    Chimichurri Steak, Beet Salad, Truffle Fries
    Mary N.

    I am so glad I tried this place. I've heard friends say positive things before but it really surprised me how good the place was. You pick and main item and two side items. The had a good variety of selections for the side items. The Chimichurri Steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The beet salad was refreshing. And those Truffle fries were excellent! I was surprised about the generous portions given the price. It was very affordable for high quality food. Semi casual spot. You order at the counter, they give you a numbered placard and then they deliver the food to you. My only complaint is the parking. This is a very busy shopping center with a lot of stores and not enough parking.

    Outside menu- so cool to see all the food options with pictures.
    Ashli M.

    Wow!! Such a cool place to check out. We came here for my mom's birthday dinner and this place did NOT disappoint. So many food options on the menu, the food comes out super fast and taste so fresh and flavorful, and it's plated so beautifully, like a fancy restaurant. The ambiance is super chill and low key, the music is spot on, it's just perfect. And the staff, they are all super friendly, they welcomed us immediately as we walked in. Brooklyn and India deserved to be recognized as they were very friendly and welcoming. There was another staff member staff who brought us out our drinks but we didn't catch her name but she was also super helpful, We used the kiosk to order which is nice too. Definitely stop by and check them out, you'll be so glad you did.

    We had such a great experience when we came over the weekend. Ordering is so simple. You just place your order at the kiosk and that's it. There's plenty of seating inside the restaurant as well as outside on the patio. Our food orders came out relatively quickly. Let me tell you it was all so very delicious. The staff were incredibly sweet. Shoutout to India and Brooklyn!! Highly recommend and can't wait to come back again.

    Beef & Mushroom Braise

    Food: 5 Mics Service: 5 Mics Ambiance: 5 Mics Food: American Fare is served here with lots of choices to hit exactly what you are looking for. Entrees, salads, sandwiches, burgers. I was tempted to try the burger but went the healthy route of a salad with steak. Wife had the beef with mashed potatoes. Service: Awesome! Having hospitality experience, this is what you are looking for. Friendly, patient and can guide you through the menu options. Ambiance: Clean and modern and lots of seating. We went to the Davis location-come thru and eat! You won't regret it! We'll be back for the next few Sundays.

    Grilled Grass Fed Steak Sandwich Classic House Salad
    Diana F.

    This review is based on a catered order. The steak sandwich looked pale and rare, but it was surprisingly tender and tasty. The house salad was ordinary, but the vinaigrette and pickled onions elevated the greens. I would try this place if I'm around.

    Side Caesar Salad
    Wallace T.

    I came here with some friends for brunch on a sunday, and we stayed for a while just talking, which made for a nice experience. We sat in the patio outside. it was nice and quiet considering that's its next to one of the main roads in davis. The service style is the one where you order at the front first, then they give you a table flag and bring the food out to you. You also handle things like water, condiments, and utensils yourself. The roast chicken was pretty decent. Nothing crazy, but good. The caesar salad was good too, and overall the food felt fresh and healthy. The fries were fine, felt like they were battered or at the least seasoned One interesting thing is that they rotate specials through the menu every week encouraging you to try something new Overall, it was a solid experience. Nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about either. The food tasted healthy, and I felt pretty good afterward.

    Grilled Sustainable Salmon
    Kristine M.

    Food: great selection, healthy, portions are just right (the salmon I ordered was moist and not dry at all) Service: food is probably made to order so it takes a while. It's worth it though. Just don't come here in a rush. The servers were nice. Ambiance: there are shared tables and an outdoor patio. I came on a really cold night and didn't want to sit outside. There wasn't enough seating for my party of 4 inside. We had to sit separately during our meal. That's the only disappointing part. Otherwise, I will be back.

    French Fries - not very seasoned at all
    Pinky N.

    We saw this restaurant reviewed on Instagram and we finally made it to eat! It was nice and clean. We walked in and ended up ordering at the kiosk. We are kind of old school so it was nice to have the opportunity to talk to a human even though we know kiosks are the future. Prices are kind of steep, but that's the trend now. The menu is very extensive! I ended up ordering the steak salad and my friend ordered the siren turf plate. I looked at the fries avg they looked so yummy, so I ordered a side of fries. We grabbed our table sign (mine was my HS graduation year) and sat down at a bar-height table with comfy chairs. The restaurant was pretty busy while we were there, but it only took about 10 minutes for our food to arrive. His plate arrived first (Surf 'n Turf) and it looked yummy. We should have put our meals on the same number since my food came out about 5 minutes after his did. He started eating since his was hot and I didn't want it to get cold. My fries came out next and I was disappointed. The images on the kiosk made them look like they would be very well seasoned. It did not look seasoned at all when they arrived. They were nice and hot, but my friend said they tasted "like a potato". Nothing to write home about. I didn't even end up eating too many and I don't often leave food behind! My salad came out and it looked amazing! I ordered the steak well done since it was the only other option. Surprisingly the meat was still very tender and not dry at all. There was a hint of mint in the salad and that was a very refreshing addition. I liked the mango salsa and added crunch of nuts, but I got most of it at the end of the salad. We stayed until 9:30 and at one point the lights dimmed so we took that as our sign it was time to leave. Overall, our meals were good, but I probably won't put this restaurant on a regular rotation. I paid $30 for a salad and fries and I left some fries on the plate. It reminds me of a higher-end Panera. The vibe was nice and I did really like the layout and design, though.

    Chicken curry boat w/ mash potatoes
    Shirley F.

    I was not wanting to cook. Again. Drove to Urban Plates. Checked the outside menu. Chose a chicken bowl. Opted for mashed potatoes instead of rice. Had a nice toast with it. Enjoyed the chicken and curry sauce. Atmosphere is modern Served is pleasant and quick. My meal was delicious. On a Friday night.

    Chicken Cobb Salad to go
    Melissa J.

    Stopped by here on a whim during a road trip. Ordered online to go - the chicken Cobb salad fresh and filling - decent portion size. I would order it again. Some observations: for a chain restaurant, I like that they emphasize no additives or preservatives. There was a large water dispenser with cups available. Very busy, lots of people waiting to order and also seated. I noticed the all gender restroom was clean, spacious, and they even had this cool rubberized mat around the toilet bowl that catches any fluids, rather than it ending up on the floor. It was well stocked and I like that there was a Koala Kare changing station - very family friendly! There are about 3-4 solo restrooms, which is nice for a change (as opposed to multiple stalls). They partner with Plate Pass, a paid membership program which gives you discounts and and dining credit. Overall, happy with the food quality and ambiance. I would definitely return.

    First time coming to this place and I must say I really like it! Met up with some friends here for lunch and the food was delicious! Everything was fresh and looked so colorful! We all enjoyed our food and loved the desserts! We tried the Banana cream pie, mango tart, chocolate cake and hummingbird cake! Highly recommend coming here if you like fresh salads, and good quality food! Good service ! Alexa was helping us out and she was friendly and sweet. She even let us try a cookie and it was a huge cookie! Too bad there's not a location closer to me or I would come more often!

    Sea bass

    This is my new go to stop for low calorie healthy meals. You can easily get a plate that's only 600-1000 calories that still has big flavor. They know how to maximize flavor in their dishes without just adding excess amounts of fat/sugar. Surf and turf: A Shrimp has this delicious garlic butter. Grass fed beef steak is so tender that you eat it with a butter knife. And it's marinated quite nicely as the center of the meat is not bland at all. Sea bass: B This was a to go order and I will say the fish was good. Food definitely is better served hot dining in. For the sides I like the sesame broccoli, seafood chowder, and potatoes.

    Mediterranean bowl
    Floribey D.

    Fast service and nice decor. I highly recommend the Mediterranean bowl, it's delicious and has a great mix of fresh ingredients.

    I've been around Davis long enough to see this building go through 3 different names!…read more We heard that as its current name it had great food so we decided to try it out. We got there right at opening and the server/hostess, Aurora, greeted us with a warm smile and welcome. There are two choices of spots to sit at - low tables/booths or high top tables with stools. We opted for a low table. I ordered the Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese sandwich with sweet potato fries and my friend ordered the Chinichurri Tri-Tip sandwich with a side salad. When our meals came out, we were pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes! I feel like I had a lot of fries on my plate and the sandwich was stuffed with meat! The side salad and tri-tip was pretty hefty too. My sandwich was DELICIOUS! I was only able to eat half so I left with half for lunch the next day. My friend was the same. I love when I can get two meals out of one!! The restaurant carries a very fun vibe. I can imagine it is so lively when it is packed! There is an area in the back that gives off a speakeasy vibe. Overall, awesome restaurant! Great food, awesome service and chill vibe.

    Full disclosure: what kept me coming back was the Portobello Mushroom Fries -- an appetizer that's…read moreno longer on the menu. RIP. That said, there's still plenty worth coming back for. The Cowboy Cuban is the next best thing I've found on the menu and worth ordering. The house dressing is excellent too. The Down the Hatch burger was decent, just didn't have quite enough flavor for my taste -- not a reason to skip the place, but I'd go Cowboy Cuban first. Love coming with the dog when weather permits.

    My daughter brought me here for my birthday, and it was my first time visiting. I can honestly say…read morethis was one of the best dining experience I've ever had. I travel quite a bit for food and family, including trips to Las Vegas, colorado, and Southern California and the service here truly stood out. Danielle R. provided phenomenal service and everyone working on the floor was welcoming, attentive, and professional. Look for the Morgan Wallen look-a-like (missing a lol) The hospitality made my birthday feel extra special. For my entree I ordered the carbonara along with a glass of sangria. My daughter ordered several appetizers including the calamari, fried ravioli, and a mixed green salad with candied walnuts and cranberries. Everything was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be back & I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

He finally arrived and we sat there for another 20 minutes until the waitress decided to come back and take our order. She wasn't the most friendliest, seemed to be a bit irritated and you could hear her nect to the bar talking w the other waiters complaining about customers. Our food took forever to arrive and I could see other people waiting for service also and water which was taking forever. The food finally arrived. The appetizerbruschetta was good, and husband liked his calzone, everything else was mediocre. While we were sitting there still eating, the waitress had the audacity to come by our table and didn't just put down but almost a flung, slid boxes in the middle our table- we all looked at one another, like? That was a turn off, because it wasn't even close to closing time, we were still eating after waiting for the food. So we just left, my fiancé thought that was extremely rude of her, didn't even ask us if we wanted the boxes, just came over and tossed them onto the table. Rude.. I also had asked her for a fork earlier and she reponded with a disgusted face and a (what?) I used the restroom also which wasn't the cleanest. Manager contacted me, very professional and was obviously not content about the outcome and review. She took this seriously, and wanted to get down to the bottom of this and rectify the issue at hand. That made me feel more at ease.
