    We loved our experience! We are new to town and Urban Grub was recommended to us. From the service to the beautiful raw bar and lovely desserts, everything was fantastic. The complementary valet service on a rainy January evening was a fantastic touch as well. We went for a birthday celebration and we will certainly be back!

    We like sitting at the small, cozy bar and interacting with Gena. She’s been at Midtown for 23 years! She’s delightful, makes great drinks, knows the menu inside & out, and can recommend the perfect wine to pair with your meal. High on our list: the lamb, crab cakes, lemon artichoke soup, and butterscotch jalapeño bread pudding!

    While visiting my grandson, I treated him to a delightful evening at Brugada. We were greeted warmly by the hostess, our server was very efficient, fun to chat with and made us feel like we were the only patrons in the restaurant. If you want a less chaotic dining experience right off of Broadway, this is the spot. The manager also stopped by to make certain we were satisfied with our evening.
