    Eww...

    Oof. Salad was promising enough but the repeatedly dismissive manager left a really bad taste in my mouth. As a brand new client I was told that I needed to use the kiosk in the corner because they were "so busy," even though I had all sorts of questions as to how I could respect my dietary needs. During my visit, I tried two other times to get some more specific information, which was begrudgingly provided. Finally, when I pointed out that there was a rotten leaf in my salad, she just muttered "sorry about that" and didn't offer anything to help offset that negative experience. If I were specializing in fresh salads that I was serving to the public, I would be pretty rigorous about checking the leaves as they go into the bowl. Definitely a bummer meal. The young man working the floor was the only one who was helpful.

    I ordered pick up but decided to dine in ! I got my fave the Cilantro Chicken Salad ! It is simply delicious and so fresh. Service is amazing. I was so surprised that Dahlia ( server) remembered me after meeting me a year ago! I was like what !? I haven't had that happen before. She came up to me and said, " Hi, it's been awhile but how are you?! Anything else you need? Everything ok?" Of course I remembered her too. She was so sweet when I first stopped by when this location had just opened. Props to her for being so friendly and welcoming! This location is close to the beach. Parking can be a bit hard as a small parking lot is there which is shared with other businesses. I love Urbane today and always! This is one of my go tos for a healthy lunch.

    This is my go to place for a good meal. I love trying new items on their menu and this time I decided to try their cilantro chicken salad. It was very fresh and very tasty. I always order on the app and ask for the dressing on the side! They always have my order ready when I pick it up. Great service and friendly staff!

    They left me on hold for 30 minutes...

    Nobody was more excited than me when I saw we were getting and Urbane in our neighborhood. I had been going to the original location religiously since 2003. In the past i would eat there several times a week and recommend it constantly. Unfortunately this location is not on it the way the telephone one always is. The online app ordering is NEVER updated. Im a big fan of their soups and they seems to be permanently turned off on the app. I even called in the other night to ask if they were available and the person that picked up the phone left me on hold for over 30 minutes! I'm highly disappointed in this location. The staff seem unhappy to be there. They're constantly putting out sloppy food and getting my orders wrong. To me that screams a problem with management. Maybe they aren't treating their staff respectfully... I dont know. I will continue to drive to the telephone location when I am craving Urbane so i dont have to deal with the many downfalls of this location. Sadly, that seems like my only option.

    I love Urban Cafe. It's a good cafe for eating and going. I have been to other locations, but this was my first time in Ventura. The cafe was clean, and the service was excellent. My favorite is an Antioxidant salad. I hope there are more drinks in the selection. There are tables inside and outside, but it would be best to have a table outside to see the ocean and feel the nice winds. There is a parking, but you can also park on the street.

    I have only tried UC twice, but I will be returning many more times, the food I've tried is delicious. The staff is very friendly, they went out of their way to assist with everything I always have questions! The place inside has few tables, but there is an outside patio that great. Team member Crystal, made a few recommendation on what to try and they did not disappoint. Their sauces are delicious a must try. Will be returning soon to try more on the menu.

    My favorite salad place! I really love their food! Anything and everything here is amazing! I tried their chimichurri steak sandwich and it was as amazing as their bowls and salads! I placed the order online and picked up in person. It was quick and easy. Great staff. Will definitely return here in the future

    Veggie Bowl Just so tasty and this hummus is the best!

    Wow, where do I even begin? Everyone that works here is so friendly and is always paying attention if there is someone waiting at the line to order. I did a mobile order today before heading to work and I forgot to order an extra peanut dressing for my salad and as I was waiting in line, the gentleman making the bread called someone to help me. A young girl approached and she was so friendly and helped me out. Just beyond excellent service!!! The food is just so delicious on another level. You taste the great quality and freshness In every bite. If you want amazing food, greeted by good working employees and be in such a good ambiance, then you gotta stop here. I give this place 100 Stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You truly can't miss w/ the padthai: classic, perfectly balanced, & sooo satisfying. The papaya salad w/ shrimp was my personal fav; one bite had me craving more. I'm honestly drooling just thinking about it while writing this. The restaurant is on the smaller side & fills up rather quickly, often reaching a full house, so going earlier in the day is the best way to fully enjoy both the food & the experience. The servers are efficient, attentive, & keep everything moving seamlessly. If you love thai cuisine, this spot is a must visit. I highly recommend!

    My mom and I stopped by the main location for the Lunch Special this week and it was delicious!…read moreThere are two locations (around 800ft away from each other) that operate the same, it's just for more space I'm guessing. The lunch special came with a small egg roll and mild side salad (not too much dressing, which was perfect). I just wish there were more egg rolls to come with it lol! It was a great deal for $16 and we had food to take home since the portions were large. We ordered the Pad Thai with chicken, and the Thai Fried Rice with pork. Both were spectacular! I will say the Pad Thai was a bit on the sweeter side however--just keep that in mind for taste preference. It's this reason that the fried rice was both of our favorite dishes, as its savory umami flavor paired so well with the pork. I could've eaten an entire plate by myself! Service took a bit long to get our food, but they were very kind nonetheless. We will be returning, and we can't wait to try other dishes like their soups and curry!

I ordered a hot pot soup that was simply perfect. The amount of spice was just enough, and I love hot pots because they keep my soup hot. My husband ordered a beef rice bowl and added shrimp to it. The rice bowl was also so delicious. To go along with my meal, I ordered Thai boba tea, and I loved it! The portions are generous, so we had leftovers, which we were happy about!

It seemed to take a while till someone brought us water and another little while till our orders were finally taken. We requested two Thai iced teas which were quite delicious with coconut milk subbed for the cows milk. We told the server we would be sharing our orders. We shared a vegan hot pot and a Pad See Ew with chicken. The hot pot consisted of broccoli, shredded cabbage, carrots, steamed tofu, corn, udon noodles, two vegan dumplings, sliced squash, spinach and baby bok choy. Veggies were tender crisp although the broth was rather bland. The Pad See Ew was a bit disappointing. While the sauce was tasty, the broccoli and carrots tender crisp, the chicken was not only dry but quite tough and chewy. I must add, as were sharing these dishes, the server neglected to bring additional plates and a serving ladle for the soup. So my hubby had to go inside find someone and request the serving utensils for both dishes, plates and eating utensils for sharing. So we waited again. Not sure what folks ate that gave a five star review . What we experienced fell a couple notches below that rating. Would I return? Probably not, there are better options in Ventura.

You've really gotta try the Strawbanero (Strawberry-Habanero) sauce, as it was a sweet and savory bite that had all three of us fighting over. * Buffalo Barrels (aka Tater Tots) were worth the $5 upgrade. But, I'm somewhat of a Tater Tot junkie, so take that advice for what it's worth. * Fries were fantastic, as well. * Short Rib Melt was delicious, but very, very rich. It could've used a little relief like some pickles either on it or on the side. The Meh: * They do have their own parking lot, but it is smallish and can fill up fast.

The blueberry margarita and limoncello beverages were my two drinks of choice, recommended by our lovely waitress Bethany. I liked my drinks a little sweet and girly and both fit that vibe. Shared some oysters with the wife and some crab cakes, they all hit the spot and were solid appetizers to start with. I also got a cup of clam chowder before my main meal. One of the better clam chowders I've had to date. Nice and creamy, fresh and satisfying, it almost had me wishing I ordered a bowl instead. My wife tried mine too and had to order her own right after. The lobster roll with some fries was my main course. So good! The bun was lightly toasted and crisp and the lobster was just sweet and buttery without being too heavy. Very satisfying. And then finally I had to wrap things up with a dessert. Their strawberry basque cheesecake was the easy choice for me. This is the kind of dessert where everyone says they're just going to have a bite and suddenly half of it is gone. I'm glad I split it because I could have easily indulged and eaten the whole thing on my own if the temptation was there. And again, service was excellent. It wasn't particularly busy when we were there. The drinks came in a little slow because there was only one bartender and the bar was busy but otherwise, our waitress checked in on us a healthy amount of times to see if we needed anything or to refill our waters. We sat outside so nice ambiance too. We went to three restaurants while visiting this area and this was the only one I really felt compelled to write a review for. Certainly recommend it.
