I went to dinner with a friend at Urban a few weeks back and had a very pleasant experience. I knew they had just opened so I gave a little leeway with the service...it takes time to filter through and create a good group of staff. Although our server was very polite and prompt, she was not as versed with the menu. The food itself was amazing. I had the filet which was cooked to perfection and partnered very well with the port wine reduction sauce it came with. The spinach salad was unlike anything I've ever tried and the service for the pea soup was very unique (poured from a kettle)...both items were fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is modern and sophisticated...I LOVE that this is not a family place. I've started bringing friends up on Mondays for Happy Hour to enjoy the $.35 raw oysters. The bar staff is very knowledgable, friendly and attentive. I like that I no longer have to drive down to the city to experience this style of restaurant and it has become a regular hangout for me and my friends.
Pros: Great food, open late on Fridays
Cons: Location (shopping center)
