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…
This was my first time ordering from Urban Plates and I really enjoyed it! I was in the mood for a salad and was delighted to see they have a beet salad (I love beets!). I thought the portion was great. It came with bread and I also ordered a tomato soup on the side for $3. I also ordered two sides, the brussel sprouts and potatoes, which were tasty, but I felt were a little pricey for their portion. I counted 10 potatoes in my container (which was the same size as the soup container), so I didn't feel that or the brussel sprouts were entirely worth the price. I also got a (New) Cantaloupe Pineapple Mango Replenisher which mostly tasted like pineapple, but it was good. Overall, a great place and I'm excited to try some of their other dishes!

Yeah the Cage Free Chicken Club Sandwich and Grilled Grass Fed Steak Sandwich were not great. Tbh, you can get better sandwiches at Naples Rib Company. The Mixed Beet salad is, as always, perfection. The Flourless Chocolate Cake Slice was amazing.

Last time I complained about the price of the sides, but I hadn't realized that they sell sets of the sides separately for a lower overall price. So, this time, I got the Three Up which consisted of three sides. They're the same amount/size as if you were buying them on their own, so I'd say it's worth it to buy it like this. Otherwise, my beet salad was still amazing. I got the seafood soup with it this time which was quite good. I'm also slightly obsessed with the black cherry tarragon soda they have. Overall, fantastic!

The Cobb salad always tastes so fresh, and I love that you can leave the chicken off and it actually deducts from the price! The restaurant is super good if you call ahead and need to make slight changes you cannot make on the app.
Thank you so much to the chef for my incredible onion straws!!!

Unfortunately, we remembered too late why we stopped coming here before ordering again. It had been a long while. This is elementary school cafeteria food at best; bland and quite boring. The Caesar salad was actually quite fresh. Unfortunately, there was only about a quarter cup of lettuce in the entire container. Wasted $14. The braised beef actually had two whole pieces of meat (please read serious sarcasm here), bite size pieces, in the entire portion. The rest was just flavorless sauce. Another massive disappointment! We will not return!
