Oh, Urban Vince... I think I'm in LOVE with you. It's quaint, it's sweet, the flavors are robust and interesting- it's everything you need in a neighborhood restaurant. The outdoor patio is ready for some visitors, let's hope it cools down soon.
I enjoyed my New York strip. Maybe too much since I had planned on eating half and taking the rest home. Nope. I ended up eating it all. I was able to try many other meals too (the joy of dining with friends!). The pasta dish was savory, I could eat an entire plate of the cabbage, rice noodle side- it was truly divine. The cakes were cooked perfectly. Dessert usually isn't my thing but I was impressed with the cobbler, and cobbler never impresses me.
The ambiance is really quaint, like you are at home and comfortable. You can tell a lot of thought went into design and decor. The tin ceiling, the light fixtures and wall decor are all visually appealing and kitschy.
I'm going back without a doubt. See ya there! Cheers.
