What a great experience at Urban Plates and our first time to boot! Nohemi was a fantastic server and polite cashier. Our order came out correct, hot and delicious. The steak salad was cooked well done, just how she likes it (I know I know, but she's happy), and my club sandwich was tasty tasty. Overall, I am super satisfied with the dining experience, our server Nohemi's efficiency, and we will be back!

Walked into this great restaurant and was greeted by Brena and served by Em. Everyone is friendly, the food is delicious, especially the bread, and it’s a very nice environment. Greatly kept secret in Pasadena! Highly recommend!

Great healthy food, tasty. Natalie is great too! I got the steak and it was perfectly cooked. Beet salad is sweet and fresh. And the salmon salad was so delicious! I usually don’t even like salmon but tried my moms salmon and it was great 😊
