A little backstory, Urban is right next my favorite spot for live music in Central Florida, Pilar's Loft. Everyone should check them out. After leaving Pilar's yesterday I was famished and said why not, I'm a fan of brunch .... Let's see what their dinner has to offer. It was about 8:30pm and they were close to closing so it was pretty empty and my wife and I were seated quickly. As expected, the service was amazing. They have great servers. It was also great to bump into Jane again before she left for the day. We started with the Spicy Meatballs and the Wild Mushroom Mac and Cheese. The meatballs were delicious, generously portioned with an Arrabbiata sauce, fresh basil, Parmesan, and garlic bread. The sauce was indeed quite spicy but not overpowering. The basil was a nice fresh equalizer offsetting the spice of the sauce. The meatballs were well seasoned, dense, and had just the right ratio of fat. The mushroom Mac and cheese surprised me. Manchego was the base cheese... but I got strong blue cheese on the palate. Perhaps this manchego was aged or maybe there was blue cheese in it. I'm not sure. I am sure that I hate blue cheese lol. Nonetheless, there was a deft handling of these flavor profiles.... Mainly the richness and cooking of the mushrooms being a perfect counterbalance to the boldness of the cheese. I really enjoyed this dish and finished it rather quickly. I was sad it was done lol. My favorite bite of the night by far. My entree was the salmon BLT with pepper jack added. I find most restaurants overcook salmon. This however, was a perfect medium. Not too moist, not too dry, just right. Goldilocks. Bacon makes all things better and this was no exception. An exceptional sandwich indeed. I ate the BLT with a sausage and kale soup which was great... just needed maybe a pinch of salt. I ended the night with the key lime pie. Key lime pie is my absolute favorite dessert and this hit the spot. I ate it so fast I forgot my customary photo. Well Done Urban on Plant. Stop in and pay them a visit.

I got my main course and appetizer at the same time and still hadn't gotten my drink. Apparently the bartender was overwhelmed and after finishing my meal, i still didn't get my drink. But otherwise, I'll visit again. The food is yummy and the staff is nice. I wish they had more help on weekends. Maybe a lot of call outs?

Headed over to Winter Gardens for the Saturday farmers market. Came across Urban on Plant and decided to give it a try! It was very busy, but the 30 min wait was definitely worth it. I ordered the Turkey Club and would certainly have it again, and again, and again.... Service was very attentive and friendly, pricing fair! Perfect for a nice sit down lunch if you are in the area.

Great food in a nice environment with indoor and outdoor seating. The fish tacos are great. Fun drink selection. The spinach dip is so delicious! read more Great food in a nice environment with indoor and outdoor seating. The fish tacos are great. Fun drink selection. The spinach dip is so delicious!

My Bourbon drink came out relatively quick, as the bar was full of people. It was a perfect blend of flavors. Now,my sister has Shakshuka often, so I decided to try it. It was ok, for me. It did not look like the egg was cooked in adepression in the tomato mix. But, the egg center was still runny, so that was good. It was a bit over spicy for me, so I tookit home for the family. Instead, I ordered the Roasted Beet Salad. When it arrived, I was a bit shocked. I thought there wouldbe more beets and be more of a beet salad with arugula, not the other way around. The beets were also hot, not cold as Iexpected. The flavor of the beets was good and the arugula with goat cheese and roasted pistachios was very tasty. I woulddefinitely order it again, even though it wasn't what I expected. Overall, I will probably come back to try other things.
