One is the 'new kid on the block'; trying to impress by keeping some out, others in and appealing to the masses through their 'best of the best' word of mouth campaign. Went to this 'swank' hideout for the 'in' and was met with service that was disasterous, from the doorman to the servers. At one point, a waitress for our table wouldn't serve us. Truth be known, there was no reason for her 'attitude and pretentious aire'. The last time I checked One was a bar, but the proprieters must only want to keep up their che-che image. I wish them well, but would recommend any of the other lounges in the Meat Packing district before One, which I found to unpleasantly misrepresent it's name. I propose a name change from One to One Hundred, but then they'd have to relocate.
Pros: a nice lounge, people watching
Cons: the service, the service, the service
