Excellent service! Great food! My daughter and I came at 4:30 because we needed a minute, good meal and a break (7 month old and Nanas been watching him) We were treated so well, kind, attentive and just genuinely good. The food was great and it was easy and fun. Thank you for making this a good experience!

Went there on a date, surprised and disappointed, screaming babies and children in the front. We asked to be moved to a high too across from the bar, started out well until a large family cane to the table next to us with mire babies. It literally felt like chucky cheese. Food and service was good. Won’t ever be coming back. I thought it was more trendy.

My friends and I celebrated my birthday here and had the unique experience of dining in a camp-style tent. Everything was exceptional—the service, the food, and the drinks were all amazing.

Our server was absolutely amazing! He was so accommodating, friendly and took such good, personalized care of our birthday celebration. We had 3 children with us, and he was so good with them - even brought crayons for them. The camping theme was so much fun, and the smore's was the most creative dessert! Again....our server was fantastic! He made the evening extra special.

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!
