I have been here twice. My first time was for New Year’s Eve 2022. Had a great time, ate great food, service was amazing and my sister and I even met Tank there. I double back for their lamb stew and it was foul tasting. Definitely not the same recipe as the year before. The service was even subpar. There may have been a new chef, or so I heard. But, it definitely wasn’t what I was expecting.

I have been wanting to visit Miami to go to Peter’s restaurant for years. I finally made it there in January for my spouse and my birthday.. We got dressed up, like suit and tie dressed up. At 9:00pm we arrived at Bar One to a deserted restaurant. Yes, it was closed. The main focal point of not only our trip from Pennsylvania to Miami but also our birthdays ruined. Very disappointing.

The location is decent it's always nice to have dinner by the water. Once my husband and I arrived, we waited for thirty-five minutes after being seated for a waitress to come and greet us.Let me just say we visited on a Tuesday night, and there were only 2 waitresses on staff. When we first arrived there, it was fairly empty, so it should not have taken that long.After waiting for another 40 minutes, we were able to order our food. We ordered our appetizers and food together because of waiting so long. I asked the waitress if the appetizers could come out before the food, and she said yes.Later, a crowd started to gather, so the wait got worse. My husband and I ordered drinks, which took another 30 minutes, and my husband never received his.About an hour and a half later, the food came out all together, and yes, it was cold. We later found out that only one person was cooking.The thing that got me was that Peter was at his establishment, and upon his arrival, he thought it was okay to drink and mingle with his friends as his waitstaff struggled to stay afloat.He must have finally realized they were going under because 30 minutes later, he decided to lend a helping hand and clear some tables and bring out some orders.After which, he went back to getting wasted. Once we finished our dinner and the receipt was provided, there were items in there that we didn't receive. After speaking with the manager, she removed the items and charged me half price for the cold mediocre jerk wings that I had.After arriving back at the hotel, my husband realized that I was charged twice for one drink...smh. I reached out to the restaurant to speak with the manager to no avail. I was told she would contact me within 24 hours it has been 4 days, and I have returned home.The Mac and Cheese was good. The spinach was high blood pressure salty. The grouper bites were decent.The food to me was very mediocre. I would give them a second chance because I am fair, and I like to give people a chance to redeem themselves. This visit for me was very disappointing. If I had to recommend, based on this experience, I would NOT!

Just awful! Will never return again… I made a reservation for brunch for 3 last week. You knew that you did NOT have alcohol and did not inform me prior to. Upon arrival, I was still not informed of the lack of alcohol. Had we known, we would not have stayed to dine. We were only informed by the waitress after we, my friends (their 1st visit), attempted to place an order for cocktails! We were highly disappointed. Since we each paid $10 to park, we decided to stay. That was the Biggest mistake we made. One friend ordered the oxtails & grits, that was fine, well the oxtail portion of it was. The other ordered lamb chops and waffles, & that was beyond distasteful to say the least. It was cooked over well done when she wanted medium. The airhead waitress said that, “only steak is prepared medium”, that made no sense. Additionally, the lambchops were extremely salty! The bill, sans alcohol, after the chops were removed was $100 dollars! Mind you, I had overpriced chicken wings & a side of asparagus!! Of course they added an astronomical service fee. After paying, we ran out of there! Right next door is a cute little place call 100x305 Cocina con Raices, splendid experience, the ambiance is amazing, the food, drinks, & dessert was really good & they have live music!! Really, really wish we had gone there instead of wasting our time and money at Bar One. Never AGAIN!

I was in town for my birthday over NYE Weekend. I booked a reservation and received confirmation a few days before and again the day of my birthday. We arrived to the restaurant that night at 7pm and THE PLACE WAS CLOSED! How do you confirm with me the day of via but be closed without calling me? I could say so much more but I’m good!Thank you to STK for accommodating me at the very last minute on my birthday.

RUN FAR AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.It has been almost 2 months with no response from this restaurant for a refund they offered.Birthday dinner was horrific without a single guest in the restaurant and the manager just sat at the bar.I am mortified!
I go every year for my birthday. Food is delicious and Peter Thomas makes each diner feel very welcomed.Vegetarian options: I loved it. Large selectionDietary restrictions: I am allergic to shellfish and they were accommodatingParking: In the building there was valet parkingKid-friendliness: We had children and it was a great atmosphere

My long-awaited visit to Bar One Miami turned out to be a major disappointment. The atmosphere, location, and staff were nice. However, an obvious slow Thursday night with approximately 5 guests dining on the patio, the kitchen staff was slow, and our order was incorrect when it arrived at the table. Items were missing, and someone with a shellfish allergy was served shrimp as a garnish on his plate. I ended up not eating due to my food being cold by the time the other orders arrived at the table. I've always wanted to visit, but not certain this experience warrants a return.

Was there for birthday celebration. We was told VIP had minimum $100 per person. While in VIP we was told we had to move because it was Peter, the owner’s section. By the way he never came to the section. He set at the bar for 3 hours. For the service: we ordered our food and was forgotten about for 2 hours VIP right? Our order was never put in. They offered to take drinks off the bill. For the food: once my oxtails came they were cold like they just came out the freezer and was put in the microwave. I don’t know what was going on with the oxtails because later that night I was up all night sick to my stomach! The other meal that came out was literally a entirely different entree then what she ordered. Will I go again: NEVER.
