avoid this place~!

by sirjk45 at Citysearch

I took my daughter to this rip off on her 21 st. birthday. The service was terrible and there was nobody in the place! At least five waiters and no followup service. It is overpriced and the food is pub grub at an exorbitant price. To be blunt the "food sucked". The bill for four with three drinks at $15.00 a piece was outrageous. As a long time New Yorker, I wish I could have spent my cash in a restaurant where I walked away satisfied. It was an expensive birthday party without any quality! Forget it!

• Pros: none
• Cons: many

Awful Place for Large Group

by KL421 at Citysearch

Had a bday party here. Called in advance to see if there was a cover. They said no, and no bottle service was required. Got there with a group of 6-8, denied at door. Said we had to buy bottle service to get only 4 people in. Tried to seperate and go in seperately, but the front door folks would not have it. Bought bottle, got in. Later than night, when the rest of my party arrived, they were denied entry w/o tipping the door (aka, head of security) money. Ridiculous! Don't go with a big party, once they see that you have more than 3 to your party they will discriminate and suck the money out of you. Not worth it at all. From the looks of the other reviews, management sucks and it seems like they condone this kind of practice. Just beware when you go.

• Pros: Decent music
• Cons: Front Door / Management

The One

You know that feeling when you first set eyes on the love of your life? The feeling that you know she's the one for you. That's how I feel about One Little West 12th St.

Delicious

by eastnyc589 at Citysearch

As much as I love the west village, the meatpacking district has always been a neighborhood I've avoided. My best friend and I decided to eat at ONE before going to galleries in Chelsea and had a wonderful time. The bread was so delicatable and almost melted in our mouths. The waiter advised us to order a couple of entrees and share, so we ordered the sliders and pizza. I expected the entrees to be small but I was stuffed. We also ordered the chocolate cake, and that was incredible too. The wait staff was extremely attentive and friendly.

I highly recommend this restaurant, even though the area is filled with B & T. We went on a Thursday night at around 7 and we had the place to ourselves.

• Pros: amazing food, incredible service

Decent place in Meatpacking District.

by lhf1979 at Citysearch

I went here for a party and had a decent time. I liked the lounge atmosphere in the middle of the room. While quarters are a little tight, having a seating area was helpful. The music was decent but the cramped quarters leave little room for dancing other than bobbing your head to the beats. As for the drinking/eating, I can't comment on the food since I didn't try any. Getting the drinks took a little time to get bartenders attention but service on a busy night was good. The only negative was the coat check. Most coat checks in concert venues/bars take a little time to serve the customers, but I find it hard to believe that it would take a half hour with a line of 15-20 people.

• Pros: Lounge, Music,
• Cons: Selection of Beers, Wine Price, Slow Coat Check

Great bar/lounge scene

by barinderNY at Citysearch

I went to One the other night and had a great time. If you are looking for a bar/lounge atmosphere, it is a great place to go. Beautiful space, nice crowd, and great music. I just bought tickets to the New Years Eve party at One on www.NearCorner. com. It should be a great party.

Decent Night Out

by claire124 at Citysearch

I have never had the food here, but I came for a friends birthday and it was a pretty good time. Fun music to dance to and lots of space to move around in.

fun!

by vanessa16 at Citysearch

I came to ONE for a friend?s birthday and had a great time. The food was tasteful and the staff was kind. Once it turns into a club at night anyone is bound to have a wonderful time. The music is nonstop and the drinks are delicious and reasonably priced. I hope to return here soon, and I highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking for somewhere to go for a good night out.

Awesome Seafood Platter

by aharwell at Citysearch

So I was at One on Friday night with a couple of girls i work with in the neighborhood. We decied to just sit at the bar and order the seafood platter to share. It was amazing and huge for the price. We had a variety of oysters, shrimp, lobster and clams and was perfect after work with some cocktails. My two friends had a nice pino noir and I had the pear martini! it was quiet when we arrived at 5:30pm and then had a really nice scene when we left around 8:00pm. Music was nice and our bartender JJ was great! love it!!

• Pros: Great Seafood and cocktails
• Cons: None

I would rather get a root canal than go here again

by nycjl at Citysearch

This place is pathetic! I went on a Wednesday night with a few friends and the place was completely empty. They were more than willing to serve us over $200 worth of drinks when all of a sudden there were more than 15 people in front of the bar at which point the "manager" (or his 2nd or 3rd cousin I'm guessing) decided we weren't worth servicing any longer and proceded to kick us out of the bar with security in tow. I don't EVER plan on going back and would not recommend this place to anyone
