I was disappointed the first time I visited Urban Prime—but the new management is absolutely killing it. Their first “Bourbon at the Urban” event this past weekend was a 10/10 experience. The food was five-star across the board, with standout pairings like peppercorn-crusted venison loin with Booker’s “Jerry’s Batch,” smoked honey bourbon lamb chops with Wild Turkey Rare Breed, and bourbon-glazed beef tartare with Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. Each dish was paired perfectly with top-shelf bourbon, and Lindsay, the Sommelier, and whiskey specialist, guided us through each pour with passion and precision. Add in fireplaces, a live jazz band, and flawless service—and you’ve got one of the best dining experiences in town. Can’t wait for the next one.
celebrated a birthday at Urban Prime Restaurant, and it was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting, perfect for a special occasion. The food was delicious—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff was so attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect for our celebration. It was truly a memorable evening filled with great service, amazing food, and such a wonderful vibe. I highly recommend Urban Prime for anyone looking for an excellent dining experience, whether it’s a birthday, special event, or just a night out. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was our first time at Urban Prime after a very long wait. My husband and I rarely have baby sitting, so we took advantage of a local company offering a Parents' Night Out! The only reason I will not give a full 5 star review is because of their wait time. We had a reservation and still had to wait 1 hour for a table. We sat at the bar for the first hour. Our service was amazing, the bar tenders were more than attentive and made us delicious drinks. We also ended ordering some oysters after 30 minutes of being told we still had to wait. We would not have waited for a table in the main dining room if we had been told that it would take so long. Poor communication by the hosts, in my opinion. Their saving grace was our waiter Brock. He was truly amazing and really expedited our food when we explained that we were in a hurry. We were able to get our food and eat in less than 30 minutes, which is not my idea of an enjoyable meal, especially the first time experiencing a new place. I like to take my time and taste different items. I would have also liked to try a dessert. Our meal was very good and the portions are very reasonable. In all honesty I was underwhelmed by the atmosphere, but I will go back to the bar and just order some drinks and apps.
This was a work dinner for a coworker's 20th anniversary and our first time experiencing Urban Prime. Stacy was a fantastic waitress and all the other employees we encountered were extremely friendly, handling our shenanigans very well. The food was delicious! I enjoyed the soup if the day, a 16 oz NY Strip with Brussels, and a decomposed apple crisp with vanilla Gelato dessert. I cant wait to come back for a date night and try the sushi.
At the helm is an experienced worldly chef operating a team in an ambitious project that includes grocery, adult beverages, pre prepared foods like sushi and deli along with a full service bar and restaurant. Another example of independent businesses we should all suppprt. Thanks to Isa, Cassidy and Sammie and Chef, thank you for your warm hospitality in a champagne toast. Oh and for being innovative with thc. The Lemon Kush flip style cocktail was amazing.
Great food and service. Just visiting Melbourne and was very impressed by the hospitality from the staff. I loved the paintings and lighting of the restaurant. Food was delicious. It was hard to choose what to eat. Our waitress AnneKay made my night with a complimentary birthday dessert and attentive service. Overall definitely recommended for a delicious night out.
