    The braises are amazing especially the beef and mushroom braise and the the Moroccan chicken braise. Also try the banana cream pie, yummm... Actually all the desserts here are really good.

    Their steak tastes awesome, I would also suggest roasted potatos and mozzarella salad for the sides. Good quality food for its price point.

    I love Urban Plates, but La Jolla in my opinion is the best one in San Diego due to the chefs and service staff even though the one on Del Mar Heights is still really good also

    This place is an absolute gem. Fresh, healthy and delicious! Portions are huge! The employees are so nice, helpful and genuine. We're so lucky we live so close to them!

    Generally excellent food and service. But Thanksgiving was the anomaly. Lines out the door and waits upto 2 hours. When got food home, the dinner was great.

    Great food always and many healthy choices, but I always get behind the group that sends 15 minutes in line and then can't make up their mind what they want to eat. Slow service.

    Cool place, I wasn't much of a fan of the food though. I had caprese salad sandwich and the bread did not taste fresh

    Tasty salad with beef, backed potato but meatballs from season menu were awful for me :too spicy and dry.
