    So delicious and fresh! We ordered the Caesar wrap and the Urban Superfood salad. If you're looking for fresh, healthy foods this is it! Everything was amazing and the portions were big. There was lots of seating and you can order at the register or directly on the table using the QR code. Shout out to Francisco for the great customer service. Overall, 10/10 I'll get the Caesar wrap again!

    Grilled Grass Fed Steak
    Nicole L.

    Love love love Urban Plates. So simple yet DELICIOUS. My boyfriend and I come every once in a while and it hits every single time. We always ordered the truffle fries with truffle aioli -- SO flavorful every time. I ordered the blackened salmon with cauliflower and garlic mushrooms. My boyfie ordered the steak with truffle fries and roasted Brussels sprouts. We never feel guilty eating here since it's somewhat healthy :) We will be back soon!

    Inside

    I love UP, even though it had been ages since I'd eaten here. Today I ordered some food to go. I usually order everything online, but decided to actually order at the restaurant this time. Ordering was quick and easy at the counter, and I waited about 5 min for my order. Inside it's very spacious, and there is plenty of seating in the patio area as well. Parking is easy to find, if you drive around to the front of the restaurant there is plenty of it. I ordered the grass fed beef steak, with the beet and goat cheese salad, and brussel sprouts. Absolutely delicious and top quality ingredients.

    Mac & cheese, chicken, Brussel sprouts & potatoes.

    Bomb food. Clean atmosphere. Many options to choose from and I recommend getting their annual "plate pass" which grants 20% discount on meals. Its definitely worth the membership, especially if you like to eat clean or treat yourself to food that isn't dipped in Crisco. Last but not least. The service is AMAZING! Jay ALWAYS has a smile when he greets you & goes the extra mile to please you offering us samples to try before we buy. Don't neglect to stop by and say hi!

    Grilled Sustainable Salmon
    Stella W.

    food: salmon with asparagus and Brussel sprouts with truffle aioli. 6/10 meal. salmon was salmon, nothing special. the Brussel sprouts were flavorful. truffle aioli was more like butter with truffle. felt heavy. the price for this plate being around $23-25 is not worth it. the salmon was so small. service: nice service ambiance: rustic urban feel. inside and outdoor seating.

    VERY TINY 4oz piece of OVERCOOKED & CRUNCHY salmon. Huge portion of both veggies!

    LOCATION (3/5): If you haven't been here before the front door is hard to fine. It's on the VERY BACK SIDE of the plaza, furthest away from everything. Park on that side, or you'll just end up walking around. PARKING (4/5): This plaza does get busy because of the Whole Foods, BUT... this restaurant is on the far side so you'll usually always find parking. SERVICE (5/5): This is an order at the register and seat yourself place. You'll get a number and they'll bring out your food in record time (since I believe everything is pre-made)! They also buss your table insanely quick. Keep it up! FOOD (4/5): $22 STEAK W/ CHIMICHURRI: I don't come here often, but I do like their steak with Chimichurri sauce! I tried it with the Mac & Cheese & and side salad. The sides are a good portion! OVERALL (4/5): If I want a super quick bite to eat and a healthy option I'll swing by here!

    Raw Grilled Steak

    Came during lunch time at 11:30, which should be prime time for good food. There were two of us. Both ordered steak plate (one with mash potatoes and Brussels, the other with mash and Mac and cheese). We also ordered a side of fries. The sides. We're stone cold. The mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese both were very cold upon arrival. The brussel sprouts had been cooked to the point of being slimy, and were also cold. The fries were great. Glad I ordered something edible The steak was almost raw for about half of the pieces. And of course.. cold

    Grass Fed Lamb Osso Bucco
    Alex C.

    We had a great lunch celebrating my cousin Tracy's birthday at Urban Plates. They have a new edition to the menu, Osso Bucco with mashed potatoes, sauce and toast point. I ordered Harissa Cauliflower as a veggie side dish. I really enjoy the menu and portions at Urban Plates as opposed to some competitors. The portions and food options go beyond sandwiches, salads and soup. Many people enjoy the side dishes so much that they order 3 or 4 side dishes as a main meal. The lemonade is not overly sweet as well, and tastes like real lemon juice. I feel like the offerings are organic and healthier options. We enjoyed our meals without guilt. The food is moderately priced, they have ample seating and a parking lot shared with other businesses in the center. The staff are friendly, accommodating and helpful.

    Chicken Caesar wrap!

    Food was high quality, service from Jay was even better. My gf has a gluten allergy and he was very attentive to her needs, ensuring the kitchen took extra care to work around her allergies 10/10. Thank you Jay, it really made the ambiance and comfort exceed all expectations. Definitely deserves special recognition.

    The place looks delicious!!! But aren't looks also deceiving? I didn't eat the steak! I survived it ! Unchewable! Hummus was good and the pita bread fantastic but that's it. The desserts looked so promising specially their famous Hummingbird cake which I tried! Delicious! Very similar than carrot cake from Porto's not better but close. The bad thing? The expiration day! How come? They gave me a cake that expired the same day. The audacity. Very disappointing Service alright.

    Is the beef halal?

    Hi Sanela, Urban Plates does serve and prepare Halal Grass Fed Steak imported from New Zealand Australia and Halal Grass Fed Chicken by Wayne Farms. Any other questions, please call the store and speak with the chef managers for additional questions.

    Can we come in, find a table, then order online and have them bring it to us? In other words, not waiting in the line.

    Think the answer is yes. The have a scan sticker on the table that I believe takes you straight to the order menu.

    Do you take reservations?

    No they don't. But I have always found a table.

    Can I order on line and sit down?

    yes

    Do you creekstone beef?

    This is a Mixed Martial Arts facility not a food location. Thank you.

The Spam fried rice was incredible, paired with the traditional hamburger patty, gravy and fried egg. I even loved the addition of spinach--it almost made me feel like I was eating healthy! They also offer a beautiful dinner menu Thursday through Saturday, plus a full bar, which makes it a great place for both casual meals and date nights. My only gripe is that they're not open for dinner on Tuesdays and Wednesdays because I'd definitely be there more often. If you haven't tried Our Nest yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. Let's support local businesses that are doing it.

    Horrible experience and extremely poor customer service…read more On Father's Day, my husband wanted to try this restaurant for the first time. Unfortunately, it turned into one of the worst dining experiences we've had. We were seated on the patio and waited for 15 minutes without a single employee approaching our table. Not one server, host, or staff member stopped by to acknowledge us, offer water, or even let us know someone would be with us shortly. We actually timed it from the moment we sat down until the moment we left. What made the situation even more frustrating was that we were seated in the middle of the patio in plain sight. We watched multiple servers and staff members standing around the service station, chatting, sipping drinks, and looking around. Meanwhile, guests who were seated after us had their orders taken, received water, and were even served appetizers before anyone acknowledged our existence. For a restaurant charging premium prices, this level of service is completely unacceptable. On Father's Day of all days, when families are trying to enjoy a special meal together, the lack of attention and basic hospitality was astonishing. After 15 minutes, with my husband and son both hungry and frustrated, I walked up to what appeared to be the manager or owner and informed her that we were leaving because no one had come to our table. Her response was that she "wasn't aware." Frankly, that's not an acceptable answer. If you're managing or owning a restaurant, knowing whether your guests are being taken care of is part of the job. I have traveled extensively throughout the United States and internationally, dining at everything from small local establishments to high-end restaurants around the world. Out of the countless places I have visited, this experience easily ranks among my top 20 worst restaurant experiences. Not because the food was bad--we never even had the opportunity to order--but because the complete lack of service and awareness was that shocking. To make matters worse, after leaving, we went to North Italia. Within a few minutes of being seated, a server greeted us, acknowledged the Father's Day rush, offered us bread, and genuinely seemed concerned when we explained what had just happened. That simple act of hospitality immediately changed the tone of our afternoon. That is how a restaurant should be operated. That is what good management, training, and customer service look like. You make guests feel welcome, valued, and taken care of--even on one of the busiest dining days of the year. This restaurant, unfortunately, did the exact opposite. We left disappointed, hungry, and genuinely stunned by how poorly the situation was handled. Will we return? Absolutely not. There are far too many restaurants that appreciate their customers and understand the basics of hospitality for us to ever give this place another chance.

While my kids ordered off the menu, my husband and I enjoyed the Mat Hatter Tea experience. My kids got the short rib pasta, the biscuits & gravy, and Italian Baked eggs, they enjoyed all of it! And of course I had to steal some of my son's baked eggs since I loved them so much from my last visit. The Mad Hatter's tea is not a traditional tea, but it was fun and different. It was reasonably priced and came with a glass of sparkling wine that you can enhance with a blue liquid (I believe it's a butterfly tea syrup) to change the color into a beautiful purple hue. The tea served is Tea Forte tea bags, rather than loose leaf teas. They do have the typical tea sandwiches, but there are also additional savory items like a cheese pinwheel and a cheese skewer. In addition to the scone and biscuit, they also had danishes and fruit. Wish they had cream for the scones, but they had jam and butter. Loved seeing all the groups dressed up for their tea parties in their fancy hats and having a great time.

The pretzel was soft, and out of the three dipping sauces, the honey was surprisingly our favorite. The cheese sauce was a little odd. For the wings, we would have loved to get two flavors, but they only toss the wings in one flavor. If you choose a second flavor, half of the wings are served plain with the sauce on the side.

    SHORT VERSION: Overall had a great date night dinner for 2…read moreexperience at this French Asian fusion restaurant. The ingredients, textures, and flavors were all paired very nicely in each dish we tried. The presentation of every dish we had was immaculate and really elevated the experience (see pics/videos). LONG VERSION: We started with a few slices of French bread that came out fresh from the oven - it had an amazing crust on the outside and was unbelievably melty warm and soft on the inside. I kept asking for more pieces and wish I could have just ordered an entire loaf of it if I'm honest! The presentation of the Hamachi crudo salad was like a piece of art - the dish matched the presentation and the yuzu flavor was unique and refreshing. The shrimp macaron starter was very tasty and the green sauce to dip in had a great spicy kick to it. The Spanish garlic shrimp appetizer was a good size portion that we shared. It came out hot and sizzling on the plate - the shrimp was succulent and the tomatoes and garlic pieces were terrific. For the main dish, we split the uni (sea urchin) pasta. The pasta was home made and delicious. I have never had uni before and it was cool to try a unique and novel flavor but this might not be for everyone (it had somewhat of a bitterness that reminded me of the acquired taste of an olive). The sauce was definitely butter heavy and it evened out the strong flavor of the uni - I found the dish was delicious overall but it is pricey so just make sure you're aware and open minded before you order this. For dessert, we split the chocolate cake/soufflé and this one literally took my breath away and had me rolling my eyes into the back of my head. It was made to order so we had to wait for it to bake, but when it came out, the warmth and quality of the melted chocolate inside was exquisite and the proportions of cake to chocolate to ice cream was absolutely perfect (see video). We don't go out to nice fancy/French restaurants very often, and I'm so glad we indulged with this - it ended the evening in a truly special way. Restaurant ambiance was casual but elegant. Our service was fantastic - we don't eat meat or alcohol and our server helped us navigate the menu to find some great options. Overall, we are grateful for a lovely meal and would recommend anyone else to give it a try if you're looking for a unique and flavorful dining experience.

    Came for a girls lunch date earlier to this weekend and this spot did not disappoint!…read more THE SERVICE: 5/5 - Quick, friendly, accommodating, and our waiter made a real effort to engage in conversation with us. The FOOD: 4.5/5 | Drinks: 5/5 Off the appetizers, we had the pork belly bites and dirty fries! First dish came with a long hot pepper, several mini tortillas, and 2 dipping sauces. The pork was crunchy on the outside and soft+succulent on the inside. I can see myself doubling up on this appetizer the next time I come. Dirty fries were great; it came with a generous amount of pickled onions - providing a really nice contrast to the savoriness of our meal. Our waiter graciously accommodated our request to have the egg on the side. Off the entrée/taco menu, my friend ordered the Korean tacos and I got the Ensenada (fish) tacos. But you can also order the Ensenada tacos with shrimp. These were delicious, I would have loved a little more lime crema to go with the fish - but not a big deal. I got a Watermelon Margarita. I wasn't expecting it to be HUGE, but it was the perfect amount considering how much food we as a pair ordered. My friend ordered the La Toxica table side cocktail and one additional mango cocktail. Table side cocktail was a whole show and my friend really enjoyed it. We had a great lunch at Tempo Cantina. I can't wait to try more of their bar menu, maybe even at night when the restaurant is lively
