   We were not given any small plates with our appetizers. Water tasted absolutely awful and hurt my stomach

   The smores could be so much better if they heated up the marshmallow / chocolate instead of trying to blow torch the marshmallow and burning it

   Funky little place with a good vibe. Lots of small rooms/spaces. Strong mixed drink menu - dinner food was good. There was a great mix of different people all having a good time. God spot for a large (8 +) group.

   We loved it. The decorations for Christmas were still up. The restaurant was oddly empty but it was 3;30 on a Wednesday.

   Definitely good for your Instagram pictures and TikTok. But I do think there are better themed bars with more reasonable prices. Worth going once but not sure it would be a frequent visit or repeat. Hard to pay 40+ dollars for one flight when the drinks are tiny. Also very weird when you’re approached by a server, who wants to take pictures of you and then tries to sell them to you later. Overall unlikely to return due to the prices and experience.

   We, a family of 6, only had 2 appetizers and left. We had 2 children with us and they sat us in the bar area… we asked to move to a table that was less crowded though they kept trying to sit us in corners and dark areas… I went to the bathroom only to find the sink was outside of the door and the bathroom was dirty. Every stall trash was overflowing and there was a smell of staleness… It was not clean and I left the bathroom ready to leave. (Who wants to touch a door everyone has to touch after using the bathroom and not able to wash your hands.) Finally the food was the last factor… the menu was basic but the guacamole dip had nothing in it but lightly seasoned avocados and the dynamite shrimp was sweet with no spice. The shrimp also came out cold. After receiving the appetizers and having escaped the horror of the bathroom… We waved down our waiter, paid the bill, and left. The restaurant was beautifully decorated but the food was not good enough to live up to the decor.

   Arrived around 845pm, restaurant not crowded. Went to bar, waited 10 min, no one ever came. Half of restaurant enthralled in smoke from burnt items in kitchen. Sent Irish coffee back 3 times, server didn't know ingredients or stain temperature request. $70 for 2 drinks, 2 soups, and smores 😔

    Urban Roast is quite a lovely place. The Christmas decorations were such a nice touch to the area. Food overall was pretty decent. My friend got the ribs and they lack some flavor, but the mashed potatoes were delicious. The buffalo chicken dip was delicious as well and so as well as the Caesar salad, I had gotten the chicken dish that came with rice and beans. The rice was a little too soft for my liking and the beans taste lovely The sauce that came with. It is fairly decent like the chipotle barbecue sauce as for the mock tails they were also delicious the peach and mango one overall I would give my experience in eight out of 10 just because of the other food did a little bit of flavor a little bit of a texture issue
