| - It was a cold Autumn night when a friend and I decided to meet for a long overdue dinner at Urban Restaurant on King St.
Located amidst the 'tourist strip' of restaurants, Urban is pleasantly not 'touristy'. There's a lovely front room, but if you venture towards the back, you can step down into their more rustic 'fireplace room' - a cozy, more private setting, perfect for cold nights (...although there was a musty smell that hung in the air!).
They offer a prix fixe menu, which is somewhat limited, but their main menu is fairly extensive and true to the 'American Cuisine' the restaurant bills itself as serving. I had the striploin, medium and it was cooked perfectly, with lovely roast potatoes and buttered spinach - a fabulous and much-needed dose of protein. This meal, accompanied by a delightful rioja, definitely satisfied! And to top it off, a decadent, but not heavy flourless chocolate cake - mmm....
A rather too attentive waiter made me feel rushed, although in fairness to him, I was having a bit of an indecisive day!
All in all, a good experience - I would return.
