Was really good! Didn’t know what to expect going in but almost all the dishes we chose were excellent. This place is an experience. Rare items liked Roast Red Bone Marrow and ox tail.Easy to miss in the strip mall but a hidden gem.

Good atmosphere but not so great food - I ordered the Roasted Bone Marrow and it was not cooked properly. It was way undercooked and had the raw smell to it. I had to spit out the one bite I had because it was awful. By looking at it, you could tell. Drinks were good so that’s a plus - male bartender was awesome. Wouldn’t come back but cute for a drinks and hanging out.

My boyfriend and I visited Charlotte recently. We heard about this gem in the neighborhood. We got a table, reserved a day before,👍We ordered crispy mushrooms, truffle fries and calamari to start with. For entrees we ordered the Grilled Octopus, Lamb lollipop, grilled Branzino fish, Scallop Risotto, and Braised Lamb shank. Food, drinks and ambience were spot on! Service was impeccable🤩Overall very impressed and will definitely go back for more!

What a Gem we found today!!! Saturday took a whole different vibe when we walked into this place. Although located in a strip mall you will be pleasantly surprised when you walk in!!! When I saw the word tapas, I was mentally prepared to order a lot of different food because we know how small tapas are. NOT here!! My fiancee and I ordered 3 tapas and were delighted by the presentation, the flavor and the amount! Is like a full plate! I also asked Alex, who was super welcoming and nice (and who happens to be one of the owners) what drink she would recommend since it was our first time there. She asked all the right questions and I ordered one of her two recommendations: The Bad Apple. It comes with a bubble and it will dissolve opening the door to one of my most memorable drinks! This place does not serve small drinks, it was a big glass but perfect amount. Now let’s talk about the food🩷. The sliders will change your opinion about burgers because the meat has this unique, delicious flavor that makes you forget is a mini burger. The braised short ribs melted in our mouth and the sweet potato puree was just a ticket to heaven (literally)! The lamb lollipops are 3 pieces that will definitely make you want to eat more and more. The place has about 13 tables elegantly set up, the staff is highly knowledgeable and super nice. The One Tapas & Bar will see us there more often because they check all my boxes of what I look for when I want to eat great food, enjoy a good ambiance, and receive excellent customer and last but not least, very affordable price. I Highly recommend this place and adding them to your favorites🩷🩷!

Absolutely amazing place! The atmosphere is warm and stylish, and every dish we tried was full of flavor — especially the tapas selection and sangria. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. Perfect spot for a relaxed dinner or a night out with friends. Highly recommend The One Tapas!

Quiet, pleasant, and cozy place with a romantic evening atmosphere. Everything seems nice, but there are big problems with the food. The menu is confusing, and the portions are extremely small — you’d need to order several dishes just to have dinner.
Service is fast, and the waiters are very friendly.
So it’s a solid three stars. Sorry guys, but you really need to work on the menu.

This place was such a pleasant surprise! When we first pulled up I was a bit underwhelmed since it’s located in a strip mall but once inside I was like “Ooo, this is nice!”

Service & Ambiance:
Alice was attentive and her recommendations were spot on she didn’t steer us wrong. The ambiance is perfect for a date night cozy, chic, and inviting.
Drinks:
The craft cocktails were well balanced and full of flavor.
Food:
For a tapas bar the portions were generous. We had the charcuterie board, oxtail empanadas, and fried burrata all 10/10! The short ribs were flavorful and tender (slightly on the salty side but the sweet potato balanced it perfectly). We finished with the creme brulee, and honestly it was the best I’ve ever had.
We can’t wait to come back!
