    Salmon Bowl
    Miguel A.

    Urban Café is amazing! The Santa Maria BBQ chicken sandwich was smoky and flavorful, and the salmon bowl was fresh and delicious. Great food!

    I love love looooovvvveee Urbane Cafe. My Cilantro Chicken Salad is always on point! I also really love how fresh everything in. Now my favorite location is the Downtown one. They're always so friendly and welcoming . I feel this location isn't as welcoming unfortunately. I wasn't greeted and checked in on as in the other Urbanes I have been to. This location had a reno not long ago. It has a modern clean look . Which I love! Seating indoors and outside. Another thing I didn't love was that they pre prep the plates with salad on the side and they're just sitting there in the open. I know it's a means to provide speedy service but I enjoy my greens cold. Will forever be in Urbane Cafe fan. I go often but I do have my favorite location in Downtown Ventura.

    I don't come here often and I ask myself why everytime! My FAVORITE dish to order is the Steak Chimichurri! It's delicious EVERY TIME! And Ib really like how fast they have the food ready because usually I'm hangry if I'm buying food out and about. Try it! You will love it!

    About a year ago I was standing in line here with my wife and I got into trouble because I don't know when to keep my damn mouth shut. I should be used to it, it happens all the time. I made what I thought was a fairly innocuous statement based on my observations during previous visits. I said, this is a woman's restaurant. My wife looked at me sideways and said what does that mean? She's a much bigger fan of Urbane Cafe than I am, and immediately I knew was stepping on her toes with my comment. I said look around, the place is busy, all the tables are taken, and there's only me and one other guy in the whole place. She said, so? I probably should have paid attention to the big flashing signs saying Trouble Ahead and looked for a conversational offramp, but I foolishly kept talking. It's this way every time, I explained. You rarely see men in here. And when you do, they're nearly always with a woman. It's super rare to see two or more men eating together here like at a normal restaurant. Soon as I said that last part I could tell by the expression on my wife's face I had gone way too far. Normal restaurant? So this isn't a normal restaurant!? You don't like this place? You want to go somewhere else? No, it's cool, I like this place, I truthfully replied. I'm just pointing out that it's a very woman friendly place. I was scrambling desperately to do Damage Control. I think it's great, I continued, for women to have a place where they can get salads and healthy sandwiches. I guess that sounded a little condescending or patronizing, or both, I don't know. But I knew it was time to shut up about it when she rolled her eyes. So I shut up. Lol. That was a year or more ago. Today I placed an online order for pick up. I love ordering ahead online and having the order ready when I get there. They were super busy, with a line almost out the front door, but because I had prepaid online I was able to walk right in, find my order and be on my way. I've found that my order is almost always ready before the time promised here. Usually by 5-10 minutes. That's good to know if you want to get ahold of your food while it's still warm. When I got home my wife asked me, was it all women inside? It's been a year since I made those ill-advised comments but she hasn't forgotten. Women never forget anything, especially ill-advised comments. I pretended I had no idea why she was asking and said, huh? All women? I just shrugged and said don't know, I didn't notice. But it was in fact almost entirely women inside. Lol. Just to be clear, I love the sandwiches here. Today I had a UC Banh Mi and it was freaking great! I usually alternate between that sandwich and the Turkey Cranberry Brie. Both are Fire. I've had their Ahi Tuna salad a few times too, and I loved it every time. When I eat here I feel like I'm eating healthy, but not like I'm eating health food, if you know what I mean. I think Urbane Cafe is kind of unique that way. I see it as a compliment to say it's a woman's restaurant. Based on my observations, it seems clear to me that most women are far more careful about what they eat than men. Not all women, of course. Plenty of women like unhealthy food too. But if you ask a man where to go for a healthy meal, you're likely to get a blank stare as a response. If you ask a woman, she'll likely say, Urbane Cafe. Mikey C says: I think I'll just quit talking right here.

The restaurant is on the smaller side & fills up rather quickly, often reaching a full house, so going earlier in the day is the best way to fully enjoy both the food & the experience.

The lunch special came with a small egg roll and mild side salad (not too much dressing, which was perfect). I just wish there were more egg rolls to come with it lol! It was a great deal for $16 and we had food to take home since the portions were large. We ordered the Pad Thai with chicken, and the Thai Fried Rice with pork. Both were spectacular! I will say the Pad Thai was a bit on the sweeter side however--just keep that in mind for taste preference. It's this reason that the fried rice was both of our favorite dishes, as its savory umami flavor paired so well with the pork. I could've eaten an entire plate by myself! Service took a bit long to get our food, but they were very kind nonetheless. We will be returning, and we can't wait to try other dishes like their soups and curry!

The rice bowl was also so delicious. To go along with my meal, I ordered Thai boba tea, and I loved it! The portions are generous, so we had leftovers, which we were happy about!

It seemed to take a while till someone brought us water and another little while till our orders were finally taken. We requested two Thai iced teas which were quite delicious with coconut milk subbed for the cows milk. We told the server we would be sharing our orders. We shared a vegan hot pot and a Pad See Ew with chicken. The hot pot consisted of broccoli, shredded cabbage, carrots, steamed tofu, corn, udon noodles, two vegan dumplings, sliced squash, spinach and baby bok choy. Veggies were tender crisp although the broth was rather bland. The Pad See Ew was a bit disappointing. While the sauce was tasty, the broccoli and carrots tender crisp, the chicken was not only dry but quite tough and chewy. I must add, as were sharing these dishes, the server neglected to bring additional plates and a serving ladle for the soup. So my hubby had to go inside find someone and request the serving utensils for both dishes, plates and eating utensils for sharing. So we waited again. Not sure what folks ate that gave a five star review . What we experienced fell a couple notches below that rating. Would I return? Probably not, there are better options in Ventura.

You've really gotta try the Strawbanero (Strawberry-Habanero) sauce, as it was a sweet and savory bite that had all three of us fighting over. * Buffalo Barrels (aka Tater Tots) were worth the $5 upgrade. But, I'm somewhat of a Tater Tot junkie, so take that advice for what it's worth. * Fries were fantastic, as well. * Short Rib Melt was delicious, but very, very rich.

The blueberry margarita and limoncello beverages were my two drinks of choice, recommended by our lovely waitress Bethany. I liked my drinks a little sweet and girly and both fit that vibe. Shared some oysters with the wife and some crab cakes, they all hit the spot and were solid appetizers to start with. I also got a cup of clam chowder before my main meal. One of the better clam chowders I've had to date. Nice and creamy, fresh and satisfying, it almost had me wishing I ordered a bowl instead. My wife tried mine too and had to order her own right after. The lobster roll with some fries was my main course. So good! The bun was lightly toasted and crisp and the lobster was just sweet and buttery without being too heavy. Very satisfying. And then finally I had to wrap things up with a dessert. Their strawberry basque cheesecake was the easy choice for me. This is the kind of dessert where everyone says they're just going to have a bite and suddenly half of it is gone. I'm glad I split it because I could have easily indulged and eaten the whole thing on my own if the temptation was there. And again, service was excellent. It wasn't particularly busy when we were there. The drinks came in a little slow because there was only one bartender and the bar was busy but otherwise, our waitress checked in on us a healthy amount of times to see if we needed anything or to refill our waters. We sat outside so nice ambiance too. We went to three restaurants while visiting this area and this was the only one I really felt compelled to write a review for. Certainly recommend it.
