I ordered the grass fed beef with chimchurri sauce, Rosemary potatoes, beets & carrots. The meal looked good & the vegetables were delicious. However my piece of meat was very difficult to chew & some portions totally unchewable. It looked good & the taste was good but portions were like rubber. Weird.. This was my first time eating here so hopefully just a one-off situation.
Rosendo makes Urban Plates a 5 star place. He is professional, on top of it, helpful and considerate. He is the type of employee that would make the owners proud!! I will be coming back because he offered such exceptional service. The food and atmosphere are fantastic too.
This is one of my favorite lunch spots in Thousand Oaks. All organic food and all gourmet. Cafeteria style and the manager is such a nice guy. Everything on the menu is good. My wife and kids love it here also. You have to give it a try.
Healthy food, stellar options, lively environment and immaculate flavors. Urban plates never lets me down as a go to spot for food that fresh and filling. My go to is the chimichurri Grass Fed Steak with asparagus and roasted rainbow carrots/beats. I also ordered a side of wild caught Ahi just the protein while my friend ordered the sustainable salmon with asparagus and roasted rosemary potatoes. The steak comes medium easy to bite and filled with flavor and the ahi is always packed with savory flavors yet is never overwhelming. The ahi comes encrusted with a seasoning that combines with the softness of the meat and although it’s cold envelops your mouth just as much as any other meat, chicken or fish. The asparagus is always cooked to perfection and lightly seasoned. The roasted carrots and beats are perfectly charred adding a warm smoky flavor yet still caramelized because of the sweetness of the beets. It’s hard to mess up Salmon and potatoes so they were both also amazing. The prices are $10-$17 a plate but definitely worth it. To drink we got the freshly squeezed lemonade and cantaloupe pineapple mango were around $4-$5 but they offer free refills and are well worth it.
My husband and I eat here whenever we are in the Thousand Oaks area. I love their food. It always tastes fresh. They have a good variety so there is usually something for everyone. Never had a bad experience here. 2 thumbs up for me.
The food is always fresh and on point ?? 2 very important qualities to have in a restaurant.But equally as important to me is the quality of service. Which is fantastic at this location. Totally worth stopping in at least once a week for me.And a very special shout-out to the amazing Keyri (I hope I spelled that correct) she’s typically the one running the plates of food, but she’s honestly such a sweetheart. Always greets me with a smile and makes sure I have what I need.Great job team!
Got the Beef braise with Mashed potatoes, Roasted old Baked potatoes, huge Chocolate chip cookies, Hummingbird cake and Lemonade. Very cute place with lots of green plants and decorations. Plenty of seating inside. Outside is pretty big and they had a small fire going. The staff was friendly and the prices were Fair. The beef braised with mashed potatoes and rustic style bread was absolutely delicious! So much flavor, nice and hot and the potatoes were made really well. The roasted old baked potatoes were also really yummy, just wish they were served hot (mine were barely warm). The hummingbird cake looks great but it's not for me. It was kind of citrus tea flavored with random chunks of pineapple in there and also had a oval chunk of something weird that had a rubber texture to it and I couldn't figure out what it was. Even asked the staff. There's plenty of parking in their lot
Service was VERY slow. Worker was on a very long phone call with a customer placing a very large phone order. The young man didn't even acknowledge us as we stood at the registers, several other employees shuffled back and forth, no one asked if they could help us. We literally stood there the whole time waiting for him to finish taking the order and was shocked that no one stepped in to assist in any way. Especially when you see 2 employees sitting down and 3 other employees in the food area. They weren't busy.After about 12 mins or so the cashier finished the call and asked us for our order. He was very nice and apologized for us waiting so long. I ordered the Moroccan Chicken. It was okay, I'd give it a 5 out of a 10. No wow factor, but not bad either. I think the bread on the side was the best part of my meal.I really wanted to love this place, especially since it has dairy free options and sustainable food etc. I really wished they had a vegan cake on the menu.
Awesome food - healthy, clean and they use some organic ingredients. I really appreciate the prices and the service! Rosendo - the manager is great!
Love the food, love the atmosphere... My wife enjoyed the Cob salad, while I had the chicken tender plate. They were both great and we're looking forward to trying other things off the menu.
