| - I tried out Urban Picnic yesterday with a friend after looking up nearby places to eat on Yelp. It was enjoyable! I took some other Yelpers' advice and tried the roasted turkey/stuffing sandwich and the roast beef sandwich for my friend. We also had sides added-- macaroni and a bean pasta. The macaroni was still a bit hot, but it was delicious after it cooled down. I particularly loved my sandwich. It was Thanksgiving in May for me. Surprisingly, I only finished 1/4th of it due to its large portions. Which is a good thing in my book! I got to take it home and finish it as a good dinner.
I took some bites of the roast beef sandwich, and it's definitely good for people who like a kick in their flavor. I also gave the lavender infused lemonade a shot. It was delicious! It definitely had a hint of lavender flavor which I did not expect to taste so good. I loved that it was sweet, but those who don't like sweet drinks should be mindful of that. They also offered peach green tea, which I may try next time.
We also tried the Green Smoothie, which--if I can recall correctly--consisted of spinach, bananas, and peanut butter. To be honest, the peanut butter made the smoothie odd so I let my friend finish it after I took a sip. He actually didn't like it much either. It was the new June special and was not on their normal menu (meaning it was an experiment probably?), so I'm sure their regular fruit smoothies tasted fine.
In terms of service-- great! The man at the cashier was very pleasant and checked up on us a few times. I wish the prices were a little bit cheaper, but I did like the food.
Forgot to mention-- the to-go box and the "plates" that are items were brought out on definitely made me think of picnics. They had nice, modern furniture in bright colors that added a hip feel to the place. I loved their cute little plant directions on their table as well as the "grass" on the wall. A cute, urban atmosphere! I'd definitely go again given the chance.
