| - We had a very lovely night at URSA. We walked in a little bit before 9:50 and were able to get a table without an real hastle in about 10 minutes. We also could have sat at the bar. I'd say about 10:30 the mood of the bar changed from somewhat quiet to pretty loud. On the way out we noticed a dj, so I'm guessing this is when he started. Anyway, the restaurant was a little on the loud side, without stiffling conversation. The food was interesting, well presented and yummie. We started with a couple of cocktails. I had the Big Bear Old Fashioned which was kind of uninspired (mostly tasted like watered down bourbon), but my partner had a better choice.
For food we wanted to start with the winter salad but someone snagged the last one right before we did, so we got the mixed greeen salad. Presentation was spectacular, though eating it was definitely hard to do. For my main I had the pork loin with the pork belly which also had lentils and kale. The pork loin was really the only thing that was disappointing, it was on the dry side. For dessert we had the ricotta plate which was sort of interesting. It came with a small ricotta cheese topped with honey, dried grapes that were sort of between grapes and raisins, pomegranate that was still attached to the pith, two slices of bread, and a honeycomb. It was definitely different and a nice way to end the meal, though the pomegranate was hard to deal with.
We definitely had a good time and enjoyed our meal, though the portions are on the small size. Check came to about $130 after tip for two appetizers, an entree, and a cocktail each.
