urban table

went for mother's day brunch. i enjoyed it more than my company who thought it was just ok. but i was disappointed that the muffins/bread and both our courses all came at the exact same time. so we went from nofoodfor 45 minutes to morefoodthan we could eat before it went cold. overall though the service andfoodwere above average. the grilled donut in the bread basket might have been the best thing we had on the table. i would go back, but i won't go out of my way to do so.

needs som flavor/spice.... cool concept, great décor, good service.foodwas average....on the upper end of cost/value. it was cooked well but lacked flavor...we had the salmon and scallop special. maybe i will try it again, was kind of sad - i expected better.

will return. thefoodwas so delicious! i will be returning soon!

my sister and i went to the fourth of july brunch. we loved our server and thefoodwas excellent. of course we could not resist the grilled donuts and we were not disappointed. we also ordered the tempura artichoke fritters which were delicious and well presented. the fritters came with arugula and pickled tomatoes and an aioli spread. for the entree, i ordered the chorizo short rib breakfast tacos. although this was my first time eating there, i loved the place for its cute decor, creativefoodoptions, excellent bloody mary's, and great service. don't miss it!

food was super good!!. not sure why all the negative comments, we all thought thefoodand service was terrific. went there tonight for our daughter's birhday, five of us. two of us had the short ribs, yummy. my husband had the burger, said it was best he has had. had the meat and cheese platter, deviled eggs and short rib flat bread, all were so good we decided we could come back and have them for dinner. will definitely be back.. our server was wonderful too.

bad experience. not waitresses fault; kitchen was totally overwhelmed. but even when thefooddid come it was under par. shrimp po boy only had three pieces of shrimp in it. burger was served cold. we won't be back.

weird concept, decent food. you order up at the counter, but they keep your tab open until you sit down and have a annoying waterboy try to get your to order drinks/booze. then he finally brings your check, even though you already ordered yourfoodyourself at the counter, and expects you to tip him. i found it rather annoying and odd, because there is no point to him, because he does not take your order.

food is good, had a half turkey sandy and green chille soup, not bad. was annoyed most of the meal by a waterboy that kept asking us to purchase more items, we were obviously on lunch from work, and did not need a beverage we would ask if we wanted one. the concept doesn't makes sense. either take or order like a sit down resturaunt or leave us alone.

excellent friendly place. great variety offoodand friendly atmosphere.espcially like the lemon bar desert bartender, staff and manager make you feel special.
definitely a re-visit location.

poor service; poor management; will not be back. we visited urban spoon on 06/22/2013 for dinner. when we walked in, many tables were available, but the hostess advised us that they were booked for the evening; therefore, we should have made reservations ahead of time. but she told us we could eat at the bar. so we did.

the bartender that served us was a bit in a foul mood. there was a bachelorette party occupying the other side of the bar, and apparently these women should not have been occupying this area according to him--rather, they should have been seated at their reserved tables. while he provided decent service, he routinely opined how awful this group of women were and stated "sorry for the awful (really used a cussword) view".

we got our order fairly fast, ate our food, and i noticed that very few of the tables that were open when we came into the restaurant had been seated. needless to say, we were not very happy, and neither were the other people sitting at the bar with us. we asked to speak to a manager on the way out, and we were told that the tables had been reserved around 5:30pm and the people had not shown up. the problem is, we came in well after 6:00pm.

it doesn't seem like a good policy to hold tables that long for groups that do not show up, let alone allow a large bachelorette party (over 20 women) to wander and crowd the other side of the bar and not use their tables when there are customers who would like to be seated someplace else other than the bar area. management's attitude about the situation was completely flippant, and despite how good thefoodwas, we will not be back. this restaurant is really poorly managed.

i wish i liked it. here's the deal...cool decor but thefoodis oh so average! we like to dine, sitting at the bar with a glass of wine. the bar tender service is not great - usually i have to flag him down to get his attention to place my order. honestly i have given this place several chances to redeem their poor reputation in my book of places i want to frequent (it is in my neighborhood) but everytime, i walk away disappointed - averagefood- poor bar service - over priced for what you get...i am better off making the drive to westport/crossroads where i get to enjoy a cool environment serving greatfoodand great service. so wish op/pv area had a place that can meet my love for great eats!

omnomnomnom.foodis delicious. one of my favorite spots for breakfast. get the mini waffles. with the caramel raspberry sauce. nough said. the baked goodies and desserts are scrumptious too! the flowerless chocolate cake is really good and like nothing i've had before. it's more like a mousse so don't be expecting cake. ha.

the service just keeps getting worse!. we eat at urban table almost weekly because we like their food. but it pains me to go because the service is awful. during sunday brunch we had almost finished ourfoodbefore the server even checked on us. during a weekend evening, the bartender was more worried experimenting with new drinks and serving them to fellow servers. it was a very slow evening and we were 2 of maybe 10 patrons there and we had to wave our glass at the bartender for him to come over. again during a weekday late lunch, the bartender was just okay; not attentive even though we were the only ones at the bar. the staff socialize more with each other than actually work. to the management, i am more than happy to order at the counter and get my own food. i don't see how we should tip for ourfoodbeing brought to us and less than stellar service during the meal. do yourselves a favor and get rid of the staff. we love thefoodbut would rather save the 20% tip for service well deserved. if you really need the servers could you just have whoever trained the servers at brgr to train your servers. now they have good service!


update:
after my review above, i received an email from urban table saying that they were working n the service issues i had pointed out. we have since been back, once for brunch with our kids and another was on a sat. night. the service was excellent. the servers were attentive which made our evening out enjoyable. thank you, thank you! we will be enjoying our weekly visits to urban table even more! my new-found faves are the croque sandwich, and the trio spread. try them!

out with friends. fun place to go and thefoodis very good, menu items are always done just right and their specials are always worth looking at. have eaten here a few times and it has always been good. one of the few places that knows how to serve a medium rare cheeseburger and the sweet potato fries and excellent.

awkward ordering/service. lunch was good, had the garden salad (red peppers & goat cheese were nice) and the turkey sandwich on bagel. sandwich was a little spicy, fyi. lunch menu looks appetizing, decor inside is fitting w/ the theme & "bread & butter concepts look" (see brgr, gram & dun). pricing was no steal but in line w/ the mid-high end pv/corinth crowd i guess. on to my gripe: service. not the level of service, as that was fine, but the awkward frankenstein they try to create during the lunch hour with the counter order, table service thing. it's like they tried to emulate panera, but give you a server. they swipe your card and print a ticket when you order, take it to your table with a number you put on a table post (normal up till now), then the waiter brings your food, asks if you want drink/dessert, and reprints your ticket w/ a tip line. not a dig at the servers at all, they were very polite/professional, but i struggle with tipping when there's nothing to tip for (bring out a plate). to me, tipping is earned for constant service throughout the visit from seating tofoodrecommendations, bringing meals to the table refilling drinks, etc.. 15 seconds of interaction when they bring your plate is difficult to warrant a 15-25% tip, so it makes it terribly awkward on deciding what to do. not sure what they're trying to accomplish with this arrangement but i have to say that it makes me think twice about going back. on one hand i don't want to stiff an 18 year old kid, but i think it dilutes what tipping is about if they just bring a plate that you ordered off a wall above a computer screen., imho.

we ate there with another couple & their infant. awesome atmosphere! creativefoodlike polenta fries! yum! turkey meatloaf sammy was good & the chef's special: fluke lettuce wraps were good & light! salads good & steak sammy!
