You Rate the Restaurant: Urban Grille

"Slightly eccentric, surprisingly down to earth, but most of all, delicious."

  • In "You Rate the Restaurant," we pick one of the Geneva's many wonderful dining places and ask for your opinion of it. You guys are the food fans—so let us know what you think. To give the restaurant a review and star rating .

 

I've eaten at probably a half-dozen times, and I probably could make it twice that and still wouldn't have enough opportunities to try all the items that look good on the "slightly eccentric, surprisingly down to earth" menu.

Apparently, from reading the reviews, I've missed the boat completely, because I haven't (yet) tried the Artesan Burgers. I keep getting distracted by the wood-grilled flat bread pizzas (Pizza Margherita), the appetizers (Shrimp Alyx) and the Sandwich Sensations (The Prime Rib Sandwich, The Cuban and The Gaucho.)
