5 /5 Hazel Venezia: We chose Urban Plates in Irvine for our Sunday supper this past weekend and loved every bite! Their menu is full of healthy, flavorful options, all freshly made to order with great-quality ingredients. We enjoyed the seared tuna plate, steak chimichurri, Thai chicken salad, surf & turf plate, and a steak sandwich with chicken tortilla soup. Everything was delicious, but our favorites were definitely the Thai chicken salad, the tortilla soup, and the surf & turf platter.
Dessert was a showstopper—beautifully decorated and absolutely to die for. The Mango Tart and Hummingbird Cake were standouts (and yes, the flowers on top are edible!).
The restaurant itself is warm, cozy, and stylishly modern. Service was quick and kind, and a big thank-you to Izzy, the manager on duty, and her team for their attentive, welcoming hospitality.
We’ll definitely be back soon for another relaxed, flavorful meal and those unforgettable desserts!
