Looking for more outdoor dining options?  Urban Plates just expanded outdoor dining patios at all locations including Brea, Irvine, and Aliso Viejo.

The chef-driven, fine-casual brand that focuses on delicious, crave-able, and affordable foods made with clean, whole-food ingredients also has some great summer specials. Available for patio dining, or takeout, Urban Plates is offering a Ribs Family Meal made using their beloved Heritage Ribs – the composed meal includes four half racks of ribs, two large sides (try the seasonal roasted old bay potatoes and harissa corn on the cob), and 4 slices grilled rustic bread, and is priced at $59.95 at all locations.

Urban Plates also offers a variety of summer desserts made in house, which act as the perfect, crowd-pleasing accompaniment. Seasonal desserts include the whole Mango Tart, Almond Macaroons, and Chocolate Vanilla Cake with seasonal berries. Top it off with a Summer Antioxidant Salad or a Watermelon Replenisher—a refreshing, housemade drink made of blended fresh watermelon, pineapple, mint, and basil—which can also be frozen at home into popsicles for the kids, or into ice cubes as a way to liven up a glass of iced tea.
