The Urban Well is a small place near Kits beach. They have live DJ's, good selection of martinis, sexy staff, and decent food. Its a good place to go with friends. The menu is simple but tasty and the service is friendly.
Me and some friends were in here on Friday night,and it was pretty good. I had the teriyaki salmon, which was simple, but good @ $14.99. The appy's looks great, and well priced. Our waitress was awesome, and should be commended. She said she was new, but nevr failed to keep my drink full ( which is a task! ) even as they got extemely busy. All in, a good spot. I will go back. I did like the old Dt location much better though.
Went on Sat to the Urban Well in Kits. I was surprised to see that the place was not packed. Maybe it was the cold weather outside, or maybe it’s that the Urban Well has gone down hill.
The service was poor. I don’t usually bitch about the service because I know what it’s like to serve wild animals, excuse me, people. But getting milk and sugar for my friend’s tea should not take 30 minutes. In the waitress’s defense, I told her she was good looking, so maybe that slowed her down.
The food was good for a lounge, although I would not go there for a regular dinner. I had duck confit spring rolls, which were good, even though the plum sauce came out of a can. If making a plum sauce from scratch is too hard for you guys, then open a cooking book and create a different sauce, but the only condiment that should be allowed to be ready-made is ketchup.
Speaking of which, I had the steak sandwich for main. The steak was good, cooked perfectly medium rare, but the fries were OLD and FRIED until there was nothing inside the fry, just the crunchy outer layer. My friends had a shrimp thingy which was ok and chicken satay which looked like it was boiled and accidentally fell on the grill to get the obligatory charcoal marks.
All and all, an alright place to hang out when you’re drunk, but since they are pretending they are in Yaletown maybe they should hire some more servers and look at their menu again, because quantity is rarely better than quality.
