One Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Fairfax

If you are considering going here.. Stop pondering & Just GO!

We enjoyed sitting outside (the inside is beautiful as well w/ huge Money Trees along with other well taken care of plants) and it was so peaceful. A much needed and welcome break after working our brains all morning.

Let's start with how they bring a pitcher of Water to pour in a chilled glass with not one fingerprint or residue from lips on it. For me, the attention is in the details.

I ordered the Fritters and Island Shrimp. The presentation is FB/IG Post worthy for sure. You know the kind of food that looks so good you don't want to mess it up, but can't wait to taste it? Well the taste and quality was SURE to follow up! The Fritters with Corn + Crab melt in your mouth (no fillers such as an overkill of bread crumbs) and the Island Shrimp was cooked perfectly. Add in the crunch from the Cucumber and eloquently placed Chips topped with a Mango Salsa you can use as the final touch & it was a WINNER for me.

My Co- Worker ordered the Ham & Cheese. I mean how good could a Ham & Cheese be, right? She said it was "Amazing" and even that presentation was thought out w/ a cute "basket" of freshly made fries cooked to perfection.

We also ordered the Cocktails because... Why not?! I had the Disaronno(sp) Sour and she had a drink that was blue.

Our Server was warm, welcoming, and present vs pulling a "Houdini move" like plenty of others, elsewhere, I have encountered. Turns out he was the Owner, MINA!

The Lunch Menu is small, but it is clear he has made the decision to perfect his craft vs offering a plethora of items that leave you disappointed. The price point for the menu items listed above were very reasonable and so worth it. ($38 for 2 Appetizers & a Cocktail.)

Mina, I will be back, very soon! I hope others take the time to stop by to savor your delectable...

After reading all the great reviews about this restaurant, I decided to make a reservation for my wife’s birthday dinner. Firstly, when I made the reservation I mentioned it was her birthday. When we checked in for reservation the host never said Happy Birthday to her; I even saw on it in their reservation book. No biggie. We were seated by the bar. I asked for a table upstairs but was told there weren’t any available. No biggie. Once seated, I went to the restroom and saw two empty tables available upstairs where we wanted to sit. The waiter, X didn’t seem to want to be there. He took our drink order, about 15 minutes later he brings my beer but didn’t bring my wife’s drink. He said the bar was busy. I wait another 15 minutes for my wife’s bourbon, as I’m looking at drink sitting there alone. I decide to go to a manager and complain. A young woman who seemed very stressed said the bar was extremely busy. Ok, whatever. So my wife has a dairy allergy. We told X, as my wife ordered the bronzino. My wife said please put the rissotto on the side, for me to enjoy. X seemed annoyed by this. Anyway, I had the lobster ravioli which wasn’t great; tiny, chopped pieces of lobster meat on ravioli. My wife’s bronzino dish arrived w a cream sauce on her plate. Again, she needs to be dairy free. So she transferred her fish to a empty dry plate. Not good. The Hispanic lady who delivered our dishes was very nice. Anyway, I just wanted to get out there so I asked for the check. X brought the bill, I paid and still tipped him; I shouldn’t have. I wished X a goodnight, he said nothing and walked away. The decor inside looked cheap. How is this restaurant a 4.9 on the reviews...
