| - I would have never known there's a place on the 15th floor of the Ritz if it wasn't for our friend suggesting Urban Sip for a post-dinner drink (or as it turned out, drinks). We came here for a friend's birthday celebration (guess whose?? hehe). While this may not be the best place to bring a large group of people (we had 8 in the party) who were all ready to ramble, I have to say I really enjoyed the place. As much as we were not their typical clientele, the server was quick to accomodate us. We got ourselves the center round table with added chairs and I didn't feel crowded. It's a quieter kind of place, but they were playing pretty decent upbeat tunes, just not in a deafening manner. It's actually nice to be able to carry on a conversation with my friends.
The drink menu is impressive. The varieties of wine being offered by the glass is insane. Yes, some of them have quite a sticker shock factor, but on the other hand they have a flight of international red for $11. And by the way, West Coast Red flight is highly recommended by "Big Dog."
And for our friend's birthday, they even brought out a decorated plate with homemade salty caramel... and omg, they were a bowl of delicious buttery goodness!
I think Urban Sip is a quaint little place in the middle of uptown. It offers a different hangout option. The service was excellent. The view is different (ok, so it's not the best view I've seen, but it's a view nonetheless). And gentlemen, I think you should keep this place in mind for that special evening out with your special someone :)
