Plaza Diaz - Catering & Events

I've been coming here for years. Maybe decades. (Crazy Horse became Urban Kitchen). It hasn't changed much, meaning its aesthetically dated. But here's the thing: $19 and you can enjoy local, seasonal, organic vegetables. (That's their claim anyway. I can't verify, except the "vegetables" part. These you can enjoy uncooked and unadulterated. Mushrooms, lettuce, tomatoes. If you want hot food, fake meat or any of that, this won't be your place.

My wife and I came to visit Monterey for the weekend and stayed at the red lion on our second night. The urban kitchen is located on site at the hotel. The owner/host Renee was gracious and friendly. He went out of his way with service. Also the food was delicious enjoyed the artichoke enchilada and seafood soup!! Definitely recommend staying at the red lion and eating at the Urb. kitchen

Absolutely delicious!! The taco shells are light and crunchy. A lot of food for a good price!! Scrumptious!! Will always return

The menu is very small and literally the only veg option is the salad bar. I stayed at the hotel and would've liked to just go downstairs to the restaurant but having just a couple more options would have been preferable.
