We were surprised how nice this place was. The place is not real big, but nicely furnished with both indoor and outdoor seating. It has a very nice outdoor bar. We went during lunch and it was not busy at that time, but I could see how it could really pick up in the evening. We enjoyed our food for sure and the service was great. We will definitely go back. read more

We visited this restaurant several times because we wanted to support a local business and enjoyed the live music performances by Soul Painted. Over the course of multiple visits, we tried a variety of menu items. The bacon appetizer was much saltier than we prefer, and the spinach dip was thinner than expected. On Mother's Day, we ordered the chicken and salmon entrées, and both were dry, tough, and lacked the flavor we were hoping for. Given the holiday crowds, it's possible the kitchen was managing a high volume of orders, but the quality of those dishes did not meet our expectations. The bar experience was also underwhelming. We ordered several classic cocktails, including an Old Fashioned, French 76, and Paper Airplane, and were not prepared because they lacked the alcohol selection. The liquor selection also seemed more limited than we expected for a restaurant positioning itself as a fine dining destination. To be fair, not everything was disappointing. The hamburger was very good and was one of the better items we tried. The live music by Soul Painted was consistently excellent and was a major reason we continued to visit. While we appreciate the effort that goes into operating a local restaurant, our overall experience did not align with the prices being charged. We had hoped for a higher level of consistency in both the food and beverage program and ultimately felt the value did not match our expectations. read more

Loved the food here. We had a pretty late dinner here on Saturday night and everything was great. The staff was very friendly and the service was pretty quick. We ordered: 1 buttermilk chicken - garlic mashed potatoes, corn bread, and broccolini ($32) 1 mac and cheese 1 16oz prime rib - mashed potatoes and broccolini ($62) The food was alllll delicious. The breaded chicken breast was flavorful and not dry. The prime rib was cooked perfectly and was juicy. The corn bread was sweet and moist. Th patio areas is big, well lit, and nicely decorated. We had a great time! read more

Beautiful decorated restaurant with a boho design and natural, warms colors and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They even have a great outdoor bar area that creates almost another experience. The service is slow and sometimes inattentive (and it wasn't even busy) and the workers and manager walking around look so serious all the time. The menu is small but there are options for every time of craving. The food is ok, nothing that wows you but also nothing that leaves you dissatisfied. We will give this another try hoping it will be a better experience next time. read more

This is a hard one because of the people I know connected to this restaurant. I have many people who said "not great and way too expensive" so we had not gone to check it out but a friend invited us to trivia night. Hard for me to order as I wasn't very hungry so I went for an app but the appetizer options were ehhhh. I ordered the calamari but there were more legs (squigglys) than ringed calamari. So for someone who hates that part of the squid - it was a waste of $18.00. The marinara is also way too sweet. It tasted like tomato paste out of the can. Wouldn't order it again. They are super spendy and the menu is high end for a shopping center BUT..... it's gorgeous! They did an amazing job decorating and making it super sexy. They did an amazing job differentiating the outdoor bar and restaurant from the inside. Very beautifully done. Transitions are great. Trivia night was fun. The table behind me kept rolling his chair into mine I finally gave him a push to his table - he did get a kick out of it I wouldn't go back for a meal but would go on a trivia night for funsies read more

The food is amazing and drinks are even better! Monica was the best bartender. Extremely kind and attentive to detail. Would recommend for any celebration! read more

The ambiance of this place is sophisticated and cozy, social but intimate, and modern! All staff that we came in contact with was kind and welcoming. The food was, to my surprise, very good and flavorful! I ordered the Salmon and Sprouts and my husband ordered the Shrimp Sacchette. We started with the calamari which were cooked to perfection and the sauces were......OMG......just delectable!! My only "complaint" with my food is there was too much burnt Brussels. I liked the crispy Brussels and the char added another needed flavor profile but it did become too much for me. The mashed potatoes that came with it were good as well. My husband's Shrimp Sacchette was the perfect amount of creamy and the shrimps were big! To finish we ordered the Berry Cheesecake and it was perfect! I'd also like to note that this place seriously has some of the CLEANEST utensils that I've ever seen from a restaurant!! The only reason I'm giving this review 4 stars is because of our waitress whose service could've been a little better. We waited 15-20 minutes before going to find someone so we can get our check because our waitress had not checked back with us. Other than this small thing, EVERYTHING was great! Before we dined we visited Rumor Has It and that was also nice. The bites in there are a bit pricey but I must say that the charcuterie board they have looks DELICIOUS! Although the prices are a bit steep, we will definitely be back for another date night and I'm looking forward to attending their brunch one Saturday or Sunday. I'm not too sure if there's a DJ for brunch but that'll be nice! I'll update you once I find out. ;-) read more

The food was good and we had a good time. I ordered the prime rib with a side of mac and cheese and it was good. The prime rib had a lot of flavor and was cooked well. The service was great and we were checked on several times. Employees were friendly. The patio was big with plenty of seating and the decor was nice! read more

One Story Social Dining - 16oz Prime Ribeye - Club Crawl Near Me - Buckeye, Arizona

The owners really took pride in building this place and spared no expense for the community to have a slice of upscale dining. The food is pretty good but the vibes are where it's really at! Thanks for making a place we can all enjoy without driving to downtown or Scottsdale read more

We decided to come back and try their brunch. There's several parking spots right in front of the store reserved for the restaurant. I ordered the prologue drink which was so pretty and delicious, but definitely on the sweeter side. I was between the grilled cheese or chilaquiles and the waitress recommended the grilled cheese, which was ok. Cost-wise it was cheaper than dinner, but overall still pricey for the area/location. I was surprised their outdoor area wasn't dog friendly, which was a bummer. read more

We have been waiting for a place like this in Buckeye. First off. The service. Mika was our server. And she was amazing. So attentive and I literally cannot wait to go back specifically to converse with her. The scene here: The decor out in the patio was sooooo good. The music, the bar, the vibes were very much exactly what I hoped for. The food. Calamari was perfect. The best we've had since moving here from Seattle. The short rib pasta was so good. My dad and I both ordered it and LOVED it. The burrata was the best touch. Cooling and adding just the right amount of cream. Amazing. My son got the fried chicken and gravy. The chicken was a chicken breast and it was so good. We loved everything! Can't wait to come back!!! read more

We found One Story on social media and decided to give it a try and it instantly became a favorite. The food and drinks were amazing, atmosphere and decor are gorgeous, but what really stood out was the holiday brunch experience. They went above and beyond. They had a Grinch who was actually hilarious and interacted with all the guests not just a quick drop by. They also had the kids write letters to Santa and send them off with return info. My kids later got letters back from the North Pole which blew their minds. I've honestly never seen a restaurant put that much thought and effort into something that goes beyond the time you're actually there. We left with full bellies happy kids and a new favorite spot. We'll definitely be back. read more

Okay. Not mind blowing but it was solid. The calamari was so salty and the white sauce it came with was a mouth punch of garlic (common theme for my life). The red sauce it came with, though, was pretty good. The sweet honey cornbread my chicken came with was like cake. Good on its own, but not ideal for the meal it comes with. Would I come back? Idk. Probably not of my own volition. read more

We had a reservation for our wedding anniversary. We sat at the bar ordered a drink while our table was prepared. The ambiance was absolutely adorable, I love all the details put into the decor the wall of books, the lighting and plates. They had a live performer the music was classic love it. I had a very yummy drink. Starters/food we had mac n cheese, brussel sprouts, cesar salad, and corn bread, om gee the crunch on it and fluffy inside. Our server was so cool, loved her vibe. We got a free cookie so sweet of her. We will be back. Love the restrooms too. read more

This was a very fun, trendy experience! The whole vibe was upscale but whimsical. I had a great time. Our server was awesome. The drinks were great, albeit a little small. And the food was pretty great too! The first thing my husband said when he took a bite was "That's a damn good burger", which is high praise from him. My only complaint was that the tomato soup was a little too thick, almost like condensed soup that was still gloopy. But this meal was still closer to a 5 than a 4 overall. The cornbread was also like a dessert, but in a very good way! I will also note that this place is not cheap. But knowing that going in, I was not overly upset by the prices. read more

Nothing is more annoying than having a reservation, seeing the restaurant empty & then waiting over 10 mins to be seated. There was only 1 waitress working in the Speak Easy, It was karaoke night, the same 3 people sang & a long lag in between songs with no MC. The food tasted it came out of the box. Preztel & Cheese, too salty & the cheese hardened up so fast (more like can cheese just heated up). The Mac & Tease - most definitely a tease. Also tasted from a box. The cheese got too hard after cooling off a little bit & too smoky. The cornbread - no description on the menu stated that there was going to be honey on the cornbread - should have named hit Honey Cornbread. Now the worse, you don't get a check, you get the waitress with an electronic pad & don't get to see the charges. Oh, but she did say no need to tip, in the Speakeasy tip is already added. Where in the heck on the menu or signage in the restaurant was there a 20% gratituity added AND a fee for using a credit card. This was not mentioned. I can't stand restaurants that are dishonest. Oh, but wait, we split the bill & she made a mistake & had to go get assistance. 15 mins later. then she walked away, never came back to provide us a receipt, even though we asked for it verbally & on the electronic pad. Customer service is horrible - the only nice person there was the Hostess, which she had no control over us waiting at an empty restaurant with a reservation. So disappointed. It would be better off to be a fast food or bar food restaurant, read more

I had the best time, geat service and the best bartender here name was Daisy, so make sure you see her when your there.

Gosh, where to start?! We just moved to the neighborhood and I was delighted to see there was a restaurant near us that wasn't a chain. Hallelujah! If I could describe this place in one word it is "elevated". The decor, the ambiance, the menu, the service. Truly top tier. We ordered the short rib burrata, the shepherds pie, the deviled eggs, the brussels, and spinach dip. My kids ordered the standard chicken nugget meal. Everything was so good. The short ribs were incredibly tender, the mashed potatoes on the pie were salted to perfection. Highly recommend this place. They accommodated any modifications. Highly recommend. read more

I really really wanted this to be a 5 star review because the ambiance is definitely 5 stars! We went with a group at 6pm on a Friday night. We were quickly seated in the outdoor seating area. Loved the vibe. The round tables were amazing and great music playing. Our waitress was Hannah and she was absolutely wonderful. However, our drinks took 20 minutes to get to the table EACH TIME, and our DDs (yay for non-drinkers) had to pay $4/each time for the lemonade in their Arnold Palmers(this is insane, we have nondrinkers who drink these all the time). The drink service from the bar alone made us rethink our choice. YIKES! We are all foodies and eat out regularly and are definitely willing to pay for great food, service and ambiance, so please know that! The ribeye was just ok, it came with a butter knife not a steak knife. He said it was OK. Two of us had the burrata with protein added. My salmon was delicious! However, there was no dressing, no salt and pepper, no balsamic on the salad it did have close to a head of roasted garlic!! I was starving so I ate it and kept dreaming of aomw sort of topping to add depth and some liquid to the very dry salad. See pictures (BTW we took the pictures before removing more garlic we found). Again great base and with a little tweak this would have been fabulous. The smash burger was just okay as well, decent for the cost. The other salmon was over cooked and under flavored as well. Throughout the dinner our drinks were very slow to come so it was a continuous rate for the establishment. We shared our love for the vibe but mediocre food with our friends as we all live in the neighborhood and were ecstatic for a new restaurant. This is the feedback eveeyone gave us as well. With a few tweaks this could be 5 stars. We will pop in occasionally for a chatting vibe but keep other places higher up for the quick drink service and flavorful food. read more

Read the reviews as they are pretty accurate. I can see where you get a 1 star or a 5 pending on experience. We walk in with service dog and they try to seat us in a couch with no table, nope not gonna work and it was obvious that the manager does not know how the service animal policy works.. Food was ok, however they had added an ingredient not listed on the menu, which could have been detrimental to someone's health luckily we caught it. Price is not worth quality of food, server Clayton was awesome and Estebon his assistant were great. As other reviews place is very pleasant to look at. I would shy away from the white/beige seat cushions as they were stained. Won't be back unless I hear owners step up the game as they are not Scottsdale and they are in a strip mall but they don't have to act like it. read more

We stopped in for appetizers and mocktails at the bar and absolutely loved our experience. The bartender was friendly, engaging, and made the whole evening feel fun and relaxed. The food and drinks were excellent and full of flavor. The vibes are completely on point and you can tell they didn't skip a single detail. I even wish I had taken a picture of the bathroom because it was hands down the cutest bathroom I've ever been in! To top it all off, the owner stopped by our table and genuinely made us feel so welcomed. You can really feel the care and heart behind this place.

This is a good news & bad news review. The bad news is that when I ordered the $62 prime ribeye it was not hot, or even warm, more on the cool side and it was very dry. Also the mashed potatoes were cold. The good news is their customer service was very good. When I sent my dinner back they were very apologetic and I ordered the buttermilk chicken which was was very good. read more

Zero stars. First no Shepard pie or pretzel which someone else said was their experience in the last month. What's the deal? Don't advertise it. Had your oven been broke for that long? The music (if you could call it that) was sooo loud you couldn't hold a conversation. We asked to have it turned down as there was one other person on the patio w us. That didn't happen. There were 4 of us. One got a salad. And then about 7 minutes later 2 got their burgers. And then about 7 min after that the 4th got their stew and cornbread. Not even hot. TOTALLY UNEXCEPTIONABLE! Horrible service. Over priced. Ordered a house well gin drink and was charged $22 for Hendricks. Our fault for not realizing this before paying. Will not go back. Perhaps you could have a quieter atmosphere from like 5-7 and ramp it up after that when a lot of your younger crowd is out and about. So disappointing. read more

Great elevated dining experience for the West Valley. Cute ambiance and great service. Cocktails were overpriced when compared to the quality in my opinion (I'll pay for a $20 well made cocktail any day); was underwhelmed with the cocktails personally. Food was good but pricey for the quality, esp for the West Valley but a fun addition to this area of town. read more

This is a beautiful space, but is overpriced and the food is underrated. They need a better Chef. Our shrimp was overcooked on the pasta, but the salmon dish was "fine". We waited a while for our cocktails and it wasn't that busy. Not sure if a 220.00 caviar appetizer alongside a pretzel with cheese sauce is the vibe. read more

We've eaten dinner here twice. The service is excellent! The staff are the friendliest and they exhibit pride in their presentation. The menu is somewhat limited.

Fortunately they do have a red wine from Paso Robles. I trust that area wine. It was fine. read more
