    Great night with friends. Waitress was terrific. (Didn’t get her name) Enjoyed all our food and drink with exception of broccoli (it was roasted but dry and overcooked ), which was bitter. Mashed potatoes were an unusual consistency too. Fish was very good and others in our party agreed.

    We had a lovely evening with family. Sat at a round table in the back. Noise was very low, the food was very good. The service was excellent. Arcely was our server, we also had her as a server two weeks ago, she is excellent. Very pleasant, informative and professional. I highly recommend One Bistro for any occasion. Menu is versatile.

    My SO and I sat at the bar; refreshed on great draught beers, attentive service and a very friendly staff. Our appetizer (shrimp) was delicious and dinners were equally delicious. I had the margarita pizza and she had spicy chicken salad. Both were delicious. The vibe in the restaurant is really great; excellent bar setup and easy parking…we’ll be back!
