urban bar and brasserie

we had a very impressive dinner at urban bar recently with friends, the ability to book via opentable is a very big plus, all restaurants should work with this company. we sat indoors as it was chilly, but there is an outdoor seating area that must be beautiful over summer time. our waitress was very attentive and helpful, thefoodwas very good, its a seasonal menu that changes all the time.

i hate to say this but we were disappointed. thefoodis still wonderful. the problem was the portion size. we had, for our main boar and apple sausages with a buttery mash and an onion gravy. quality was first class, quantity was non existent. we looked at one another when the plates were brought out. not impressed. come on urban. please have a think about portions. it's the 1st time i've left urban and could genuinely have went for a burger somewhere as i was really hungry.

nice setting, relaxed and enjoyable. wonderful food, excellent, attentive service and worth every penny. please try the steak with shitake mushrooms, beautiful

we had the barfoodmenu at lunchtime. could not fault the food, good choice, reasonable prices and quick service. very good !

excellent food, service impeccable.. i have been there on two occasions, once for my birthday and once for another's.

both occasions have been excellent. thefoodwas beautiful, the wine was perfect with the meal and the staff were extremely polite and deserving of good tips.

also, you should check out the bar if you're waiting to be seated or just in general. the cocktails are good!
