The One Tapas & Bar

The chefs at this location is the main story! We ordered the seafood, steak over asparagus entree and it was to die for! I loved the food! The restaurant is tight yet cozy.

The foods were way too salty, and It took more than an hour for 3 dishes to come out. They gave us Bone somthing for the service. But the foods were too salty.. my husband had one bite, and we needed to ask for a Togo box. Also, the Octopus dish wasn't special to me. But the person who works here was kind. I don't think we will visit again.

First time here, AMAZING and did NOT disappoint!!! From the service, to drinks and most importantly to the food, everything was on point! I looked at all the tapas bars in and around charlotte and this place had a 4.7 rating (MORE THAN PLACES IN UPTOWN) and BIGGER portions to some. Quality and flavor wise everything was perfect. Could not recommend this place ENOUGH for date night. Drove 30 minutes to this place and it was worth it!!!!

While the service is good, cocktails are decent, the timing and speed of food coming from the kitchen is rather subpar. For an American tapas restaurant, it is good. No more. No less.

The cocktails were great and the food was even better. We were a group of 4 so we tried quite a few menu items. The oxtail empanadas were my favorite. We also enjoyed the quail, wagyu sliders, pork belly, and grilled octopus. The duck fettuccine just needs a little more seasoning and it would be great. The patatas bravas was missing the tomato base that we are used to. Other than that everything was excellent. It's close to home so we will definitely be returning.

New favorite spot for great food and drinks. All the food was perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. My favorites so far are the roasted duck fettuccine and seafood risotto 🤤. Can't wait to come back and try the other dishes

Dined in recently to celebrate the holidays. The place is very cozy with clean and modern, urban vibe. We ordered the truffle mushroom fries, Lobster chowder soup, Chef’s Daily Special Seared Salmon, Braised Short Ribs, Surf & Turf, and finalized the meal with very rich Tres Leches. The dishes were well executed and rich in flavors and well presented. The service was definitely impeccable. We were very pleased with the overall experience. It's a great local dining gem. Highly recommend and will return for more.

Had a NYE reservation at 8pm and were told that other people were sat there and we had to wait for a table to be available. We had to sit outside in 48° weather for an hour and 5 minutes because they didn’t have our table despite making a reservation about 3 weeks in advance. Restaurant was so small we couldn’t even wait inside. When we got inside we were immediately told that we had to order quickly because the kitchen closes at 9:30pm. Also got the vibe that the staff was avoiding us because they knew we were kind of upset. Literally got sat an hour past our reservation time and then got told to order quickly if we wanted food. Food was very good and our drinks were given on the house but i’m sorry… a free drink doesn’t improve the experience. What’s the point of a reservation? ESPECIALLY on a holiday..? We had somewhere to be at 10pm and had to then choose between eating dinner or making it on time to our 10pm plans because of sitting outside for an hour. Disappointing :(

Dropped by this place to celebrate Christmas with my mom. To keep it simple and light in calories, :D we decided to order the Holiday Prix Fixe menu. It was a great combo deal! We chose the Jumbo Sea Scallop, but also ordered an extra Potato Leek soup (outside the combo), for the entree, we chose Chilean Sea Bass, and finished the feast with a delicious Buche De Noel dessert. Ordered some sweet cocktails to add to the celebration. Dishes were executed and presented perfectly. Service was impeccable. It was a great holiday experience.
