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…
The Beets + Avocado Plant Based Bowl was a treasure trove of flavor and textures that dazzled the tastebuds in majestic ways. Hugely satisfying serving size too. My only gripe is the slice of Chocolate Vanilla Layer Cake that appears to have been hit with the inflation wand. Used to be twice what it is now.

The seafood chowder is inedible. Vegetables are hard and uncooked. Seafood is unidentifiable. Braised beef has two small pieces of beef. Horribly overpriced and truly awful. The bread is cold and hard. Should refund - I'm throwing it out $75 later.

I've ordered this Wild Ahi Niçoise Salad many times and it's been delicious. This time it was awful. Tuna was tough, three pieces of tomato, a couple of pieces of green beans and tomatoes and a ton of lettuce. Very disappointing.

The Chimichurri Grass Fed Steak Plate is getting smaller by the day. Is it because of inflation? If you want to charge almost $23 dollars for a plate of food please be more generous on your food portions. I got a small portion of steak and some of it eas burnt. This is unacceptable.

Overall, the dishes taste good except that the rice, beef stew, & seafood soup are on the salty side. The Braised Beef & Mushrooms lacks meat & mushroom... too saucy, soupy. Should have more meat & mushrooms in the Braised Beef & Mushrooms, must have less sauce ... not to be soupy.
