Urban Plates is a great spot if you're looking for super healthy food that actually tastes good. Everything feels fresh, well-balanced, and made with quality ingredients. There are plenty of clean options, from lean proteins to fresh veggies and wholesome sides, without sacrificing flavor. The portions are solid, the menu has a lot of variety, and it's easy to find something that fits a healthy lifestyle. Definitely a go-to spot when you want to eat clean and still enjoy your meal. read more

This review is a bit late, but we enjoyed a fabulous Thanksgiving meal, even though by 3PM they had run out of turkey...:-( So I opted for beef... at the very moment the new turkeys were ready... we had just paid when we got the news. One of the chefs, Jahan, was so kind... he canceled my beef dish and replaced it with the turkey supper, which was super delicious. Not only did he go to all that trouble for 1 guest when there was a very long line, he brought our dishes out to us... Really prioritizing guests on an incredibly long day for the staff! So thanks for all your help and a great feast! read more

Most of the times when I visit California, I try to make an effort to eat here at one of many locations. From all the locations I've eaten they are all consistent with the quality. I really do like this place. So many options and great tasting food. Wish we had one in AZ. So when you find yourself in California, try to take the time to eat here. You won't be disappointed. It's a casual sit down place. read more

They brought a chicken club, not what I ordered, I ordered the one with sun dried tomatoes. ALso I can't eat bacon on there.

BIG shout-out to Dalia and Dylan! I've been coming here regularly for dinner with a friend and our pooches, and we always enjoy the food, the ambience and especially the service. Dalia is a sweetheart. Personable, kind, always has a smile, always takes a moment to stop by our table to say hello to all of us, including our doggies, and ask how we're doing. Our doggies love her and so do we! The Chili Glazed Grilled Tofu Bowl is one of my favorite dishes. I especially enjoy it on a cold evening because the food is hot and we're sitting outdoors. One recent cold evening, I ordered it and it was delivered to the table lukewarm, at best. I asked if it could be heated up, and the server removed the plate to take care of it. I was waiting for quite a while and wondered why it would take so long to put the plate in a microwave and heat it up. My friend went inside to see what was happening, and Dylan came out and very kindly explained that they don't have a microwave, and they're making me a new meal. WOW. I didn't expect that! The new plate arrived shortly after that, and it was perfect. Thank you, Dylan! And thank you, Urban Plates, for another great dining experience! read more

Incredibly disappointed with our experience this visit. I ordered a cheeseburger for lunch. Pretty basic. No special instructions. It was received on a cold, hard bun. And the fries were petrified. The tomato on it looked like it had been sliced 3 days ago. The lettuce wilted. One would think that a burger served not even hot couldn't possibly wilt lettuce. Unless of course, it sat on top of that bun hoping to warm it up. The rest of my party wasn't as discriminating. The 3 year old ate her chicken tender. And loved the apple juice. And the other person scorched her palate on Nashville style hot chicken. So taste isn't really a factor for them. I'm going back to my usual Moroccan chicken braise bowl. I won't be back for anything else. read more

Urban Plates is our go to for any week night healthier dinner spot. The only critique we have is that they recently changed the Caesar Salad and it is not as good anymore. We don't love that we have to cut up the large pieces of romaine, we would love if they switched it back to the old recipe. The tomato basil soup is absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for quick, healthy, great service with a variety of options on the menu! read more

Literally everyone was so nice from the cashier to the cleaning lady. The food is PHENOMENAL. You can tell it's all fresh and organic. Highly recommend coming here. The only issue I noticed a lot like I am mean a lot of customers were rude to the employees. I kept apologizing to the employees personally I can't believe they have to deal with that so the vibe was kind of ruin it's ridiculous how some people can treat other human beings.

Quality has gone downhill in a way I cannot describe. The food doesn't taste fresh at all. It was barely warm and tasted stale like it was reheated leftovers. I ordered the banana cream pie (which I used to love) and it also tasted like it had been sitting there a while. The crust was so crumbly and soggy and also fell apart immediately, and the pudding inside of it was such an odd consistency it didn't stick to the banana that was in it. And altogether with what I ordered my meal was $50, which if it had been good I would have been totally ok with that, but it was not. I will never come back here again. read more

Urban plates is the ideal place for a busy family or a date night or a group outing. We have gone with our now two year old twins; since they were 6 weeks old. The staff is so friendly and goes above and beyond. ps the kid meals with organic milk are an amazing deal. I'm a fan of the soup selections, the hot chicken and the burger! I also love that they seasonally change the menu and add new sides. Tbh the place and all the workers feels like a family. The UP pass is a huge flex too. Don't sleep. read more

The ingredients feel ultra fresh and healthy which is a huge plus. They were great about my dairy allergy which is very appreciated. The downside is the amount of food is not a lot. I ordered the Half Turkey Avocado Club Sandwich Boxed Combo which came out to $19.07 for delivery. You get a side salad, a piece of bread, and "half" a sandwich which looked like 1/3rd of a sandwich to me. Without the delivery fees/taxes the box was $14.50. Looking on the website the box would have been $12.50. Regardless of price, was still hungry afterwards which shouldn't be the case when ordering a boxed combo. Maybe call it a "Cali Diet Box"? I could have ordered something bigger and paid even more, but I have a feeling that even if I bought just a full sandwich I would have still been hungry due to the portions. That just might be the price you pay for an Urban Plates meal. I would rather just go to Board n Brew to pay less and get more food that still feels healthy. read more

To me, the food was 3.5 to 4 stars. I ordered the thai and basil soda mocktail which was super refreshing and not too sweet! The spicy tuna and crispy rice was really good! I ordered the harvest bowl ($26) and added 3 oz. of steak for an additional $15. I didn't think that was a good value for roasted veggies and a small portion of steak. Some of the steak was extremely chewy as well. My friend said the hot honey chicken sandwich was good but there was a lot going on. I did take a bite of the molten butter cake while it was hot and fresh (I ordered it to-go) and the caramel really elevated the cake. Five stars for ambiance and service. The vibe here was smart casual. I did enjoy the aesthetic. Service was A+ with Emily. The manager came over a couple of times to make sure we were comfortable which was super sweet! I would definitely return. I really want to visit for brunch one of these days!

My 40th birthday was coming up so we made a reservation. First off, it was on Father's Day so it was super busy. No parking! We went down to golf course to park. They had live music which I love, but music choice was just terrible. It sounded like a rave. When I got to the other side of the patio facing the farm, I thought we would not hear it well. Sadly, you could and the music from the restaurant was also playing ("highway to hell"-not kidding!) it was super over stimulating and uncomfortable to say the least. The music died down eventually, but the sun was in our faces for hours. It was hard to look up and we all had to rotate sides to take turns being blinded. A nice see thru shade would have been so helpful. Our waiter was nice but overly chill. He didn't show much emotion or care that we were there. It also took a long time to order and get food. The restaurant wasn't crazy packed btw, it was the event at the grass that caused no parking. Lastly, the food. We had 3 kiddos but no kids meals available. A spaghetti was offered, but we are gluten free. We had to purchase a $40 tri tip to share. The salad I ordered tasted like salt and arugula only...A few peach pieces here and there and the dressing was some sort of cheese that tasted like saltwater. I'm not a picky eater, but this was disappointing. The tri tips were of good size, but just okay. Potatoes were just okay too. I was given a complementary apple donut dessert (which was kind) but tasted no bueno. The jojos ice cream on top was bomb but the chutney underneath was not good and the donut was dry. Overall, highly disappointed with the vibe, taste, and service! I feel like it's suited best for a couple and to come on a quieter night would have made it a better experience. You have no choice but to sit on patio with a party of 7. Will not return - sadly!! (Our $450 bill was also shocking!) one glass of wine ordered...sigh

On the healthier note, it also has gluten-free crust, cauliflower crust, and healthful power bowls which are awesome additions in the pizza world. I highly recommend this location to the Yelp Community :-)

My husband had the union burger with truffle fries. He said was good. I was too distracted by my dinner to try. "Brunch" on the other hand, was a little disappointing. Hoping it was just a limited menu because it was Father's Day but food was mediocre. Service here is great. Not overly attentive but very great recommendations.

The tortillas that they use for the tacos are good as well. Whether you are gluten-free, vegan, trying to eat healthier, or simply accompanying a friend, Nectarine Grove has something for everyone!

You are first greeted with a campfire smell as soon as you reach the entrance, and indoor the cooks and the staff along with the seating build on this ambience. This the campfire food, we ordered the broccoli in-house specialty which was truly great and filling alone for 4 people. We also ordered the Ribeye, with the $18 side of gratin potatoes which were great and campfire style. We also had the fish of the day which I recommend skipping. The staff went over and beyond with the service. If we ever come back, we would not get the ribeye and fish again though. Will likely get the broccoli again and try the chicken "campfire style".

They had other really interesting sounding mocktails too, like there was actually thought put into a drink that didn't contain alcohol. I was visiting Carlsbad for the first time and wanted to check out as many restaurants as I could in my short time here so I just ordered something small to get the experience of this place. I chose the crudo: yellowtail, amarillo, charred tomato and guava. The dish was gorgeous, stunning, beautiful and tasted divine. Presentation so on point, flavors, freshness, just so yum. The bartender was so great as well, we made small talk and he told me that if I was into non-alcoholic drinks and fish that I should check out Jeune et Jolie next so I did just that. Appreciated the friendly conversation, great atmosphere and stellar food and drink. Will definitely come back here next time I have an opportunity to visit.

We chose this spot also for the queso that comes with the complimentary chips and salsa. So tasty and not too spicy--like a fresher/?healthier/whiter version of nacho cheese. Mango margarita 4.5/5 (with tajin rim) was enjoyable. Strawberry margarita (blended, virgin) 3/5 was good, but reminded me of candy, so probably just not for me. Trio burrito was outstanding. Loved the sourness of the green salsa over the carnitas, the carne asada with red salsa, and even the shrimp burrito (I don't usually love shrimp!). It tasted lighter than typical Mexican food. Portion was impressive, and it came with a side plate of rice and beans. Chile relleno was 3+/5 imo but my fiance enjoyed it as one of the better ones he has had. To me, it just paled in comparison to the burritos :)). Overall high quality, nice-ish (not too fancy) dinner spot for groups and more!
