Renee and the staff at Urban Kitchen were delightful, prepared and on top of all the details. Delivery was quick and easy. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it! Thank you for a great evening!

We hired Urban Kitchen Catering & Events for a corporate group of 90 ppl traveling from all over Europe to Monterey. They were so amazing from start to end. Rene, Bethany with staff was wonderful to work with and created a very special experience for the group. The food was also spot on! We will definitely work with them again. /Mice Coordinator at Go West Tours

Great service! Worked out perfectly for my race team while at Laguna Seca.

Not surprised to see this place closing for good, and good riddance. I guess the $8 cheese cake the host lady smilingly gave me and that showed up on my tab, which I paid, was not enough to keep them going. I wonder how many times she tried that. I said it looked good but did not order it. Seemed like she was giving it to me several minutes later. That was the last time I went there. I sure did enjoy the prior place. Hope some decent new operators make a go of it. That lady seemed pathetic the way she was hanging around and seeming to flirt.

I got the salad bar to-go, and they gave me a large box and a cup for some soup. The salad bar had good options, and the clam chowder was delicious. Really glad we got a chance to pick up some work lunch here, and I will definitely look for a chance to return.

A locals hidden gem. We had lunch.. Good food at affordable prices. They baked rather than fried a rockfish entree at our request. The Artichoke Enchilda is a unique and tasty dish. Salad Bar getting better. Full bar with modest beer and wine selection and cocktails. Needs to expand dessert selection. Easy parking in contrast to nearby Del Monte Center. Close to Hwy 1. Specializes in dinner shows. A gre at addition to Monterey restaurants. Hope the keep on changing and improving.

The restaurant is situated in a hotel. The staff was friendly but could not get our orders right. They did not get our drink orders correct either. The food was good but nothing to write home about. They did have a salad bar that was good which is not that common nowadays so did enjoy that. For me it is a one and done event.

Karaoke Saturday nights is a blast! Such a cool and unique venue. Loved the random manequin

No sneeze guard! Yuck! Same old nasty salad bar with new signage. However, it has seating for 40.

It's a nice little hideaway place. Friendly atmosphere, great food, and the live music is plus!

Since I live here I only go there for the music on Thursday through Saturday, prices are great, munchies are good, nice mix of locals and visitors too.

This place is a disappointment. My friends and I used to go there all the time before it was bought by the new owners. Now, plates are often dirty. vegetables are not always fresh. Recently, my kids and I dined here, and noticed a worker dangling her socks over the salad bar and asking whether or not she should wear the socks for a birthday party that she is going to. She had the socks on her feet first, then took them off. A few minutes later, the chef brought in more vegetables and was cleaning around the containers. He picked things up things from the floor with his hands, and used the same hands to organize vegetables. Finally, the owner was using the same broom to broom chairs and dirty floors. I wish we had a nice salad bar in our area that we could actually rely on.

We were looking for a place to have dinner and after reading reviews we decided on Urban Kitchen. We both enjoyed our meals. My other half had the fish tacos and the organic salad bar. They tacos came out beautifully plated and were delicious. I wanted something light, so I had rice, beans and tortillas. All were equally as tasty. The owners are wonderful too! If you are in the area definitely give Urban Kitchen a try!

First time at this restaurant. Very impressed with the service and the quality of the food, as well as the wide range of selections on the menu. The items at the salad bar were fresh and the range of quality items was extensive. One of the best I have had!
