Description: A popular downtown wine bar, Urban Wine Company draws a mixed crowd to sample its vast array of vino: It serves 40 boutique wines by the glass and stocks more than 200 varieties by the bottle. The wine list comes to the table in a small booklet, and diners can choose to order a glass, a bottle, or a flight of smaller tastes for a fixed price. The food menu is made up of many small bites that together make a meal; if you’re part of a large group, it’s worth ordering quite a bit. Couples can get away with less, especially if an order or two of sushi is included. The menu includes Asian favorites (the aforementioned sushi, miso soup, tempura, and edamame) and Italian specialties like spinach and artichoke dip, bruschetta, and a capresi salad. Larger lahvosh pizzas include a variety of meat, seafood, and vegetable toppings. A customizable meat and cheese plate rounds out the menu. Urban Wine Company is popular for private parties and corporate events; visit the restaurant’s website for more information.
