Urban Plates - Bethesda

Had the most delicious and super incredible first experience in Urban Plates in Bethesda. Chef Seth made our experience 100x better with the best recommendations. The entire staff was so friendly. Oh and the COOKIES so fresh and butter-free!

One of upscale experience with moderate price at Montgomery Mall. They divide the station into six, Salad, Sandwiches, hot plate, Kids and Stew. At every station you pick your protein and side dishes. All the staff are super friendly and eager to please. The foods are tasty and well presented.

Interesting concept for quick bites. Food court style and sit down restaurant combined. Beautiful interior decor, super clean bathroom and the faucet is low to the sink so the water would not spread out all over the counter, good thinking.

Tried Urban Plates at Montgomery Mall; it 's fairly new so it 's nice and clean. The crew seemed amiable enough. Our group ordered from the Plates menu ahi tuna, kimchi chicken, and grass fed steak with two sides each (we got veggies . They weighed the meat/poultry...to be honest, the portions were a bit on the light side. The portions were good enough if you weren 't looking to feel too full. [One of us (not a really heavy eater had to order chicken wings from a nearby stall because, that ahi tuna did not cut it for me. Nevertheless, the food tasted really good. And that was what really mattered. Another one in the group ordered UP 's Asian salad, and exclaimed utmost satisfaction. UP had mouth watering desserts too! We shared the hummingbird cake and strawberry vanilla shortcake, both excellently baked and temptingly presented on the display shelf. So, all in all, we were quite taken by the food quality (maybe not the quantity and taste. We all knew we 'd be back another time.

I absolutely love this place! They offer a wide selection of healthy foods that taste amazing. The restaurant is very clean, and the staff is incredibly friendly. My favorite dishes include the meatless salad with vibrant carrots, asparagus, Brussels sprouts, and their delicious tomato basil soup. It's hard not to enjoy their tomato basil soup! Unfortunately, the location in Colombia has been closed since July 2021.
