Shoutout to Elijah what a gentleman, seriously one of the best servers I've had. He was super friendly, checked on us at just the right times, had great recommendations, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun.

This is the first Saint Patty's Day party here since they took over the old beer temple building on trade Street. I think everyone that lives in Matthews is here!

Only complaint is pendant light hanging in front of the TV blocking my view while I'm hoping Man City whips the snot out of West Ham. Check it out when you can! Cheers!

Tucked away in a Harris Teeter shopping center in suburban Matthews, this terrific little tapas…read morerestaurant feels like it belongs in a more prominent spot, like SouthPark or Plaza Midwood. And as crowded as it was on our recent visit, The One may eventually have to seek out trendier, more spacious digs somewhere else in the Queen City. Until then, be prepared for a noisy ambiance, peak hour waits and tables that are a bit close for comfort. But the food and cocktails make it all worth it. The extensive menu of shareable plates offers something for every palate, from the tasty Fettucini with Roasted Duck Ragu and flavorful Braised Short Ribs to the amazing Oxtail Empanadas. Paired with a perfectly mixed Old Fashioned or a bottle of wine from their impressive selection, it adds up to a compelling culinary experience for anything from date night to an evening with friends. Service was excellent on our visit and prices were very reasonable for a meal of this caliber. Parking is free and super-easy, but reservations are highly recommended -- especially for weekend visits. My only gripe was the tightness of the space, which makes intimate conversation a bit challenging and the tables a bit crowded -- especially when you order a variety of plates. But if you can manage to visit on a quiet weeknight, The One will deliver a wonderful tapas meal that will have you planning a return visit before you pick up the check.

Lots of dark wood, dark green upholstery, and Irish Knick-knacks/advertisements/decor, plus traditional Irish music playing. There is also rooftop seating. I ordered the Lavender Gin Spritz from the seasonal cocktail menu, along with a starter of Bread and Butter (homemade Irish Brown Bread with a selection of freshly made butters) and The Orchard Salad topped with grilled chicken. The salted butter was definitely my favorite with the bread but it was fun to try the sweet maple cinnamon butter and savory fresh herb butter. Our food arrived lightning fast. Unfortunately the kitchen was out of apples, which would have added a nice crunch and tang to the salad, but I just sipped my drink (which was not lavender forward) to get that "bite" instead. Service was friendly and fast.

It's a cute restaurant with a patio and live music was playing the night I visited. We had a great waitress who was thoughtful and attentive. I ordered a plain burger and brussel sprouts. The burger was great this time around. The brussel sprouts were ok, more on the vinegar based side than I'm used too. Our waitress returned them and we got different sides. The broccolini was amazing. The fries were ok since some were not completely cooked. The burger in the photo doesn't look like much but it was 9 out 10 in my book.

Was a little concerned because the bartender was not very attentive. After about 10 minutes she grabbed her purse and left. The other bartender stepped up and asked what we wanted. Everything changed! Laney was great, first with cocktails and then quickly getting us our food. Ordered the artichokes and was a little disappointed. The best I can say was they were okay. Little dry and could have used a sauce. Split a sandwich and was great. Overall nice environment, good food and service good (finally)
