Great food and the service was prompt and friendly. The atmosphere is a bit open and you are on display to the lobby which kind of kills the mood and makes the place feel empty. They had live music which was decent and they make great cocktails.

Our server was fantastic—friendly, attentive, kept our waters topped off, and checked in on us regularly despite how busy it was. All in all, a solid spot for food, fun, and a laid-back atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back.

Delta Hotels is an excellent choice for accommodations. I appreciate the availability of a full bar and restaurant, as well as Starbucks. The restaurant staff are exceptional and very helpful. I am impressed by the quality of the food and beverages. I will definitely be returning.

Sat by a host and waited 24 minutes- waved at a waitress we know, and got up and left after no acknowledgment after 24 minutes.
On the way out a waitress asked if we had been helped- and we stated no that was the problem and would like to speak with management. She stated first of all she would need us to know this was in no way her fault, and then proceeded to walk away and find the host and chew him out for seating the table and not telling someone.

We are regulars here and hVe never seen this host- he is likely new or doesn’t work often- yes that is his job to notify the server he sat a table in her section but she should be aware of the section herself also.
-A manager walked up- whom I haven’t mentioned yet, came to the table next to us after we had been sat for 15 minutes and asked if they had their order taken yet, and took the order and did not acknowledge us whatsoever.
I asked her how long she thinks a table should sit before being acknowledged? If 24 minutes is acceptable? She stated no. And that she thought the waitress had been helping us. I said you literally took an order at the table next to us, and walked away she stated again that was because the waitress was serving us, I stated again how the whole reason we were having this conversation was because NO ONE had acknowledged us since the host sat us.

At that time we were offered service.
No, I’ll take my service elsewhere. Such a shame as we like a sit down meal other than bar food with music options in town and frequent this place but it is REALLY consistently going downhill this last year!

Tina my server outstanding. I've been here three weeks. The food at dinner is the worst I've ever had for what I'm paying. Food is slopped on the plate. Steaks come out way under cooked or over cooked. Vegetables are hard cold and not even blanched. $60.00 for a steak dinner where the steak is not even close, mashed potatoes are watery, vegetables are hard, blackened and you still have to pay for it even though you can't eat it.
Management takes your comments and does nothing. They don't care. Changing hotels this week. I'm in town on business for 4 months. I gotta eat but not here.

Let me start off with the music was wonderful for Vday. Besides that, food was ok. Service was not good! Will I be back.... probably not. We were there for 2 and a half hours and had to flag our sever down everytime we needed something. The other couple we were with there food got messed up. They didn't tell us they were out of Brussel sprouts which is why my friend ordered her food to begin with. So when she got it she was super disappointed. Ontop of getting her food 20min after every one else. When we received our bill it was totally messed up. I had to write it out who's food was who's and even a 2nd time it was messed up. Our server was irrated which isn't our fault on the mistakes. And when we left we still tipped her very well and she was less than thankful. Also when leaving I asked about brunch times and 4 servers didn't know the times or details and noone could seem to find the manager. And when 1 server took it upon herself to ask the front desk about brunch times she said we didn't have brunch and the serve says yes we do. So noone knows what the heck is going on apparently. I do wanna add we ordered the urban 42 burgers. And they were well over done! like burnt! It was super unorganized and a mess in my opinion!

Had a great Valentine's Day here! The food was great and Kathy Brekke and the 42nd Street Band created an outstanding ambiance. Definitely recommend it.

We were very excited for our Valentines Day dinner at Urban 42 but were unfortunately disappointed with what we got. For $120 we got cold, overcooked, nearly inedible steak; flavorless and undercooked walleye, a tiny glass of warm flat champagne, and one dessert to share that was nearly the only thing we wanted to eat. Also, their alcoholic drinks are $13+ each and are essentially rail liquor and a bunch of sugar to cover the taste. Not sure if it was just this specialty meal but we were feeling pretty frustrated that we spent so much money. Our server also seemed as confused as we were by the whole situation and had to be flagged down and prompted for almost everything - silverware, water, drink menus, the included champagne, etc. We were left feeling like we had wasted out money to say the least.

If you're looking for a place with a nice vibe, this joint can't be beat. We were met with live music and it certainly set the mood. The musicians were fun, kept things light, interacted with the crowd and took song requests. It was really nice. The food, however, was not good. Everything seemed to be unseasoned and items were left behind. When I'm paying a premium for a Valentine's Day menu I expect to enjoy my meal...this was the exact opposite of my real experience. I'm a proud member of the clean plate club on most occasions and I left hungry because the steak was so chewy I probably looked like a cow working a bit of cud. Our server was great.

We had horrible service. Our waitress was not attentive so we had to go to the bar to get drinks often.

We loved it. Everything we ate was amazing in flavor and presentation. My daughter wanted albedo noodles and they made it even though it wasn't on the menu, and it was also the best tasting Alfredo noodles too. The meat was cooked perfectly and seasoned well but not too much. It was pricey but the quality of food made it worth it. Also the lava cake flowed like it does on the TV. I would go again if I was in fargo.

It was really busy so food took a while to come. Had the Cajun pasta and buck and cheese pasta . It was good traditional comfort food. Server had good service and filled waters and checked in on us lots.

Not nearly enough staff to work the bar area. Our server was working her tail off, but there really needed to be at least 2 or 3 more servers for a Saturday night with popular band. Not her fault at all, but management needs to take note.

Im writing this while I'm sitting here eating, first and foremost the absolutely WAY to loud terrible band is awful. The appetizer was gross, burnt fried pickles with ketchup and mayo mixed is super trashy. I ordered a cup of beef stew and got served the grossest chili I've ever eaten with a coffee spoon!?!? What kind up upscale place serves soup with a coffee spoon! That's ridiculous. Overall the food was terrible and the atmosphere with the band was dreadful.
