We came for brunch. Party of six. We were seated immediately and Demi was our server. She was very attentive and took great care of us. All out entrees were served quickly and were very fresh and tasty. We had a very good time. There was one issue with the temperature of one of the entrees and it was resolved quickly.

The atmosphere is that of a speakeasy with dark wood and minimal lighting. Wonderful handcrafted cocktails all with a history backstory are offered. Our server was very knowledgeable of the cocktails and we indulged in a couple of mezcal concoctions that did not disappoint. We ordered pizzas, one of which was the Verde on a GF cauliflower crust. The flavor was delicious. My husband ordered the Carni pizza. My only complaint was that the GF pizza came warm rather than hot, most likely because it was done before the Carni pizza. This is our second visit to Bar One. We will definitely be back.

It’s a steak restaurant but the lobster and shrimp rolls are to die for and the complimentary bread as well…along with the bake potatoes…if your looking to get full and have a great exquisite night with your loved one then come here you won’t regret it…we sat in the back towards the kitchen in these cute cubicles with a thick glass separate us from the kitchen and cooks. It was a nice view for the price we paid.. if I could rate it my rating would be a 100/100
