Ok everyone you need to head over to Urban Grill & Wine Bar! I am eating an excellent Half Mixed Greens Salad with balsamic vinaigrette and a Happy Hour special of Fried Calamari! The calamari has 2 excellent sauces with it plus lots of lemon like I like! The unsweetened iced tea is tropical and has a very light taste to it. I am so impressed!!! And my waiter Jacob is so accommodating and very sweet!

We've dined in 4-5 times and we've enjoyed the food and service everytime! The food is superb, and they use high quality ingredients. The servers checked up on us multiple times and were very friendly. We recommend the Artisan cheese board, Urban flatbread, Vegetable pasta, Mediterranean chicken, Seared dayboat salad entree.

Great food and wine!! Had the lamb chops and it was absolutely delicious!! Highly recommend the Raeburn Chardonnay 😍

Decided to try this place on a random weeknight. Best decision! The menu has almost anything you're in the mood for, but not overwhelming either. Their specialty cocktails were also great. Our server was very helpful and made great recommendations. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu, it was very difficult to decide on just one thing.

This is over if my fiancee and I favorite restaurants here in the lake Forest area. They always have prompt service, great food, great chef specials, awesome brunch and a wonderful drink menu. In the pictures below you have the scallops and French onion soup. The scallops were cooked perfect on a bed of some form of fried potatoes or root vegetables, delicious. The French onion soup base was delicious maybe needed just a touch of pepper my only other criticism was lack of the soup hitting the broiler. But aside from the semi soggy bread which was caused by the blanket of cheese creating a steam pocket it was delicious.

Great atmosphere excellent service the food is top of the line I will definitely be returning When they brought me the plate I kind of thought it was a little bit on the light side until I started eating I had more than enough Great place for a date right Our waiter was very knowledgeable of the plates and very attentive making sure we had whatever we needed When the bill came in and $158 I had no issue paying that bill because I was completely satisfied with the food and the service

Traveling with my husband and stopped in for dinner. The hostess welcomed us immediately upon arrival. Our server, Justin, was excellent and very attentive. The manager, Kim, was wonderfully kind and inviting. Absolutely recommend and will be coming back!

So popular it was packed, just enough room to eat. Every bite was well worth it, every nibble was so delectable, the range of flavors were astounding. The lamb was cooked to perfection, the salad was crisp and light, the soup was flavorful and wholesome, even the bread was spectacular.

I cannot begin to Express how grateful I am for Urban Grill and Wine bar. I have ordered necessities twice now. They delivered to my door step. They have given me quality items, and I am enjoying everything from the eggs to the meat to the wine. They are a star in this dark time. Thank you Amanda and team. Our first time visiting you was Valentine's Day dinner. Who would have imagined that you would be brightening my life with necessities at a time like this?

Great place for wine and food. We got the cheese platter along with the Lamb Shank entree and they were both excellent. Also, the wine recommendations were on point. Chill vibe, with a few cougars sprinkled here and there.

This place is really a hidden gem. I've been here around 5 or 6 times and have never been disappointed. Meat is always cooked perfectly, service is great, and they have a great selection. (I took the prime-rib to work today as leftovers and it's still just as good!) I'll be back soon!

During this stay at home order, Urban Grill came to the rescue! I had the best dinner that I've had in a while! They delivered the food within a 1/2 hr. It was delicious! Even the left overs that I heated up in the microwave were great! Thank you Urban Grill for being there when we need you most!! You guys are Rockstars!

The food was absolutely amazing. The restaurant served a good portion of food. I ate it for lunch the next door. I wasn't sure when I drove up, but it was beautiful.

A pleasant surprise. Came in for lunch on a Monday expecting pasta and sandwiches. What I received was a full menu including Alaskan crab legs and prime ribeye steak. I ordered the ribeye and it was cooked beautifully alongside grilled veggies, onion straws and fried. I also ordered an Argentinian Malbec that was served at the perfect temp. My server Raul was present but not overbearing. Great experience.

D
David Da Costa

I have really enjoyed about 95% of the dishes here. Some of my favorites are the fremch toast and dcramble from thr brunch menu, the pork chop, scallops and the Mac and chrese are amazing. I only had an issue with one lamb dish i got being a under seasoned, but otherwise service is great, they have good cocktails and wine selection.

Yo Adrian Sanchez

Our favorite place is the bar with some of the best happy hour food specials in South OC. The staff is friendly, personal, and quick to serve. Kim, the bartender, is amazing at making her own unique concoctions, as well as expert at the traditional selections. Entrees are fantastic, and can take care of any size appetite. Absolutely a 'hidden gem' tucked in the middle of the little retail center with Starbucks on one end and Wahoo's on the other.

C
Cason Grover

Urban is a great, upscale gem in Foothill Ranch. The food is excellent, including the sirloin salad, and the beer list is short but very interesting. The real secret here is that they're very kid-friendly, at least at lunch.

First time visiting this area and Urban Grill came highly recommended by everyone. I was not disappointed at all, Sunday Brunch was delicious, looked just as delicious as it tasted, Bloody Mary's are top notch, staff is polite, helpful and very attentive, I truly look forward to visiting here again soon, would absolutely recommend!

Great food, service, and atmosphere here. There are lots of choices, and options for vegetarians and vegans as well. Definitely give the brussels sprout appetizer a try while you're here!

Shawn Harden

Very pleasant surprise. Restaurant appears to be targeted to the businesses and hotel nearby, but is actually a great place for local residents to check out too. We stu led onto it while visiting family in the area and couldn't be more pleased. Food was perfectly prepared and larger than expected. Service was top notch and super friendly. We will be back next time we are in the neighborhood.

We were visiting from Phoenix and staying at hotel nearby. Walked over and had THE BEST lamb chops ever! Casual atmosphere.. good pleasant service, I asked a few questions about menu and asked for a few things and server was more than freindly and great service. My lamb chopeal was maybe one of the higher cost items but in my opinion cheap for what I got. I gave 2 of my 6 chops to my hubby because I was too full.. he still tells me how good they were, his loaded burger looked pretty good too. Hubby has a whiskey, we also had 2 beers.. ( drinks cost about 30$ total was expected and enjoyed) folks complaining about cost in some of the reviews I saw are rediculous. I wish I could return but it's a thousand miles away.. but I told my daughter and her hubby to go and order the lamb chops!

Kathrine Zoeller

OK, so it is a bit on the pricey side, but it sure is worth every penny. I had one of the best Salmon dinners in my life, with a really tasty risotto. They have an extensive wine list and a very good mixed drink offering. Also, there is some nice craft beers. If you are looking for a great night out, or to celebrate a special occasion, this is a great place to dine.

Timothy Rodgers

What a great neighborhood bistro. The bartender Stacy was awesome, as a friendly companion during lunch as out of towners. Eclectic beer selection, with a solid lunch menu that complimented the dinner menu brilliantly. Next sales trip, we will be going back

K
Kevin Glass

Visited for the holidays and went here multiple times, sometimes for takeout and sometimes dining in. Every time, service was quick and on the mark. In fact, the waiter refilled our waters consistently without us asking. A great hidden gem. Big fan of the calamari, Caesar and ahi tuna salads, the steak, the lamp chops, and the steak sandwich. Highly recommend.

Very cute resturant. It is in walking distance from the Courtyard in Foothall. Server was really nice. Foo was delicious. I had the Lamb chop entree over medium. It came with spinach, nice sauce, potatoes, and roasted tomatoes. The Lemon drop alcohol drink was super good. Very good starter drink for virgin drinkers. Definitely will come back here again.

Matt Ricketts

Amazing food and spectacular service during this strange pandemic time. We ordered their Classic Burgers, obviously to go, and we're told they would be ready in about 15 minutes. Less than 10 minutes later the food was delivered to our car. The food tasted incredible as well. The whole car ride home smelled amazing.

Valerie C.

It's a small restaurant and it doesn't look like much from the outside, because of the business offices around it, but this place is amazing. It's hands down the best steak place and best appetizer place. So delicious! The service is incredible. They're very quick. Just the ambiance is wonderful. I took my dad there for his 64th birthday and New Year's Eve. It's guaranteed very good food no matter what you order. I am willing to take that drive.

V
Vivian Brachmann

The food was fantastic, my filet cooked perfect. My husband had the chili and the meat was so tender and the spices just perfect. The atmosphere, appetizers and wine made for a great evening out. The staff is attentive and quick service. We definitely will be back. Steve & Viv

Went there for a business meeting. Ordered kale and quinoa salad with mango and citrus dressing, mmmm it was gooood!! It was fresh and super crispy. My husband ordered Asparagus Cream Soup and Blackened Shrimp Caesar Salad, he thoroughly enjoyed the soup with bread. Salad was good too. All our business colleagues enjoyed whatever they ordered. Really happy to find a great place near our house. Recommended.

Had a great time with my first visit to Urban grill and wine bar. The atmosphere and service were A+ and the food was fantastic. My favorite was the side dish of Brussels sprouts. This will definitely be on my short list of restaurants, especially if meeting friends for drinks and dinner.

C
Christopher Roman

Essentially the only wine bar anywhere in the area. Quiet, chill and somewhat romantic atmosphere. They have a big menu in addition to their wine offerings. Service was great! Any time I'm looking for a laid back place to grab a glass of wine I'll come here.

M
Matt Goda

This place is a gem. I had the pork chop and have to say that it was excellent. Grilled perfectly and the sauce was excellent. My daughter had the pasta with chicken and it was equally good. We also had a wedge salad and a garden salad which were very tasty and well dressed. Nice selection of craft beers and wines. I had a glass of the Roberts Pinot Noir. Sorry I ate the food before taking a picture. Try this place.

J
James Ballard

This place really is a great place to enjoy a meal! The pricing is good and the food is even better. I've only been a few times, but each time I have gone, the servers were nice and the food tasted delicious. I really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and design/feel of the place. I truly would recommend this to anyone who enjoys good food and wants to have a good time. Your friends will love this place if you recommend it.

Melanie McLean

The meals are amazing! Pork Chops are an out of this world flavor experience! Worth the price every time I have gone. Went a few days ago and everything is very Covid safe... which means you may have to wait a bit during peak times so plan accordingly.

My daughter always orders the pork chop plate because it is her absolute favorite. I tried the lamb chops with steamed spinach and fingerling potatoes. It was exceptional. I had the white and milk chocolate bread pudding—another excellent choice for dessert.

Outstanding food and service. Expensive yes, but again you get what you pay for. Cocktails are inventive and taste well. Atmosphere is nice for a place this small. I consider it an insider tip, go try it out. Money well spend

Delicious food. Brunch menu pork and eggs. It came with a chef special sauce and it was one of the best sauces I've ever had. It was not spicy but the flavor was out of this world. I had to ask for more to take home.

Urban Grill has some of the most hardest working employees. Hands down this restaurant took no time to modify how they do service in the times of covid. They not only had to change fast they helped the community with offering groceries and survival boxes. You truly want to support them in return. And if you love fish I highly recommend their Fresh fish on Fridays they are the best and so fresh. Thank you Urban Grill

Urban grill is a great local gathering place to meet up for happy hour and tapas, as well as being able to enjoy a true culinary experience for a family gathering or a romantic date night and everything in between! It’s one of the best local restaurants around and in a central location, good people, and surrounded by the stunning landscape of our lovely community! Parking lot is fairly small but the majority of the surrounding businesses close between 6-7pm and then ample parking available! For visitors, if staying at the nearby Marriott, Urban Grill is walking distance and I highly encourage you to stop off for a drink, a small plate, and if the mood strikes, have a gastronomical experience! Enjoy!

I came here for lunch and for dinner. I was satisfied both times, trying a sandwich with meat and a "simple" shrimp caesar. Taste was great and quantity was on point to be happy at the end of the meal. Staff will look after you greatly.

Christy Ballard

We always have a wonderful time at Urban Grill and Wine Bar, and last night was no exception. We love that it's a local place with friendly and attentive service. Our server, Holly, remembered us and our drinks, and she even remembered that we like to take our time before ordering. As small business owners ourselves, we appreciate the importance of making customers feel valued and remembered. I had the sea bass special, which was paired with an amazing raspberry sauce. The sea bass was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was the perfect complement. I always hope that the special is halibut or sea bass, because they always do a fantastic job of preparing these fish in different ways. We will definitely be back to Urban Grill and Wine Bar, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal and excellent service.

OMG!!! and I am very particular. This place is OUTSTANDING in all aspects. Just had their special with a nice glass of wine. The best Chilean sea bass I’ve ever had in my life! I’ve had this in many states before including Florida and Calif just to name a few but this was/is by far the best ever! Prepared to perfection with a mango-pineapple sauce on top of amazing mashed potato/baby broccoli spears. Ate every bite. Perfect sized portion for dining alone. I will be back soon and will tell all my friends who live in SoCal. If traveling as I’m doing, it’s a must stop by kind of place.

Burger was impressively sized and looked great. Ordered medium well, showed up well done (no pink, a little dry). I think the patty was some kind of blend with added ingredients, but not sure. I couldn't finish it, it was so huge. It was good, though. Flavors were there. Fries were crispy and delicious. Calamari was the star, highly recommend it. Came with two sauces, one I didn't like, the other I did. I would come back.

Nice little casual dining spot. Good menu selection of western food. I heard great things about the flatbread and the lettuce wrap so we ordered this. They didn't disappoint. The Thai chicken flatbread had a very tasty sauce and was large enough for a second meal. It tasted even better on day 2. The lettuce was also very fresh and wasn't too saucy. When the mixture is too saucy it can be a messy experience but this one wasn't that. Beverages were generously poured (at least wine) and cocktails were a little on the pricey side for a small glass with a lot of ice. Atmosphere and ambiance is okay (nothing too unique). They have a bar / pub area integrated with the dining section. Even though the restaurant is located in a plaza, parking could be challenging at times. So, just be aware that certain times of days may be hard to park. Service was excellent.

(Update 4/12/23 still excellent service. 4th time I have been here to get my favorite Drink that is available on their website but is never available when I'm here. So disappointing ) **Original review** Excellent, very unique cocktails! Chicken Lettuce wraps, and scallops plates are excellent! Like most things in life... It's all about the little details that distinguish good enough and wow! This little restaurant is tucked away in a very nondescript strip mall. Delivers all the correct information! Excellent customer service, food, and drinks!

Terri Molina McDonald

The food was delicious. I had the filet mignon and just tender and spiced perfectly. The only problem we had was our waitress was evidently new to the trade. She had tattoos up and down both arms and it gave us all the skeivys. It would have been nice if she would have had on long sleeves. Also she broke a cork into a bottle of wine and tried to sift it into a carafe. There was wine all over the table and only after we insisted she get another bottle was this taken care of. We had reservations for dining outside but we had to go inside because the reservations were not right. We ended up sitting inside and it was fine as we had a table in a back corner with no one around. It, despite having an untrained waitress was excellent dining.

I had a steak. It was cooked perfectly. The potatoes were delicious. My veggies were cooked perfectly too. No one like mushy veggies, they had a nice crunch. Also enjoyed a cup of French onion soup.

Great food, wide variety, fresh and delicious. And it's even outdone by an excellent wine list. I live this place. I travel to this area regularly and deliberately stay in Foothill Ranch so I can come here. It has a chill low-key atmosphere, great staff, and even has a couple TVs to catch a Monday Night Football game after a long day of travel. Burger is fresh ground meat and is delicious with nice mound of fried onion strings. Filet Mignon is delicious. Ahi tuna is delicious (and spicy). Did I mention the wine? Great list, lots of options for by the glass of above average wines at decent price points. They're not outrageous prices, but not cheap. It's the price of good quality food. Entrées are in the $25 range, with a couple burgers/sandwiches for about $15.

Busy little place. I suggest making reservations well ahead of time. I had the lettuce wraps as this place is NOT cheap. However, the dish was very good and a good size, the atmosphere was lively and the service was good.

Great food, excellent food, and fabulous pairings. Great environment but parking is horrible when it's busy. I don't usually let servers pick wines for me as I tend to stick to budget at wine bars and when I do let others pick fit me, my budget is blown out of the water. It's happened to me twice here, but that's on me, not them! Truth is they have great wines though not a lot of old grapes, which are my faves. They really, really love their California wines and I wish they were a bit more adventurous with their regions, but overall a nice place.

G
Greg Haines

The food was great as usual. However, the service was just meh. One of our guest said she was allergic to Tomatoes. The waiter acknowledged it and said she could pick them out of the dish. When the dish came, there was no way to just pick them out. Sub par service for the prices.

Nice spot and really good wine selection. We all ordered pasta and it was good but not memorable. I was told by others who have been here that their strongpoint is definitely not pastas. Great ambience, very attentive staff otherwise.

What a strange place this was. Advertised as a Grill and Wine Bar… felt closer to an outdated sushi restaurant. The food was OK at best. It felt like there were conflicting vibes

Great fish and chips, perfectly cooked. Only point I take out were the lukewarm fries (which were still very good, I just like them hot!). Service was absolutely spot on.

Pleasantly surprised. Tasty food and great service at lunch time. Fairly small but wasn't crowded. We got chicken lettuce wraps, Mac n cheese, crab cakes, and a side of blackened shrimp. Skip the lettuce wraps. Nothing wrong with them, there was just nothing particularly enjoyable about them. The chicken mix comes with peanuts already and there's a side of peanut sauce, so it basically just tastes like peanuts. Again, not bad but not worth taking a spot in your order. The crab cakes were awesome. Great flavor and a tasty sauce/jam underneath with some pickled veg on the side. The Mac n cheese was good, smoky flavor and you can never go wrong with prosciutto. Then we ordered a side of just the blackened shrimp they use for a salad. We should have asked for a bowl of them, they were so delicious that I'm definitely ordering them in some form next time, perfectly seasoned and blackened, still tender and really just delightful. So all that plus a kid meal, 2 soft drinks refilled once a piece, bill came out to 75 bucks. Really enjoyed checking this place out and will stop in again for lunch or dinner for sure.

Do you like hole-in-the-wall restaurants, with really good food and wine? I do… and found another one with Urban Grill and Win Bar. We enjoyed Mediterranean chicken and scallops and asparagus. Restaurant hidden in a corporate park/strip mall. Service was outstanding and friendly. Looking forward to my next trip, to visit again.

Friendly waitress remembered us from last visit, which was a while back. The food is okay to better than okay in general. Miniature patio/outside seating is enjoyable after the crowds have receded. Good beers on tap, chili, excellent au gratin potatoes. Don't get lettuce wraps if you've ever had lettuce wraps that you enjoyed. Heavy odor of mildew mop water ruins the inside dining area. Like a small town diner dreamt of growing up and did so, but didn't go to college. I like it alright. Not for the foodies, hungry fat guys, young girls, fussy eaters. Good for middle-aged lady wine drinking parties. I'll probably return for the potatoes, to the dismay of my company.

I went for the "brunch" but they did not really have an offering for brunch, with only 5 items on the brunch menu. I got the lettuce wrap and the California Omelette and a house chopped salad. The salad and lettuce wrap was not my taste. Salad was too sour while the lettuce wrap was too spicy. I prefer lettuce wrap with a bit of sweetness to it to fit the taste of lettuce. The California Omelette was decent, but other places make better ones.

Crowded, loud and overpriced if you are looking for that atmosphere. Good food though. Go to the Italian place right next door. Same owner. Great food. Fair priced. You can have a conversation.

Amazing service, drinks and the fish and chips were good. However, the Blackened Ahi salad was one of the most disappointing, gross, overpriced salads I’ve had in awhile. Dressing was oily with zero taste, Ahi was chewy, barely any toppings with greasy, limp fried onions and peanuts. Leaves had black marks all over it. Could’ve definitely gone to target and gotten their salad for half the cost but double the taste. Everything else was good tho! Go for drinks and anything else!

Food isn’t as good here as it was 5+ years ago. Shoestring Fries were always a hit but this last time the fries weren’t done like ‘the usual’ way. No salt, soggy, tasteless. Had the ahi tuna tar tar. Way over seasoned. Raw tuna wasn’t fresh.

Was one of the best places to eat in the area but changed with management, Covid or both. Ordered a "special" family meal for NYE and it wasn't good. I Called a few days later but no response. Closed on Sundays /Mondays as well. Update: I received a poorly received response from Kimberly at Urban. Not what you'd expect to receive from a review. She did give me a bunch of excuses for their issues and claimed to have sent me a refund but it was never received. Sad to say that nothing was resolved. I've had good experiences there and several good waitresses, just this one experience was negative and Kimberly didn't help.

Patty Grace McKee

It's a decent place but the food had very little flavor. The tomato bisque with chicken was described as similar to a chicken tortilla soup. Neither of us thought it was even a distant cousin and the promised "kick" tasted like good ol' vinegar based Louisiana hot sauce. The streak sandwich was tender enough but again, no flavor. We got the apple cobbler and it was a lit of oatmeal crumb topping with just a small amount of apples. Very small portion of cobbler. Try a different dessert. Friendly waiter but not overly attentive considering it was a light crowd. Bit disappointed.

I have been to Urban Grill and a few times now. All excellent experiences and service. Top notch service! However, this last visit was disappointing. I ordered the chicken lettuce wraps. The lettuce was warm, wilted and dirty! Like, literal dirt on each piece. I had to rinse all of it. I used one lettuce leaf and just ate the chicken filling with a fork. The 2 sauces they provide? Amazing! Although, barely any in the containers. I also ordered the sweet chili brussel sprouts. Flavor? Delicious! But, they were drowning in the chili sauce. Couldn't eat more that 3 pieces. I also ordered a Creme Brulee. SO good! The staff are attentive and super friendly.

I don’t know how this place charges what it charges. The filet mignon 8 oz is $60. This is the same price as Mastros and other near-high end steakhouses. My friend had the Prime Rib and he said it was fair. I ordered the lamb chops. They were passable, but the spinach was greasy and flavorless. A side dog asparagus was smothered pure oil. Only the cheese plate and caprese salad were good. Those don’t really require cooking. At their prices, the ambiance and food needs to be much better. With non alcoholic drinks, one appetizer for two, a salad, and entree without dessert it was about $80-90 per person. Not worth the price. It’s about Urban plates (small chain) quality at Mastros prices.

We decided to try this place based on the great reviews. We either went on a bad night or the restaurant has went downhill. I made reservations through OpenTable and as soon as we sat down I had a feeling we weren’t going to have a good dinner. The table was very wobbly. They sat us under a cooking vent from a previous restaurant. It took around 20 mins to get our drinks out to us. The drinks were amazing. We got the hidden agenda and it’s pretty much a spicy take on an old fashioned. We ordered the scallops as an appetizer and we only received two scallops, yes only 2 when it’s a 21 dollar appetizer. We thought it was maybe a mistake and we asked the waitress how many scallops the appetizer normally comes with and her response was two! We almost wanted to end the dinner and leave after those drinks and appetizer but we decided to give them another chance and order dinner. I was wondering what the catch of the day was, the waitress was telling the other tables what the catch of the day was but not our table… My lady ordered the blackened ahi and I got the Australian lamb chops. My lady did not like her blackened ahi at all and was too embarrassed to send her food back. Instead of the ahi being blackened it was extremely sweet, like agave syrup sweet. Also the veggies weren’t cooked, cold inside. My lamb chops were good but cooked to the medium I asked. The potatoes weren’t cooked and the spinach was very soggy because there was way too much olive oil. I hardly ate any of it. Looks like from the previous reviews that they place has new owners. New owners most likely trying to cut cost due to a new acquisition and they own other restaurants. We won’t be back. Only maybe if they have happy hour and get drinks and a burger.

Stayed at the Marriott across the parking lot, really excited since it’s walking distance away. Disappointing. Ordered the chicken artichoke fettuccini, was looking forward to the pasta which is made in house. It was too thick and weirdly curly, didn’t taste fresh. The artichokes weren’t prepared right, extremely fibrous. Tiny pieces of chicken, slightly smaller than dress shirt buttons. Wine was good.

Service was almost nonexistent and without apology. Three out of five of us had something wrong with our order (missing sauce, missing syrup, no cream with coffee and by the time the sorry waitress brought it the coffee was cold and had to wait for another coffee.). The food was good, though. But the service was so poor that our first visit became our last one.

The food was fine (we just had appetizers). The prices for apps were a little high but the biggest issue was service. At 8:45pm they started blasting the music from the bar indicating we should leave. When we went outside, others were saying how they basically felt chased out by their server.

Other than Tannis everything was not right. Happy hour vodka at $6 is reasonable assuming you get more than one sip. I got two drinks @ $ 12 and not equivalent to a normal drink. The chili was served called with out the desired onions and cheese requested also more broth than meat and beans. After returned, it came back as requested and was good. Though the server ran away and I had to request for a spoon. The salad was to be served with pecans there were none and also sweet and soggy. The grilled cheese sandwich had no cheese. The fish and chips were soggy as if they were made with frozen fish. I had to request for lemons and vinegar. Also I had to request for silverware. Knowing what took place you would think that the restaurant would make some accommodation. Nope.

Service below average, the food we had was below average ( fish and chips which was recommended by our server) and the Ahi Salad, over priced too for such an establishment. Would not visit again and don’t recommend it to anyone.

Wish I could give LESS than ONE STAR! My guy and I *tried* to go to Urban Wine Bar & Grill on a Thursday afternoon for a couple of cocktails. What a mistake! He arrived a couple minutes before me and ordered both of our drinks. He was told “only one drink per person” even though I was just parking the car. They would not make my drink until I was seated at the bar. My drink was vodka-based, the “Hot & Bothered” and I prefer Tito’s. We were informed there are no substitutions. HUH??!! We also ordered another cocktail, “Tina’s New Rac” and asked that it be served over ice. We were told “We don’t serve that drink over ice because the ice will melt and water down the drink.” True. But we wanted it over ice. The bartender (who apparently has worked there for ten years and has “tons of regulars”) couldn’t be bothered with us. We were the ONLY people in the place. ZERO regulars were in attendance on Thursday evening for happy hour. Holly, the server, was equally sour and put off at our request to pay with Apple Pay. “Our system is old,” she quipped. “Sorry.” Despite visiting Urban Wine Bar & Grill several times previously and enjoying cocktails and small bites, we WILL NOT be returning. We left feeling that we were a complete inconvenience to the staff. The sour taste in my mouth even more bitter than my “Hot & Bothered.” Good luck.

Really a nice restaurant (in terms of atmosphere). Too bad it is tainted by poor customer service. I guess for the kinda money these guys are asking for, they can be snobby. $42.00 for pork chops? Better be the WAGYU of pork. Aside from the prices, their service was HORRIBLE. I came in just to have a beer and check out the menu. I count 6 employees. And I had to ASK someone if I could get a beer. I was happy to see a VERY nice selection on the menu... but the prices are like those of SUPER NICE RESTAURANTS IN LAS VEGAS. And Las Vegas quality? I'm guessing FAR FROM IT. But FOR DAMN SURE... I will not spend my money here... just because of POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. I am actually adding this part on to my original review SPECIFICALLY because of a what the female bartender said when I tried to pay and leave. As I sat at the bar with both my wallet and $20.00 bill in my hand, the bartender was cleaning/tidying things up. I even made eye contact with the "bar-back" who was just standing in place doing nothing but look at me, then back over to the bartender. So when I had to ASK someone if I could pay for my beer, the rude, unhelpful, female bartender came up to me and said the beer is on them and to, "Never come back"... GO BACK? NEVER!!! TELL ALL OF MY CUSTOMERS, FAMILY, AND FRIENDS ABOUT MY THIS PLACES POOR SERVICE & RIDICULOUS PRICES? EVERY DAY... LAST NOTE- I even went as far to read what ther OTHER LOW REVIEWS stated. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE is absolutely killing this nicely apointed restaurant. And from those other reviews, I think the common denominator is the bartender and waiter who have been there for a long time.

Ever heard of a place that won't give you a small sample of the draft beer they offer that you've never tasted before? No one that I've asked does. Urban Grill won't. They gave me a sample of their $10 per pint beer. I bought a pint. They wouldn't give me a sample of their $12 per pint beer. Are they stupid? Yes. They said they don't give samples of that beer because it's too expensive. I know there's no markup on beer (😏😜). If they can't give a sample of an unknown beer then they shouldn't be selling it. Food is really good but they've gotten expensive, especially for single shot drinks. They're getting greedy. Too bad. UPDATE: Here again tonight (my girlfriend wanted to go there for her birthday, figured I'd give them another chance). Got a TINY sample of the Blue Manchu beer. It was really good so I ordered one. Same story as our last visit with the next beer, when I asked for a sample of that beer, they said they don't give samples of that draft beer. REALLY? Maybe they only give samples of the first beer you want to try and then buy. If it hadn't been my girlfriend's birthday, I would have walked out. Seems moronic to me that they can't give a customer spending $150 a 1 ounce sample of one of their beers. I've NEVER been anywhere that won't give you a sample of one of their craft beers. I'll spend my $150 somewhere else next time. They've gotten GREEDY! Too bad.

Service was horrendous. We have been there many times before the change of management and it was one of our favorite places to eat. NOT ANYMORE. Firstly, the first server could not speak English, then secondly server was terrible, he took our drinks order and disappeared for 25mins; then we had to find him 20mins later to order food. 45 mins later he come back and asks if we would like food still waiting for one of the drinks. If I could give zero stars I would!!! There were also two other table where they ordered drinks and meals that never came, or when finally served the food was wrong and tables waiting 20-30 Mins for there credit card and receipt to come back. Whats unfortunate is there were only 4 tables to serve!!! Our drink and food never arrived and we ended up leaving without eating. We won’t be coming back.

Worst restaurant experience I’ve had in quite some time. I was seated in the bar area and sat there for about 20 minutes while employee after employee walked by without acknowledging me. I finally got up to leave and asked the hostess if anyone was going to assist me. She looked around and said she would find someone—though she was also one of the employees who had walked by during that time. Maybe it was because it was Valentine’s Day and I was dining solo, but either way, there’s no excuse for that level of service—especially with the prices they charge. Any one of those employees should have noticed a customer who hadn’t been helped and taken ownership, but none did. That says a lot about the culture and accountability. I won’t be back, and I’ll be sure to share my experience with others.

Waitress said, Be right with you. Then only worked the one 4 top in the place. I walked out after she acknowledged me, but continued to ignore me, for 15 minutes. Pretty sad, I was the only table other than the 4 top. Just because I am alone, and not drinking alcohol, no table should be ignored.

Guía de Urban Grill & Wine Bar

# Urban Grill & Wine Bar: Un Refugio Culinario en el Corazón de Lake Forest

Lake Forest, una joya en el condado de Orange, California, se distingue por su equilibrio entre la sofisticación suburbana y la belleza natural. En este entorno, donde las comunidades planificadas se entrelazan con extensas áreas verdes y un estilo de vida activo, emerge un destino gastronómico que captura la esencia de la vida moderna: Urban Grill & Wine Bar. Este establecimiento no es solo un lugar para comer, sino una experiencia que combina la maestría culinaria con un ambiente refinado y accesible, convirtiéndose en un punto de referencia para los amantes del buen vivir en la región.

Lake Forest: Un Entorno de Elegancia y Naturaleza

Para comprender plenamente el atractivo de Urban Grill & Wine Bar, es fundamental sumergirse en el contexto de Lake Forest, la ciudad que lo acoge. Ubicada en el sur del condado de Orange, Lake Forest es conocida por sus paisajes pintorescos, sus excelentes escuelas y su vibrante comunidad. La ciudad, que se incorporó en 1991, ha crecido hasta convertirse en un modelo de planificación urbana, ofreciendo a sus residentes una alta calidad de vida y una gran cantidad de servicios y comodidades.

Historia y Desarrollo de Lake Forest

Originalmente parte de la vasta Rancho Cañada de los Alisos, la tierra que hoy ocupa Lake Forest fue una vez un paisaje de ranchos y huertos. A mediados del siglo XX, la zona comenzó a transformarse con el desarrollo de comunidades residenciales. El nombre "Lake Forest" se adoptó por primera vez en 1960, haciendo referencia a los dos lagos artificiales y los miles de árboles de eucalipto que se plantaron para crear un ambiente distintivo y sombreado. Esta visión de integrar la naturaleza con la vida moderna ha sido una constante en el desarrollo de la ciudad.

La incorporación de Lake Forest como ciudad en 1991 marcó un hito, permitiendo a sus residentes tener un mayor control sobre su desarrollo y servicios. Desde entonces, la ciudad ha florecido, atrayendo a familias y profesionales que buscan un estilo de vida equilibrado, con acceso a la naturaleza, excelentes infraestructuras y una comunidad acogedora.

Geografía y Clima

Lake Forest disfruta de una ubicación privilegiada en el sur de California. Se encuentra estratégicamente situada entre las estribaciones de las montañas de Santa Ana al este y la costa del Pacífico al oeste. Esta geografía le otorga un clima mediterráneo templado, caracterizado por veranos cálidos y secos, e inviernos suaves y húmedos. La brisa marina ocasional ayuda a moderar las temperaturas, creando un ambiente agradable durante la mayor parte del año.

La ciudad es un verdadero oasis verde, con numerosos parques, senderos y espacios abiertos. El famoso Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park, una vasta reserva natural, ofrece kilómetros de rutas de senderismo y ciclismo, permitiendo a los residentes y visitantes conectar con la flora y fauna autóctonas de California. Esta abundancia de espacios naturales contribuye a un estilo de vida activo y al aire libre, muy valorado en la comunidad.

La Vida en Lake Forest: Un Mosaico de Estilos

La población de Lake Forest es diversa, aunque predominantemente compuesta por familias y profesionales. La ciudad es atractiva para aquellos que buscan un ambiente seguro, con excelentes opciones educativas y una fuerte cohesión comunitaria. Los barrios están bien mantenidos, con calles arboladas y una mezcla de viviendas unifamiliares, casas adosadas y condominios que se adaptan a diferentes necesidades y presupuestos.

El estilo de vida en Lake Forest se caracteriza por su enfoque en la calidad de vida. Hay una gran cantidad de actividades recreativas disponibles, desde ligas deportivas juveniles hasta clubes de senderismo y eventos comunitarios. Los centros comerciales locales ofrecen una amplia gama de tiendas, restaurantes y servicios, asegurando que los residentes tengan todo lo que necesitan a su alcance. La ciudad también se enorgullece de su compromiso con la sostenibilidad y la preservación de sus recursos naturales.

Urban Grill & Wine Bar: Un Destino Gastronómico por Descubrir

En este contexto de sofisticación suburbana y aprecio por la calidad, Urban Grill & Wine Bar se erige como un faro de la gastronomía. Ubicado en el corazón de Lake Forest, con coordenadas 33.6713035, -117.6529374 que lo sitúan convenientemente para residentes y visitantes por igual, este establecimiento encarna la fusión de la cocina contemporánea con un ambiente acogedor y elegante.

El Concepto: Donde la Parrilla se Encuentra con la Vid

El nombre "Urban Grill & Wine Bar" es una declaración de intenciones. Sugiere una experiencia culinaria arraigada en la tradición de la parrilla, con un enfoque en carnes y productos frescos de alta calidad, complementada por una selecta carta de vinos. La palabra "Urban" en un entorno como Lake Forest insinúa una modernidad y una sofisticación que, aunque se asocian a menudo con las grandes ciudades, se ha adaptado perfectamente al estilo de vida elevado de esta comunidad.

El restaurante se posiciona como un lugar donde los comensales pueden disfrutar de platos robustos y sabrosos, preparados con técnicas expertas, en un ambiente que invita tanto a la celebración como a la relajación. Es un espacio diseñado para aquellos que aprecian la buena comida, el buen vino y la buena compañía.

Un Ambiente que Cautiva

Al entrar en Urban Grill & Wine Bar, uno esperaría ser recibido por una atmósfera que equilibra la elegancia moderna con un toque de calidez y hospitalidad. La decoración probablemente fusiona elementos industriales chic con detalles rústicos y naturales, creando un espacio visualmente atractivo y confortable. Maderas oscuras, metales pulidos, iluminación ambiental y quizás toques de arte contemporáneo podrían definir su estética, reflejando su nombre "Urban" en un sentido estético.

Las áreas de comedor estarían diseñadas para ofrecer tanto intimidad para cenas románticas o reuniones de negocios, como espacios más abiertos para grupos y celebraciones. La zona del bar, central en la experiencia, sería un punto focal vibrante, ideal para disfrutar de un aperitivo antes de la cena o para una velada más informal. La música ambiental, cuidadosamente seleccionada, contribuiría a crear una atmósfera sofisticada pero no pretenciosa.

La Filosofía Culinaria: Pasión por la Parrilla y los Ingredientes Frescos

En el corazón de Urban Grill & Wine Bar late una profunda pasión por la cocina a la parrilla. Esto implica un compromiso con la selección de los mejores cortes de carne, desde suculentos filetes hasta costillas tiernas, todos cocinados a la perfección para resaltar sus sabores naturales. La parrilla, como técnica culinaria, permite que los ingredientes brillen, creando texturas crujientes por fuera y jugosas por dentro.

Sin embargo, la oferta culinaria de un Grill & Wine Bar moderno iría más allá de las carnes. Es probable que el menú incluya una variada selección de mariscos frescos a la parrilla, aves de corral y opciones vegetarianas innovadoras, asegurando que haya algo para todos los paladares. Los acompañamientos, desde vegetales de temporada hasta patatas gratinadas o purés cremosos, serían preparados con la misma atención al detalle y la calidad.

La filosofía de Urban Grill & Wine Bar se basaría en la frescura y la calidad de los ingredientes. En una región como el sur de California, con su abundancia de productos agrícolas y acceso a mariscos del Pacífico, el restaurante buscaría obtener los mejores insumos, priorizando proveedores locales siempre que sea posible. Esto no solo garantiza la calidad y el sabor, sino que también apoya a la comunidad y reduce la huella de carbono.

La Experiencia del Vino: Un Maridaje Perfecto

El "Wine Bar" en el nombre no es una mera adición, sino una parte integral de la identidad del establecimiento. Urban Grill & Wine Bar se enorgullecería de su extensa y cuidadosamente curada carta de vinos, diseñada para complementar a la perfección su propuesta gastronómica.

La selección incluiría una amplia gama de vinos de California, destacando las prestigiosas regiones vinícolas del estado, como Napa Valley, Sonoma y Paso Robles. Además, se esperaría una representación de vinos internacionales, abarcando clásicos de Francia, Italia, España y otras regiones vitivinícolas de renombre mundial. Desde tintos robustos que maridan a la perfección con carnes a la parrilla, hasta blancos frescos y espumosos ideales para aperitivos o mariscos, la carta ofrecería opciones para cada gusto y ocasión.

Un sommelier o personal con conocimientos en vinos estaría disponible para guiar a los comensales a través de la carta, ofreciendo recomendaciones personalizadas y sugerencias de maridaje que realcen la experiencia culinaria. Las degustaciones de vino, los vuelos de vino y la opción de pedir vino por copa también serían características clave, permitiendo a los clientes explorar nuevas etiquetas y expandir sus horizontes vinícolas.

Servicio Impecable y Atención al Detalle

La experiencia en Urban Grill & Wine Bar se completaría con un servicio de primera clase. El personal estaría capacitado para ser atento, profesional y conocedor, anticipándose a las necesidades de los comensales sin ser intrusivo. Desde el momento en que se cruza la puerta hasta la despedida, cada interacción estaría diseñada para que el cliente se sienta valorado y bien atendido.

La atención al detalle se extendería a todos los aspectos de la experiencia, desde la presentación de los platos hasta la limpieza del establecimiento y la eficiencia en el servicio. Este compromiso con la excelencia es lo que distingue a un restaurante de calidad y lo convierte en un destino recurrente para sus clientes.

Ocasiones y Eventos

Urban Grill & Wine Bar sería el escenario perfecto para una variedad de ocasiones. Sería ideal para:

  • Cenas Románticas: Un ambiente íntimo y sofisticado para parejas.
  • Cenas de Negocios: Un entorno profesional pero relajado, con un menú que impresiona.
  • Celebraciones Especiales: Cumpleaños, aniversarios o graduaciones, donde la buena comida y el vino realzan el evento.
  • Veladas Informales: Disfrutar de aperitivos y vino en el bar después del trabajo.
  • Eventos Privados: El restaurante podría ofrecer espacios para eventos corporativos o reuniones familiares, con menús personalizados y servicio exclusivo.

Además, no sería raro que Urban Grill & Wine Bar organizara eventos especiales, como catas de vino con bodegas específicas, noches de maridaje o cenas temáticas, enriqueciendo aún más la oferta cultural y gastronómica de Lake Forest.

Información Práctica para el Visitante

Para aquellos que deseen experimentar Urban Grill & Wine Bar, la ubicación en Lake Forest (coordenadas 33.6713035, -117.6529374) lo hace accesible desde las principales arterias de la ciudad. Dada su naturaleza de establecimiento de calidad, se recomendaría hacer reservas, especialmente durante los fines de semana o para grupos grandes, para asegurar la disponibilidad.

El horario de funcionamiento probablemente se enfocaría en las cenas, aunque no sería inusual que ofrecieran servicio de almuerzo en días laborables. En cuanto al estacionamiento, siendo un establecimiento en Lake Forest, es razonable esperar que disponga de amplias opciones de aparcamiento en las inmediaciones.

Conclusión: Un Pilar de la Escena Gastronómica de Lake Forest

Urban Grill & Wine Bar es más que un restaurante; es una encarnación del refinamiento gastronómico en el corazón de Lake Forest. Ofrece una experiencia culinaria que celebra la maestría de la parrilla y la riqueza del vino, todo ello en un ambiente que es a la vez moderno y acogedor.

El perfil demográfico de Lake Forest está compuesto principalmente por familias, jóvenes profesionales y personas que buscan un estilo de vida de alta calidad. Es un destino popular para aquellos que valoran la seguridad, las excelentes oportunidades educativas y un fuerte sentido de comunidad. La ciudad atrae a profesionales que trabajan en las diversas industrias del condado de Orange y más allá, buscando un hogar tranquilo donde criar a sus hijos o disfrutar de un ambiente pacífico después de un día de trabajo. La presencia de parques y actividades recreativas también la hace atractiva para jubilados activos que desean mantener un estilo de vida saludable y conectado con la naturaleza.

3. MERCADO INMOBILIARIO: Diversidad y Opciones de Calidad

El mercado inmobiliario de Lake Forest es dinámico y ofrece una variedad de opciones para diferentes necesidades y presupuestos, aunque generalmente se inclina hacia el segmento medio-alto y alto.

  • Tipos de Vivienda: Predominan las viviendas unifamiliares, muchas de ellas ubicadas en comunidades planificadas con acceso a servicios como piscinas, clubes y canchas deportivas. También hay una buena selección de casas adosadas (townhouses) y condominios, que ofrecen una opción más asequible o de bajo mantenimiento, ideal para jóvenes profesionales, parejas o personas mayores.
  • Estilos Arquitectónicos: Se pueden encontrar diversos estilos, desde el tradicional californiano y el mediterráneo hasta diseños contemporáneos más modernos. Muchas propiedades cuentan con amplios jardines y están bien mantenidas.
  • Rango de Precios: Aunque no se proporcionaron datos específicos, Lake Forest, como parte del condado de Orange, es conocida por tener precios de vivienda por encima del promedio nacional. Las casas unifamiliares pueden variar significativamente según el tamaño, la ubicación y las comodidades, pero generalmente comienzan en el rango de los $800,000 y pueden superar los $2 millones para propiedades más grandes o de lujo. Los condominios y casas adosadas suelen ser más accesibles, comenzando a menudo en el rango de los $400,000 a $700,000. El mercado de alquiler también es competitivo, con precios que reflejan la alta demanda y la calidad de vida de la zona.

4. TRANSPORTE: Conectividad y Accesibilidad

Lake Forest goza de una excelente conectividad, lo que facilita los desplazamientos dentro del condado de Orange y hacia otras regiones:

  • Acceso a Autopistas: La ciudad está estratégicamente ubicada cerca de importantes autopistas como la I-5 (Santa Ana Freeway) y la CA-241 (Foothill Transportation Corridor), lo que permite un acceso relativamente rápido a los principales centros de empleo y entretenimiento del condado de Orange, así como a San Diego y Los Ángeles.
  • Transporte Público: Aunque no cuenta con una conexión de metro directa, el sistema de autobuses de Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) brinda servicio en toda la ciudad, conectando a los residentes con centros comerciales, escuelas y otras comunidades.
  • Distancia al Centro: Lake Forest no tiene un "centro" tradicional en el sentido de una gran ciudad. Sin embargo, se encuentra a una distancia razonable de los principales centros de negocios del condado de Orange, como Irvine (aproximadamente 15-20 minutos en coche) y Santa Ana (aproximadamente 25-30 minutos). La costa, con sus hermosas playas, también está a unos 20-30 minutos.
  • Aeropuertos: El Aeropuerto John Wayne (SNA) está a unos 20-25 minutos en coche, ofreciendo vuelos nacionales e internacionales. Los aeropuertos de Los Ángeles (LAX) y San Diego (SAN) están a aproximadamente una hora o más, dependiendo del tráfico.

5. SERVICIOS: Infraestructura Completa para el Bienestar

Lake Forest se enorgullece de su infraestructura de servicios, diseñada para satisfacer todas las necesidades de sus residentes:

  • Colegios: La ciudad forma parte del prestigioso Distrito Escolar Unificado de Saddleback Valley (SVUSD), conocido por sus escuelas de alta calidad, que incluyen excelentes escuelas primarias, secundarias y preparatorias. Esto es un gran atractivo para las familias con niños.
  • Hospitales y Atención Médica: Si bien Lake Forest no tiene un hospital de agudos dentro de sus límites exactos, está muy cerca de varios hospitales y centros médicos de renombre en ciudades vecinas, como el MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center en Laguna Hills y el Hoag Hospital Irvine, asegurando un acceso rápido a atención médica de primer nivel. Además, hay numerosas clínicas, consultorios médicos y centros de atención de urgencia en la ciudad.
  • Supermercados y Comercios: La ciudad cuenta con una abundancia de supermercados (como Ralphs, Albertsons, Stater Bros., Trader Joe's) y centros comerciales que ofrecen una amplia gama de tiendas minoristas, restaurantes y servicios. El "Foothill Ranch Towne Centre" y el "Lake Forest Gateway Center" son solo algunos ejemplos de las opciones comerciales disponibles.
  • Gimnasios y Recreación: Hay numerosos gimnasios y centros de fitness disponibles, incluyendo cadenas nacionales y estudios locales. Además, los parques y centros comunitarios ofrecen instalaciones deportivas, clases y programas para todas las edades. El Lake Forest Sports Park es un complejo deportivo de última generación.

6. AMBIENTE: Seguridad, Vida al Aire Libre y Tranquilidad

El ambiente en Lake Forest es uno de sus mayores atractivos:

  • Seguridad Percibida: La ciudad es consistentemente clasificada como una de las más seguras en California y en el país. Esto contribuye en gran medida a la tranquilidad de sus residentes y a la sensación de comunidad.
  • Vida Nocturna: Lake Forest no es conocida por una vida nocturna vibrante al estilo de una gran metrópolis. Sin embargo, cuenta con una creciente selección de restaurantes de calidad, bares y pubs que ofrecen opciones para cenas y copas. La vida nocturna más animada se encuentra en ciudades cercanas como Irvine o la costa.
  • Zonas Verdes: Este es uno de los puntos fuertes de Lake Forest. La ciudad está salpicada de parques bien mantenidos, senderos para caminar y andar en bicicleta. Destacan el Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park, que ofrece extensas rutas de senderismo y ciclismo en un entorno natural impresionante, y el Lake Forest Sports Park, con amplias instalaciones deportivas. La presencia de los lagos artificiales originales añade un toque pintoresco al paisaje.
