First and foremost, I would like to thank the excellent chef Nene, bartender Patrick, and the owner Raj for hosting my husband and I for dinner recently. The food, service, and ambiance were all excellent. Second, I highly recommend going to Urban Grill, because the food is delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The Pork Chops are one of my favorite dishes, it was incredibly tender and flavorful with candied ginger apples and soy bbq sauce. I craved this dish for days after dining here. The Lettuce wraps are also great. My husband and I reorder them often, especially because the spicy thai peanut sauce and spicy soy sauce are second to none. The Urban Wedge Salad and Warm Caprese are also amazing and so delicious! There are many other dishes there that I've tried and loved.Additionally, the margarita that Patrick made was perfection. It was prepared exactly how I like it. Not too sweet or overwhelming but perfectly balanced and flavorful. The new owner Raj is friendly, attentive, and it's obvious he's passionate about creating delicious, thoughtful, and interesting drink and food menus. The service at Urban Grill is great and we love coming here on date nights. Urban Grill truly is a gem of Orange County that I recommend you try!

We were looking for a great meal and after running through some ideas, said we have not been to Urban Grill for a few months. Since I love their pork chop and my wife loves the lollipop lamb chops... off we went!I want to ask if the actual chef was in the kitchen Saturday Feb 15th at 8PM?I doubt it because I find it hard to believe that a professional chef would allow food to be served the way ours was.Lets start with the Mixed Green salad.It looked good, but something did not taste right and when we asked the waiter if we could possibly get a little extra balsamic vinaigrette dressing, he said ok and brought out ranch. WTF - ranch on that salad??? We said we wanted more balsamic and he told us that they had run out, which is why there was none on our salad - a salad that is SUPPOSED to have balsamic dressing. I am not sure what they put on. We sent it back.I ordered my favorite dish - the pork chop, which for the price you pay you expect it to be delicious. It was good, but not great.BJ's has a better pork chop on their weekend special menu which was way better.My wife got her lamb chops, medium rare.They came out a little over cooked, which sometimes you expect, but they were also chewy and had more fat than they should have.I would not even classify them as good, just average.Again for the price you pay, they should be mouth watering and awsome! On the lamb chops - if you look at the picture attached, do you see anything wrong?What they show you is NOT what you get.They show all the chops have bones, and is arranged nicely, yet only one of the four chops had the bone, which is half the fun and flavor of ordering lamb chops!Also, it looked like it was not "plated" (my son is a banquet chef and is very particular about presentation) rather heaped on the potatos... which ruins the dish before even tasting it.I read some other reviews today - which in hindsight I should have read BEFORE going there and it seems the place has been sold and the new owners have not even addressed any of the reviews.Next time I am craving Urban Grill, I will probably go to Urban Plates and get better food. Or better, BJ's for their pork chop.I wonder what this place will be in the summertime.Maybe a Chipolte or Flame Broiler???

My wife made reservations for New Year's Eve. Excited because Urban Grill and Wine Bar has been one of our local faves when choosing a nicer sit-down restaurant. My wife told me ahead of time that she was thinking of the Lamb Chops, which have always been especially flavorful. Their Pork Chop has been one of my go to choices.We arrived on time and were promptly seated. During busy holidays, they cram a lot of tables into their small footprint. It's funny because we have gotten into conversations with other couples because they were so close, it's as if we were part of the same party. This time, we had a table against the wall and slightly more space between us and the next table. Waiters and busboys used the narrow aisle to get around. My wife ordered the lamb chops (medium well) and I ordered the Seafood pasta. We ordered Garlic Parmesan fries as an appetizer.After our meal, we were talking about our food and it was unanimous. Everything we had was not as good as we expected and remembered.The garlic parmesan fries were ok, but didn't taste very garlic-y. There seemed to be way more parmesan than garlic. They gave a generous portion but it wasn't as flavorful as expected. My wife ordered the lamb chops (medium) but she said it came out and was more done than expected, which was disappointing. She also noted that the chimichurri sauce was bland, not savory as expected.My seafood pasta was average. It was billed as having a lemon, butter wine sauce but I couldn't taste the wine or the lemon. The sauce was bland at best.On our way home, we were wondering if the restaurant might be under new management. It was just so disappointing, especially given the cost. When you spend $135 for a meal, you expect it to be excellent, not average. We didn't order drinks either. After a quick online search, it appears that Urban Wine and Grill is under new management (confirmed June 2024 based on other reviews I've now read). I remember ordering many times during the pandemic (takeout). We wanted to help keep them in business and the food was great. We've been a handful of times in person since but this last time gave us pause on coming back. Same name, same dishes, but definitely not prepared the same way. The new management apparently didn't see the need to prepare the dishes in the same way. Too bad as this restaurant just isn't the same as far as quality.Time to find a new goto place for our higher end dining experiences.UPDATE: my wife ordered the Biscoff Cheesecake and we took it to go. She didn't have any last night and just sampled it tonight (one night later). She said the cheesecake was good but there were pieces of plastic in the cheesecake.The owner responded to my review and assured that the culinary staff, recipes and ingredients are all the same. However, SOMETHING is clearly different as the quality of the food is not the same.

So disappointed. We've been coming to this restaurant since it opened. Made reservations for Valentines Day dinner a week prior. Got there early and they put us in the worse spot possible. They wouldn't move us. The menu was the same but they jacked up the prices almost half and called it a Set Price Valentines menu. For example, Vegetable Stir Fry is normally $20. Set price was $60! New owner needs to fix it!

Urban Grill seems like it recently changed management? Menu got smaller and seems like portions did too but prices went up. I have gluten, soy and dairy allergies among others so I usually get an urban burger without bun (tailored) and chopped salad. This last time my salad was so tiny. My husband comes here more often and has had many dishes and likes them all. Good local spot but was a little disappointed with portions.

My company's "go to" place for new hires, birthdays, & after work unwinding. Great food, great service (Jacob is the best!), and nice ambiance for a strip mall setting. They even have outdoor seating to enjoy the So Cal perfect weather.

First experience here and got the tri tip soup, the crab cakes, the Australian lamb chops and the special of the day was this incredible seabass with a lemon sauce and mushroom risotto. Everything was absolutely delicious I'd order it all again! The supermoon Pinot noir was refreshing and delicious as well. Great service, great ambiance really enjoyed our time!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! New ownership has negatively affected this once 5 star restaurant. I've been coming for years and have always had a great time and enjoyed the food. The atmosphere is still great with indoor and outdoor seating. However, my last few visits have been less than stellar. I gave them a break the first couple of times under new management, however now it's become a negative trend from the menu to the service. This had been my wife's and another friend's favorite spot for lemon drops, however the last time we went they salted the rim on them. We could've written that off as a simple mistake. However, when they brought back the fixes they still had a salty taste. All they did was pour the same drink into new glasses with a sugar rim. However, you cannot take the salt taste out of a sweet drink. We gave up on those and ordered other drinks. I understand liquor cost, but you can't cheat out a customer. No manager visit, no comp for the bad drinks or experience. We're regulars, I'm the Duke of this restaurant, and no manager or owner came to check on us. They weren't busy, so that's not an excuse. For the most recent meal my wife ordered a wedge salad with steak, chopped and tossed. They brought the salad out on a tiny appetizer plate with the salad falling off the edges. Did they run out of dinner plates or salad bowls!! Presentation is part of a meal. Such simple things keep a restaurant alive. We loved this place, now we don't know when, if ever, we'll be back. Please fix the issues.
