    10/10 would recommend; it was a very elegant experience. I came to celebrate my birthday with my girl and the servers were extremely friendly, helpful, and respectful and never left us hanging or even with a slightly empty cup. We will most definitely be coming back!

    The food at Two Urban Licks is always good and the service is friendly and prompt. We started with the chicken empanada appetizer which was delicious. My husband ordered the trout and I had the salmon. Both dishes were cooked perfectly and were delicious. We’re already talking about going back soon and bringing some friends with us!
