With locations dotting the California coastline, Urban Plates is a made-from-scratch eatery with a focus on healthy dishes and great ingredients.
Saad Nadhir and John Zagara opened the first location…
Grass Fed Lamb Osso Bucco was tender and moist. HUGE portion as well. Four Up is always solid when I want a bit of everything. The mushroom stuffing, made with cornbread, was great! Packaged very well and piping hot, even on a busy NYE night where the driver made a couple stops before us.

Never ordered the Grilled BBQ Pork Ribs before and WOW, was he impressed! He's very snooty about his ribs and usually they are dry and covered with horrible sauce... not from Urban Plates! Massive slab of ribs, tender, and topped with tangy/savory BBQ sauce. They were literally falling off the bone! The Four Up was solid, as always. As a vegetarian living with a carnivore, we appreciate the variety of homecooked deliciousness that U.P. offers. The mashed potatoes remind me of my late grandmother, who grew up on a farm and made everything with love...and lots of butter. I also very much enjoy the beets, they aren't hard or overly seasoned. The mushrooms are fresh, not squishy, and seasoned perfectly. The mac and cheese is divine. Just amazing food, as always. We got lemonades as well, and they came packaged nicely, with no spills. A++!

Ordered 3 Thanksgiving dinners and it was fantastic! The turkey was moist and all of the sides (stuffing, mashed potatoes & gravy, cranberry relish, broccoli) were delicious. The portions were huge and left us with enough for leftovers tomorrow. I would definitely order again next year.

The salmon was extremely dry and obviously overcooked. The 2 servings I got of the quinoa with tomato pesto sauce did not have any tomato pesto sauce on it. It was plain and dry. I have had both of these dishes many times before and they were always excellent, especially the salmon, so I'm not sure why this happened. Also, the food here is quite expensive so I expect a higher standard.

This is usually a winner. Great tasting food and reasonal prices. I really like the braised beef & mushrooms in a red wine, brown gravy with mashed potatoes This time someone forgot about the beef there were three little pieces. If this were a restaurant I would send it back not because of the taste, it was delicious but almost no meat.... Where's the Beef?
