    Blackened Sustainable Salmon with sesame Broccolini and Rainbow Carrots & Golden Beets
    Sophie F.

    I love Urban Plates! We stopped by here after loving the location in Pleasant Hill, and it wasn't disappointing. The ambiance of this location is great, very earthy, with ample seating. I got the same meal I've loved before: the chicken plate with buffalo sauce, mashed potatoes, and Caesar salad. My mom got the blackened salmon plate with beets and broccolini. She loved it! It was also very affordable, as the two meals we picked were on the chef's specials for the week. Definitely recommend trying this place out for a yummy and fresh lunch!

    This is a great place to invite 2-8 friends at a time. There is no pressure to leave after you have eaten but to just enjoy quality time w/friends or family. It has been a number of years since I last visited & now it is more automated driven. You order at the kiosk then pick a number tag. So it is pretty simple & straightforward. There were only 2 kiosk stations that I noticed so I can imagine peak hours there would be a wait to order. Order: Blackened Sustainable Salmon w/Lemon Aioli sauce- this plate came w/2 sides of your choice & I decided on quinoa plus glazed brussel sprouts. The salmon was grilled perfectly moist & the aioli added the flavor to enhance the fish. My side if quinoa was fluffy & moist as well. The brussel sprouts were soft, but I wish that it had garlic salt instead of the drizzle of sweet sauce. Despite my preferred way of having the brussel sprouts, I still enjoyed every last bite. The food, waiter/waitress/front desk servers were all warm & welcoming which made the visit that much more desirable to dine in. I'll have to visit soon!

    Ordered via their online app for pickup on Father's Day. The app is very user friendly and allows for customization of items. Items ordered: Wild Ahi Niçoise Salad- They changed their dressing from a mustard champagne vinaigrette to a balsamic basil vinaigrette. I didn't try this dressing, as I am not always a fan of balsamic dressing. Otherwise, this is one of my fav places for a fresh and delicious niçoise salad. The ahi tuna is always fresh and it is perfectly seasoned. Chimichurri steak plate- A fav of my friend's. Solid dish & good sized portion. Fresh baked chocolate chip cookie x2- These came fresh out of the oven and were perfection! The crispy edges and warm gooey cookie was amazing! Dee was so wonderful and helpful! I had ordered ahead of time but got two cookies when I saw them and she mentioned that they had just come out of the oven. She greeted me right away and asked if I needed any assistance, so I had to indulge in my sweet tooth. Thanks for the yummy meal & great service Dee!

    And we're back with another amazing review! I ordered the salmon Caesar salad and it didn't disappoint! Also started ordering the passion fruit, coconut, lime refresher and that is also amazing!

    We recently celebrated my mother's 88th at a luncheon here, a few weeks back. It's such a cute spot. So i decided I'd come to try again. As I'd noticed at the luncheon, the menu had changed a bit. So I tried a burger. It came with fries. It was exceptional! And the fries wow! Probably the best I've had in a while. The young man that helped me with my order seemed new. He'd needed help with a few things. I respect that he was so responsive to the training manager. Keep up the good work Aiden. Super kind young man. And thank you Emily. See ya'll soon

    This place is delicious! There are so many options and choices so everyone will find a favorite dish! I got the steak sandwich and the steak was perfectly medium rare. The bread was soft and chewy and I really enjoyed it!

    Grilled Cage Free Chicken Sandwich with fries and soft drink was good

    Came here on Oct 5,2025 during brunch and was really busy. I'm ordered through the kiosk and waited just a bit. Grilled chicken sandwich with fries and a soft drink was a bit pricey for a small sandwich. Overall, food taste was good. Will come to try other things on the menu.

    This is a restaurant where you have to order at the counter, get a number, you grab silverware and condiments from a counter, and your food is brought to your table. I really like the fact that there are so many healthy options here. The tables and chairs are cute. The food is pretty good. They do a really good job of adding flavor to their food with various sauces.

    Healthy food! Delicious food! Also not hecking expensive! But really, this place is awesome. Not only can you customize what you want, they have calorie counts of almost everything so people who are health conscious, this is a good place for that. Weight loss too. I was able to get steak with an extra order of steak, rice, and mushrooms and I'm well under calorie compared to other places for same type of food. My husband got a burger, a side salad, and a draft cola drink. Their drinks are made with real sugar too so none of that additive stuff. Their service is amazing too. So many convenient ways to order from take out online to take out on their kiosk to dine in through kiosk, ordering at the table or their counter. Definitely coming back when we're out this direction.

    We were looking for "healthier" dinner options and found this place. Huge parking lot here, huge interior, plenty of places to sit. There was also a kiosk to order for days we don't want to talk to people lol. This one kinda reminded me of a more upscale chipotle or like Aquis because they also served alcohol. They have the build your meal option where you pick the protein and the sides. I got the fish and my boyfriend got the steak. I really liked the fish (barramundi was it?), nice and flaky, soft , subtle, the sauce compliments it well ( i think it was chimichurri). The sides I got were good, except I didn't care much for the garlic nread, maybe because it was cold. My boyfriend said his steak was bland, I think it would be better with sauce (which he opted out of), and the sides he got were good. Our drinks or aqua frescas were also pretty tasty. Overall good experience, but kinda pricey.

    Meh - yep that's it. Had a party of 5 at approximately 6:25pm on a Tuesday, paid around $150 (excluding a glass of wine that was rung up separately from the meal). For an order at a counter kinda place with no real waiter service, and not everyone ordering a drink - it felt kinda expensive for what we got portion, quality and taste wise. I personally ordered a steak meal that included 2 sides and the person who took my order was zero help in prompting for how the steak should or would be cooked, sauces for the meal being ordered, answering questions (like is the Caesar dressing creamy or vinaigrette type) or if anything else like drinks or desserts were needed. For someone who was new here it would have been helpful. I ended up having to ask for my plate to be cooked more. The food was just ok, and was like it was prepared before and just reheated (or attempted to be reheated since some was undercooked or cold) ate my whole meal since I paid so much and still left hungry. I had apparently been here once many years ago and it was very different back then - even remember walking the line like a cafeteria with hot fresh dishes in front of you to choose from. It was not like that this time. I ordered at a counter and found my own table. Someone came to drop the food from the kitchen and tha was it. No one checked on us or anything. Parking was easy and the location was easy access right off a freeway exit. Definitely not going to return. Sorry I really wanted to like it.

    Beautiful dessert case
    Michaela R.

    I like Urban Plates because there seems to be something for everyone! It has good variety without having an overwhelming menu (like The Cheesecake Factory). The desserts looked amazing (I have yet to try them). I really like the bread they serve sandwiches on it as a side with a salad. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 because they changed my favorite Asian chicken salad to a noodle salad (instead of a green salad) and it's not nearly as good, in my opinion :( The staff at this location was very good (you order & pay at the counter when you first get there and they bring you food out to your table when it ready). So, even though it's not traditional waiter service make sure to give them a tip!

    I used the have the plate pass, just cancelled it since I am not going often enough to be a great value. Service was very good. Ambiance was nice, clean especially the bathroom.

I can't remember all the names, but in the pictures I posted, the yellow drink was the sweetest and didn't really taste like alcohol, so that was our favorite. The espresso martini was great, and the lavender drink I got was really good too. Overall, though, we would all probably pick the yellow drink over the others. The food itself was incredible. I got the corn ravioli pasta, which was sweeter than I expected, but I should have guessed that from the ingredients. It was still delicious. The jambalaya was by far the best dish at the table, though. Absolutely incredible. The Chinese noodles also had an amazing presentation. I've never seen something like that before, and they tasted amazing too.

Oysters on the Half Shell: The oysters were fresh and so delicious. This appetizer came with 3 sauces. Loved the mignonette as it paired well with the sweetness of the oysters. Gem Salad: I didn't know they came in half servings. It was the perfect size for my me and my husband to share. Very good combo of ingredients. The only negative is that the avocado used was not ripe. Poke Tuna Tacos - Well seasoned. These were so good! I liked that they were the perfect size and the fried wonton remained crisp and still held its shape. I ordered the Hugo Spritz but asked for it less sweet. It was perfect!! Delicate yet still sweet.

We all really enjoyed them: Brat summer, Frose (they only had one slushie ready - and it was boozy!), Peach Don't Kill My Vibe, and She's Gone Green. I like that they only had low ABV cocktails and mocktails, although your choices are limited to 1 in each category if you can't have grapefruit for medical reasons. We were tempted by the food but were still full from brunch - I have a feeling that we'll be back for those Duck Fat fries!

Even before our visit, the staff we spoke with on the phone came across as rude and unhelpful. Thankfully, once we were seated, our waitress was very nice, attentive, and probably the best part of the experience. The food, however, was very disappointing. My wife ordered the steak medium-well, but it came out medium-rare, which was frustrating because her requested temperature seemed to have been completely ignored. I ordered the Marin Coast Halibut. The fish lacked seasoning to the point that I had to ask for salt just to give it some flavor. The sauce was also completely cold, which made the dish even less enjoyable. For a restaurant at this price point, I expected much better execution. For dessert, we tried the Milk & Honey. It sounded interesting, but the honeycomb component basically tasted like hardened sugar and was overwhelmingly sweet rather than adding anything special to the dessert. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and our waitress provided good service, but between the difficulty getting a reservation, the unpleasant phone interaction, improperly cooked steak, and disappointing food, I don't understand the high ratings. For the price and reputation, we expected a much better meal. Unfortunately, I don't think we would return.
