I really wanted to like this place (I mean really, I want to like every place) but it was just ok. Â Husband and I went for lunch.
Started with beer cheese soup, which was good and flavorful, but with a few too many croutons on top.
I had Italian Beef and husband had a bacon cheeseburger, and we shared. Â For both, the bun (which I believe was from a local bakery) was too small, and my husband thought stale. Â Italian beef had pretty good flavor, but was VERY salty (and I am a girl that likes salt). Â The burger was overdone and not juicy (ordered medium) and kind of blah. Â
The homemade rosemary french fries had good flavor, but were too greasy in my opinion (and like salt, I like fries). Â Husband thought they were ok. Â
Sever was friendly, but not super attentive. Â Husband didn't get refill on his soda even though he could have used one, for example (yes I know he can ask, but server could offer, esp when just after she stopped to clear our dishes she asked at the table next to us). Â If you only have three tables, not hard to be attentive.
So overall, just ok. Â Prob won't go back.
Went here for lunch and ordered a special- beer cheese soup and half a sandwich. The sandwich was small- very small, so it was a good thing the beer cheese soup was filling!
Urbane is located right on the corner and I'm surprised they don't get more business. It was noticeably quiet when we were there, only 1 or 2 people at the bar and one other table was taken. They have a handful of board games for you to try out. We got the Yahtzee, but too many pieces were missing.
Go for the soups alone! Stay for the excellent mixed drinks. (or vice versa;)
We had two soups in a row a month or so back and both were very different.
One was a clean, fresh, clam chowder that made each ingredient shine, and the flavor of the broth was just amazing.
The next day we had the Moroccan stew - another fabulous soup with hearty ingredients and flavors to die for.
More recently we had the cream of mushroom soup - which was also very good, but not on par with the other soups for showcasing the chef's talent.
The 'Ode to Soy' salad was fun and rather fabulous both times I've had it. Â You really can't go wrong with it.
We also had the crab cakes - which were literally just fried, fresh crab meat. They need to back way off on the salt on these guys, as that was all I could taste. Â If they did so, they would have an excellent product on their hands.
The burgers are also good if you are looking for something a bit more hearty. They did not disappoint.
Two thumbs up :)
Oh and the drinks are mixed with real fruit juice fresh squeezed when you order. Wonderful!
Rock on Urbane:)
Though I don't like all the flies! (from the open windows) and the service, while the ladies are nice, is lacking. I know they are hiring more waitresses.
Simply the best bar in Sheboygan! Â The drink menu is imaginative and varied, they have a great beer and respectable wine selection, and their kitchen serves some of the best food in town, and not your regular bar fare. Real food. Even the appetizers are a step above. Â The interior is dark and contemporary, although the original restored bar adds an old fashioned touch. Â Music is contemporary, and they generally have artwork displayed on the TV... The staff is very friendly, although they can get swamped on weekends. The crowd is usually 30+, as this is not the place to drink Miller Lite in plastic cups until you crawl home. Â In the summer the front of the bar opens up to the street and there is outdoor seating. A place like this would be welcome in any major metropolitan city in the US, and is very welcome here in Sheboygan.
Review Source:This is the place you go in Sheboygan if you want to take your parents out for a drink, have out of towners visiting, or just really need a cocktail other than a miller lite or whathaveyou.
The red sangria used to be a steal at $5 for a filled-to-the-brim wine glass, but now it has been raised to $6.50 since I've last been. Oh well. Moscow mules are okay, I've had better. The ambiance of the bar is fun, and the staff generally friendly.
Urbane has the right thing going on here for Sheboygan, it's the only place like it in town (as far as I know) and definitely fills a void.
I have mixed reviews about this place.
A+ on environment. The windows open up over the summer so you get to enjoy your beverage with the warm weather throughout the facility.
C on service. It is very hit or miss and you truly never know how your experience is going to be when you go there.
A on food and drinks. Great drink menu that has fun drinks for a girls night out and the food is delicious. A favorite of ours is the Boursin Bites as an appetizer.
Tuesday Nights are trivia nights and it is always a good time.
This place was great!!! I had the Blue Cheese & Bacon Burger (Med. Rare) on the pretzel roll. Burger was phenomenal, cooked perfectly and very tasty! Bartender was very friendly and informative. The only thing holding it back from five stars were the fries, they seemed a little old but all in all we can't wait to go back.
Review Source:Great location, great seating options being able to sit inside and outside, and the food was pretty excellent too. The night I was there the bar was hosting a benefit for a large group of people, which was very cool, but the service was SLOW. I tried to ask if they were understaffed but all the waitress kept saying was 'we have a big event here tonight'. Not okay by me to host an event and see your waitress 4 times the entire night.
Food on the other hand was phenomenal. The thai nachos are unreal. Something about the mixture of mozzarella cheese, thai peanut sauce, and pulled pork...it just works. Mushroom burger was done perfect as well.
Overall great venue, good food and beer selection but staffing could affect your night.
Great food, creative menu, good service and a really nice ambiance with the large front windows and beautifully ornate ceiling. Â The wine selection was pretty good too, I had a couple of glasses of lovely reds, one from CA and another from New Zealand. I had the Ode to Soy salad with grilled salmon and it was fantastic. Â We will definitely be back next time around in Sheboygan.
Review Source:Only had the opportunity to stop here for an hour but liked what I saw!  Back bar is at least 100 years old and is a really cool piece of the atmosphere.  Original tin ceiling and floor to ceiling windows in the front also add a lot.  Non-smoking  makes this place that much better.  Nice selection of beer, martinis, and drinks with fresh squeezed juice.  Menu is simple but sounds tasty.  Definitey will stop next time in the area!
Review Source:Visited on 2 separate occasions - a Sunday night which was a slower, more chilled-out atmosphere and a Saturday night filled with a bigger crowd including the requisite bachelorette party visit. It can accommodate both of these equally well.
Upscale attitude in a downtown location and most importantly, NON-SMOKING. Decent beer and martini selection, which also makes it pricey for the area. Let's just hope the community supports it.
