the evolution of the taste.

Love this bar and will absolutely be back again!“

“Great food, great atmosphere. Make sure to check this place out!“

“Enjoyed watching Monday night football at the bar & eating dinner. I got the buffalo wings - beware, they do not taste at all like buffalo wings. They were good but to me, tasted like some kind of a rub. They were nice & crispy. The sweet potato fries were fantastic! My husband got a chicken club & regular fries. He liked his sandwich but his fries were not crispy at all. They charge outrageous prices for tequila - be aware!“

“Our server Nick was great. I was a bit dissatisfied with empanadas it was little greasy. Jerk chicken good, oxtail great. Our goat nachos pieces was big chunks, maybe if you cut it smaller and Seasoning it a bit more. Overal 7 out of 10. If those changes are made i will come back.“

“Very nice and elegant rooftop bar inside the Grand Bohemian. We only had drinks but the view was nice and the drinks were good. The service could have been better, we felt rushed and one of our drinks was taken from the table even though it wasn't empty. Overall okay experience.“

“It's a restaurant in a hotel which I know is kind of off-putting for some people, but their food is genuinely fantastic. I'm bummed out they no longer have oxtail starting right when I got here, but the steak and the salmon were both fantastic and well executed in flavor and presentation. If you're finding this place on Google, and you might pass on it because it's in a hotel, just give it a shot. The service is a little slow, but I genuinely enjoy the food.“
