Shrimp & grits is creamy goodness. Biscuits may have been better piping hot. They were served lukewarm. Easy reservation thru OT app. Excellent service. Great tasting natural ingredients.

Love! Sat at the bar, great cocktails, great service! Has a New Orleans feel. The food was wonderful! We had the charcuterie/cheese board (they have sheep and goat cheeses!)

Delicious small plates, cocktails. We had chicken n duck liver pate, roasted carrots, tomatoes+burrata, fried oysters, sweetbreads, mac n cheese for one of the kids. Delicious!

We enjoy the relaxed vibe of Urban Solace. We keep going back because the menu is relevant, seasonal and delicious. Their cocktail selection is excellent and the pricing is fair!

Great food, service, neighborhood feel. Everything was terrific hamburgers, chicken & dumplings, cheese sandwich, cappachino, key lime pie. Only negative was dirty rag smell near entrance/bar.

Start with the cinnamon rolls and a bucket of biscuits with butter and jam. Then order anything on the brunch menu that contains the word "poached eggs" - won't disappoint.

Great for date night. New Orleans inspired menu. Great cocktails. Stormy ginger👍. Catch the seafood. (Scallops pictured).

A study in complexity and balance, every single thing I had a surprising number of layers that more surprisingly showcased each ingredient without getting lost and to me, that makes great food.

So delicious. Love the cheddar chive biscuits, blossom squash, beef cheek polenta, and duckaroni. Do family style and share!
Vitamin YiFebruary 15, 2016
Great place for cocktails and a unique take on comfort food. The duckaroni is worth a shot along with the cheese biscuits.

Do you like Fernet? They've got a lot behind the bar and you can order flights. Food is always legit and accommodates many tastes.

Sit at the bar with Cass at Comfort Hour and just get apps. Fried Green Tomatoes with Feta Creme Fraîche - Ahi Chop Chop - Märzen Oktoberfest. So delicious. So simple and comforting. :) <3

The duck confit is great but is even better with all the sides! So well balanced!
Tiffany La ForgeFebruary 24, 2010
Upscale comfort food in a lovely, intimate restaurant. The Duck Mac and Cheese is amazingly rich, their Cheddar Biscuits with Orange-Honey Butter is a must, & they also prepare Absinthe the right way.
Kat S.February 25, 2015
Four cheese grilled cheese sandwich with a side of tomato fennel soup and french fries.

Try the Yellowtail Tartare - The cornmeal crackers served with it are a little spicy. Tuna is fresh and dill is an unusual and nice touch..
JesseJanuary 27, 2013
If you don't like Blue Grass Sunday Brunch here, with its full bar, southern style plates to mix 'ish up - that may be your cue that its time to reinvent yourself ... Cause you may just suck.
Mike ChauFebruary 16, 2014
Try the Warm Cheese Biscuits - With orange honey butter and smoked tomato jam. Wow. This is way too much for one order. So good though.
Mark CJune 4, 2013
The service was great! Try the chicken and dumplings. They were also great! On-street parking only but the food was worth it.
Tim WattsFebruary 8, 2013
I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food looks really good. I only had the tomato soup this time around, but I found it very salty. It was reminiscent of pizza sauce I've had.
Sara TaylorOctober 12, 2017
Recommend the charcuterie plate and the watermelon salad. Nice outdoor patio that’s shady and quiet.
Mike ChauFebruary 16, 2014
Try the Monte Diego - Baked egg bread, smoked ham, grilled pears, marinated onions and fontina cheese.
Colleen PeroneApril 13, 2013
Ohh the Benny yum yum with Pork or Steak we tried both SO DELISH
MaciejMarch 19, 2013
Get a duroc pork belly. Off the hook. Beef cheek is also great. Great drinks.
Melissa KudoJune 30, 2012
Try the BBQ Glazed Duroc Pork Belly, Creamed Corn, Herb Puree, Pickled Tomato Salsa - Tastiest dish I've had in a long time
The FeastJune 13, 2011
The watermelon-tomato salad is a must, esp. this time of year. And we're loving the lamb-bacon meatloaf. Urban is one of North Park's hottest destinations.
Tricia HowerzylJanuary 4, 2014
Amazing cocktails and dinner. My friend is the sous chef, so I know it's made with love.
Ebbie WilliamsJanuary 4, 2014
Amazing cheddar biscuits and tomato relish. Definitely come for "blunch" on the weekends!

Try the Warm Spinach Salad - That's a soft egg on top, nice chunks of bacon, shaved cheese...very flavorful!
Gipsy BloodSeptember 27, 2015
Their cheese biscuits are indeed to die for.
Jon DarveauFebruary 1, 2018
Sit outside and enjoy anything off the menu, it’s all good!

You must try the Skillet of Duckaroni!! Delicious, one of the best macs I've ever had!
Alex YangOctober 9, 2011
Their house burger with all the toppings (especially the bacon--it's special) is one of the best I've ever had.
Gay TravelJanuary 6, 2012
Gaytravel Hot Spot! Urban has an awesome menu, truly unique cocktails and really cool decor! Tell Bryn (the manager) we say "hello!"
TJApril 28, 2012
Try the Eggaroni - Pasta, 3 cheeses, egg and smoked ham in a casserole . Goes perfect with prosecco. Super Yum!
Mike ChauFebruary 16, 2014
Try the Big Mon Bluegrass Cinnamon Roll - With cream cheese icing and butter pecan sauce. Wow.

Allie BaxterFebruary 14, 2011
Best grilled cheese ever. Also I tried the Juicy Apple drink and it was so delicious! They no longer have the sweet potato fries :( SO BUMMED.
ToryBurchMay 6, 2011
New American comfort food, like warm cheese biscuits with orange-honey butter or mac 'n cheese with blue cheese and duck confit.

Try the Duckaroni - This is a side portion, not the entree..PLENTY to enjoy with a salad or to share.
David KujawaMarch 31, 2011
Their monte diego is seriously one of the best sandwhiches! And their sweet potato fries! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
