A great experience from beginning to end. We stumbled across this little restaurant tucked away in a shopping center. It's not very large but there was enough room to be comfortable and socially distanced. The pork chop was the best I've ever had. The green beans and tomatoes were unique and different from what I expected. There was a subtle sweetness from the tomatoes and a slight spicy kick from the seasonings and it paired well with the grilled chicken. Everything was fresh and everything was cooked perfectly. Dessert was just as elegant as dinner. The spice cake had the perfect blend of cardamom, Chinese 5 spice, and cinnamon. It was balanced by candied pecans and 2 sauces. The restaurant was clean and the servers were friendly and attentive. Only downside...they will be closing until February.

I've been sharing reviews for awhile now, and I wish I hadn't been so liberal with the 5 stars. It cheapens this place. In a word AMAZING. The food is exceptional. The flavors created by the chef pairing his protein with the sides are on point. They know what they are doing. I had the pork chop, my wife had the chicken. Both were scrumptious. I actually gnawed at the bone...despite being in public. They also offer a steak and fish..tonight it was fresh caught flounder. Very clean, they are dealing with Covid by limiting customers and have outdoor seating. Very friendly and professional staff and a GREAT bar menu. You must visit.

A cozy restaurant with a small carefully curated menu. The orange tea cocktail was refreshing yet flavorful. Rockfish was tender inside with nice seasonings outside. Catfish appetizer was also delicious with hot tender fish inside a nice crunchy crust. It’s a small place so the wait may be long. If you live nearby you may consider putting down your number and return later.

I was so pleasantly surprised! This quaint restaurant had a pleasing atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food. Everyone was attentive even though the place was full. The Chicken, and potatoes were amazing. It may have been the juiciest chicken I've ever eaten. I highly, highly recommend it. I plan to return and try other menu options.

Customer service is fantastic. Carrots with labneh was a beautiful combination of flavors. Pork belly was excellent. And the cheese starter was very tasty. I tried the veggie platter ... 4 adorable little vignettes of vegetables, each deliciously spiced. Great work happening here!

Urban Kitchen deserves all the hype! Not gonna lie, I was a little hesitant to try it out (despite it having been on my radar for a while) since it’s in a strip mall section next to the grocery store. But don’t let that deter you - the food and drink was phenomenal, as was the service. There are not many seats inside so the earlier you go the better, especially since they do not take reservations. Made for an enjoyable socially distanced vibe. I feel if they had curtains or something on the front windows to obscure the parking lot views, it would only make it that much cozier.
