I LOVE the confort food offered here. The best neighborhood kitchen to eat in. Great staff, good wine list.
Love Urban Solace, yum, yum, yum!!! Food, wine & beer list, and service are all wonderful.
After all of the hype surrounding this place, and never being able to get in until recently (July '08, for my boyfriend's birthday), I was sorely disappointed. The hostess had a terrible attitude, both on the phone and in person. She stuck us in the darkest alley outside in a sort of wind-tunnel, with no heat lamp, though the place was nowhere near capacity and it was one of the last seatings. We had to steal a candle off another table, then hop to a vacated table, mid-meal to make use of a blazing heat lamp. Our server (I wish I could remember her name!) was very warm and attentive though, and she knew the menu inside and out. She was able to suggest great wines. The Arctic Char and sides were amazing, but the much-hyped mac n cheese was weak and runny, though the little nuggets of bacon and tomato were a nice touch. It was only a little better re-heated the next day. Between the nasty hostess and the mac n' cheese, I was so irritated and disappointed that we didn't stay for dessert - and we always stay for dessert. Although there are several other menu items that sound great, I don't think I want to chance it again.
This place is awesome! Fantastic food at great prices! Nice wine list as well. And the service is great!
i went on the soft opening, the biscuits were really tasty. and the apple dessert was to die for, the restaurant is really charming and the service was excellent as well, i think they have made a very good addition to the north park scene. :)
The service was only too warm and catering, and the food was more than exceptional! Best wishes for the future.
Fabulous comfort food, elegant but comfortable atmosphere, service par excellence.
Loved the food, Love the atmosphere!
Thanks for bringing this restaurant to North Park.
Great atmosphere - great food. Yummy cheese biscuits, chop chop salad, lobster pie, desserts - can't have just one!
I've been eating this chef's food for years in Sonoma and am so happy that he has brought his amazing talent to San Diego!!
The chicken dinner had so much flavor,. I think it's the best I ever tasted.
And the desert were out of this world.

I love this place. Wonderful food, great service. I have been back twice already!!
This is a happening place with character to spare - gotta put it on your radar for a repeat dine in and neighborhood experience.

This place is great! Finally, a place that doesn't charge an arm and a leg for food that leaves you feeling good and satisfied. Really a good value...worth checking out.
Unbelievable short rib joe. It will be a weekly lunch or dinner stop. Can't wait to try the Hanger Steak.
