“I was very pleased with the restaurant's atmosphere, the staff's service, the prices, the menu, and the quality of the dishes. I was pleased that they offered smaller set meals than the standard menu. The meatloaf was delicious. The navel orange juice was also excellent. It was wonderful to dine in a relaxed atmosphere in Torrance, and this restaurant has become one of my favorites. I hope to return in the future.”

“We had a great dining experience at Urban Plates in Long Beach. Mariana explained the menu choices in a very unrushed manner, and we decided on the steak. I ordered the Chimichurri grass-fed steak with balsamic brussel sprouts and herb-roasted potatoes. All of it was delicious ( and healthy too!). The deserts were absolutely killer too. We will definitely eat here again next time we're in Long Beach.”

“We stumbled upon this little café by chance while driving from the airport — and what a hidden gem it turned out to be! I honestly envy the office workers who get to have this place nearby every day. It's a small café, but everything they serve is top-tier culinary art — the sandwiches, coffee, and salads are absolutely delicious. And the soups… just wow! We tried the pumpkin and broccoli soups — both incredibly tasty and nourishing. My 7-year-old son usually won’t touch broccoli, but he loved their broccoli soup and ate it with great pleasure. We've only been there a couple of times over the past year, but it’s definitely on our list for every future trip to Los Angeles. Can’t wait to come back!”

“Nice and quiet is your thing? This would do you fine. Not a fancy dinining place but reasonable food and bar selection. Lots of seats both in and out door situated in the modern themed lobby area and outdoor patio. I was bit disappointed with their coffee service.... Most restaurants I've ate in offers free refill of coffee if you finish your Americano or even a latte. Nope, not here. Hotel = first and last customer mentality? I hope not... Should seek to draw local crowd that will help sustain your business when hotel guests become thin.”
