The One Tapas & Bar

This restaurant was unexpectedly amazing!! I'm traveling from Los Angeles (and I almost never leave Yelp reviews), and I didn't expect to have such great food! Great service also! We sat at the bar and could see the chef preparing our food, it was cool!Crispy pork belly, mussels, oxtail empanadas, braised lamb shank and sangria

I have to say this restaurant has become one of my favorites. The team goes above and beyond to try to make sure you have everything you need. We got there a little early they were able to see us immediately. The team that took care of us were most accommodating. We started out with the grilled shrimp and corn salad. I have to say it's a perfect combination, the succulent shrimp along with the sweetness of the grow corn was over the top. This was something we had never tried before, but I had seen others reviews, and it looked really good. The second thing that we had was the pork belly. The only reason why I didn't give this a five star review is because of the pork belly. It was a little dry otherwise it was OK. The pork belly the savory pork belly along with the sweetness of the slaw that it is served with is a perfect compliment. Our third topic was the duck Ragu with fettuccine. It was delicious. In fact the sauce was so delicious that my husband ordered bread service so he could make sure he got every bit of the sauce out of the dish. as far as the environment, it is the most intimate spot, not too many people in at one time I love the fact that it is such an intimate setting, and it is appropriate for just because or for a very, very special occasion

Quietly nestled in an unassuming stripmall next to a TCBY is an absolute gem! First of all, the service was warm and wonderful from start to finish. Monica is lovely as is the rest of the staff. Very conversational, congenial, and concerned about your experience. The food is truly delicious. The truffle fries (one of my favorite things on the planet) were done perfectly. No grease to be found on my fingers. The shrimp and corn salad is light and refreshingly flavorful. Now, the star that night was the scallop risotto. I don't even like mushrooms BUT the porcini crusted scallop risotto--just know I destroyed that dish. You MUST go here. I'll be back. Well worth the drive!

The One was tucked away in a small shopping center in Matthews that I definitely would never have noticed on my own. So I am thankful for the recommendation I was given!The restaurant is small, cozy, and intimate with only 7 tables. It is the perfect place for a date night or special occasion. I would definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time since the place is so small. I was not super impressed with the service especially with it being such a small place. My mocktail was delicious and the wagyu beef slider and fries had to be my most fav dish of them all. (Of course it's the only dish I didn't take a picture of because I was too excited to dive right in!) The duck pasta was good. Very flavorful and a nice size portion for a tapas. My least favorite item was the pork belly bun. Unfortunately I couldn't even finish it. I'm not sure what about it turned me, but I will say the size of the bun is large enough to split. For dessert there were two options and I decided on the caramel crème brûlée. It was so so good!! I highly recommend it!Overall, I was not super impressed and most likely won't be coming back anytime soon, but I am glad I went to see what all the hype was about.

Small restaurant with less than 10 tables, reservations would be good to have for large parties or during meal time.The food was flavorful - in the way that - you either love it or hate it. I like how they use the spices but it did not quite hit my friend's taste.Would recommend the bone marrow and the crostini (from special menu).

An underappreciated gem in Weddington Discovered this thru a foodie gf and she was absolutely right on 1 the One is fantastic.The zucchini chips were really light and not greasy. The crispy mushrooms were tasty but just not my jam. My dining companions loved them.The shrimp was just a touch overcooked. The corn relish was bright and delicious. The emerald green is beautiful against the black. It's a very chic look.The service was excellent. There were only 2 tables when they opened on a Sunday so she was very responsive & addressed our questions on the menu.

Elevated tapas. Alice was very nice and helpful explaining everything. They have two ipa's on draft to choose from. Shrimp had a great grilled flavor and the corn salad was refreshing. Croquettes had a nice sweet and salty dimension and the homemade dipping sauce was on point. Short ribs were fall off the bone tender and the sauce that came with them was a perfect complement. Only four stars because it was a bit pricey for tapas.

A nice surprise just down the road from home. Food and service were impeccable. Plan on becoming regulars.

Such a great meal!! The tapas here are incredible! It's a small place so good for date night or one other couple night out. Drinks are fun and delicious. Such a hidden gem in Matthews.

Hidden gem in Weddington! Been here a few times and always good. Great vibe. Great ambiance. Top shelf drinks.
