The experience at One Door North was very good. Service, food, and the atmosphere were very good for Friday night dinner and drinks with friends. The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich was tasty, so was the mushroom and arugula flatbread.

The service was amazing and the food was even better. We started with the elote cauliflower which was out of this world. My wife had the short rib rigatoni and it was a perfect blend of noodles, sauce, and meat. I had the cast iron half chicken and it was juicy, flavorful, and the charred corn with cheddar grits and broccolini all brought their “A” game. The drinks are tremendous and you can tell that the bartenders take pride in their work. If I had only one negative comment, it would be that the front dining room was really loud. Could have just been the crowd or possibly the acoustics of the room. The back dining room looks like a great place for larger dinner parties with a cool campsite motif. We definitely recommend and will be back!

Nice people. Decent food. Pricey for the level of ambiance. And it was a birthday and we requested a small piece of cake or something to add to the celebration. They charged us $10 for a cookie and scoop of ice cream... really? C'mon, their prices are high enough to absorb something like that. Left a bad taste in my mouth...

The service was very slow. Maybe the young gals serving were new and didn’t know how to clear a table before the next course is served. The Parmesan fries & Rigitoni pasta should have been more temperature hot. Food was cold overall and poor service throughout. Been there plenty times and the menu has been the same for almost 4 years. Will try something new.

Food was great, service was a little slow, but to be expected for Valentines Day. I was hoping for the picturesque seating that you see in the pictures, unfortunately the seating was in a different room, quite cramped and extremely noisy. Not great for a romantic Valentines date
