Spectacular Californian sandwich -- the first vegetarian sandwich option comes with a very tasty side salad
Johan M.

Got hungry while waiting in Simi Valley, and this place looked like it would have good salads. The Jewel salad looked appetizing, but the Californian vegetarian sandwich sounded really good and I decided to treat myself. Not only did this tasty sandwich not disappoint in the slightest, the side salad fully satisfied my salad search. As I was eating, I was called and informed that I did not have to wait any longer and could get going. I felt bad that I had not ordered my food to go but I approached some of the servers and told them that I had to get going unexpectedly and wondered if I could get my food to go. Not only was that not a problem, one of them offered me one of their fresh baked cookies. I told them if they were offering me a free cookie then I would gladly accept a free cookie. And in fact, they were offering me a free cookie and I will say this: what a great way to advertise your fantastic cookies. The staff was friendly, helpful and generous. The food was delicious. The environment was clean, quiet, trendy, and in inviting. As good as it gets. Five stars. And I looked into it--there's an Urbane Cafe in Northridge which is much more convenient for me living in the West SF Valley. I look forward to visiting that location and comparing with the Simi location that did not disappoint in anyway. Whatsoever would visit again if it was more convenient.

Love that they bake the breads fresh right in front of you!! Sandwiches good. The chicken ban mi my favorite. The chocolate chip cookies are fabulous Prices reasonable service workers friendly

Glazed salmon salad was moist and delicious
Benay K.

Friendly service clean and delicious food. Tables outside where we were able to sit with the dogs. We ordered; Salmon glazed salad $13.50 was really good. Salmon was moist and flavorful Tomato Bisque soup $6 was good but a small portion for that price Side of chicken for my pooches $3.50 seemed processed one of my dogs wouldn't eat it- the other one is a lab- so he ate it with no problem Gluten free read $4 was excellent

Antioxidant Salad
Leslie S.

I'm a long time fan of Urbane Cafe! I don't visit the Simi location often, but my experience at this location has been just as good as the other locations that I've been to. I decided to try the new antioxidant salad. I added chicken to it and had the dressing in the side. I loved all of the ingredients in the salad. I was not as crazy about the blueberry vinaigrette dressing. The portion size was great and I was able to have some for lunch the next day. Although the salad was good, my favorite items are still the sandwiches and the cookies. I also love their lemonade. Urbane Cafe has excellent food for a great price! I highly recommend coming here!

I've really never had a bad meal or experience here. I love that their food is always fresh. Today, Felix helped me, and he was great. My food came promptly and was exactly as ordered. I asked for a couple substitutions, and they got them right! I love this location & I'm always able to find parking. Clean restrooms.

Piece of meat from a vegetarian sandwich

I've eaten here a multitude of times over 5 years. Last week, we ordered 3 meals for dinner one day. I always get a vegetarian sandwich. I lifted one of the top pieces of bread to adjust some greens that were spilling out the sides. Thats when I noticed a small piece of meat deliberately placed in the center of my sandwich. I called the location to speak to a manager and resolve this. When I called, a girl answered and told me they did not have a MOD. I left my contact info and requested a call back, explicitly stating this is a health safety concern. I never received a call. TLDR: if you're vegetarian AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS.

If you are seeking a quick healthy meal, then this is a good place to stop at! From entering the restaurant we were greeted by staff warmly! Food was prepared very quickly and delivered to our table with napkins and silverware. We appreciate the reusable plates when eating in! The food was fresh! Sandwiches come with a side salad! The salad was bountiful! Nice green lettuce! The sandwiches were a good size and well prepared! The menu consists of sandwiches, salads and soups! The menu even has vegetarian food items! Also the restaurant has very good freshly made cookies! They also make their own bread! Bonus! The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating! Outdoor seats have umbrellas! Indoor consist of bench seating and tables! Plenty of parking! Parking lot shared with target! We appreciate the great service and fresh food! We will be back!

Would not take order of first round of drinks without looking at our ID's. My wife and I are in our sixties, it was embarrassing because they made a huge production out of it. (No other patrons that I saw were subject to this scrutiny) The Ugly: we each had one drink and shared two yellow tail sashimi starters. Upon asking for another round we were rather surprised to find out our party was cut off from the bar. Water and bread only. The sashimi eaten we took the indignation in stride and decided to wait until the barmaid deemed it acceptable to serve us again. Now it gets bad, one of our party became ill and threw up in the bathroom, before we could even find out what was going on with her, barmaid from hell publicly informed us because one of our party was ill we were permanently cut off from the bar. Not considering the food as the culprit of said illness at all. My wife began to feel sick as well and we paid and left. She had trouble walking, speaking and breathing. She became violently ill and the smell of bad fish was overwhelming. I have a portable breathalyzer for guests to use at my home to ensure their safety if they drink. My BAC - .023 , my wife's was .024 obviously not intoxicated. Shame on M on High for such poor judgement and embarrassing their patrons. Avoiding this restaurant is going to be so easy as there's a plethora of good restaurants in the area. This is my experience, the Good, the Bad and, The UGLY.

My fiancé and I made Valentine's Day reservations about two weeks in advance because we were really looking forward to eating here -- especially the burgers. They only offer one type of burger and it is DELICIOUS. But there was no mention anywhere on OpenTable or the restaurant's website that a prix fixe menu would be required for the holiday. Only after we were seated at our table were we given a prix fixe menu and told it was the only option. The burgers we specifically came for weren't available, so we had to leave without ordering. It was embarrassing, frustrating, and very disappointing, especially since this was a special occasion we planned ahead for. The issue wasn't the prix fixe menu itself -- it was the lack of communication beforehand. A simple notice during booking would have saved us the time and disappointment.

You'll hear many patrons describe this restaurant as a hidden gem. Believe them. From our observation, reservations are highly desirable and may prove necessary for weekend nights. The only seatings available when we called a day earlier were at 4:30 or after 7:00 PM. We took the earlier, and frankly are glad we did. We arrived at their unassuming storefront location as the first patrons of the day, were warmly greeted and immediately seated. From this moment forward, my wife and I agreed: If anyone hopes to run a highly successful small restaurant, Bella's Bistro is the template. Inside, the ambiance was tasteful with gentle background music at the absolutely perfect tempo and volume to allow for conversation. We found the furnishings, tableware and restroom immaculate. Fresh flowers and a candle adorned each table, and the decorations for Valentine's Day were just the right tone, conveying appeal without being garish. Kudos to the staff for getting it right on all of the above. Though I generally set expectations low for the wine list or bartending at a small establishment, Bella's features a diverse wine list and specialty cocktails that pair very well with their menu. Of particular note was the superb crafting of cocktails during our visit - again, exceeding our expectations. It was during cocktail service that we noticed the full-service bar tucked in the rear corner of the restaurant, offering barstool seating and counter service for those who may be so inclined. We shared a nicely prepared caesar salad, while enjoying the basket of varied breads. While refrigerated butter pats were provided in the basket, it would have been a tad easier and more appealing if a small container of whipped butter had been offered instead. Our entrees included their homemade ravioli as well as chicken parmigiana, the latter included a large perfectly crafted portion of chicken accompanied by perfectly prepared spaghetti. To say this restaurant knows how to make and served great pasta is in understatement, with the ravioli a choice to be savored. A simple cheesecake dessert topped off the evening. Though the restaurant was full as our meal ended, we never felt rushed or ignored. Service was at all times attentive but never overbearing. There was genuine interest in our enjoyment and satisfaction. We encourage you to try Bella's Bistro!

My wife and I visited on a Sunday evening, and the service was excellent. We also enjoyed some really good cocktails before dinner. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing.

I mentioned to her before we left, "it's as if you took us up on a hot air balloon ride with and ever so gently brought us back down to earth." That's what our evening was like in best terms.

It looks like they might be breaking some child labor laws because their new staff member was definitely under age and half of their entire drink menu was just milk, not ideal. When I questioned this, they became extremely defensive and claimed it was "artisanal" and "locally sourced." The ambiance is fine, but the head chef (Sarah) is extremely rude and takes digs at you during the meal....not fun. She also kept leaving mid-service to "handle something in the back" which I can only assume means the kitchen is in complete chaos. At one point she just disappeared for 20 minutes. Completely unprofessional. Calling in to place a reservation is quite the hassle. You get put on a 3 way facetime call???? all while the staff insults you and talks about sourcing ingredients from japan or their costa rican cuisine fusion. Doesn't really make sense. They also have ZERO consistency with their hours of operation. I tried to make a reservation for 7pm and was told they "don't really do dinner service anymore" and that I should "just come over whenever." The real kicker? I found multiple toys in the dining area and what appeared to be cheerios ground into the carpet. This used to be a respectable establishment. Save your money and go literally anywhere else.
