Hi Red, I am so sorry we were not able to deliver on a great experience during your visit. We try to offer craveable food for all, in a quick timely matter. We take a lot of pride in being able to do so. I understand the frustration being stuck behind a large group and we will work on improving ways to make this experience better for all. Every table we have in the building has a QR code. If you scan this QR code, you can place your order at the table and skip the line. The order goes straight to the kitchen and you can skip large groups and your order will be prepared right away. We can also bring utensils and beverages for you. We hope that you give us another shot and use this method should there be a large line. Thanks for your feedback and your business. Mike Davis General Manager Urban Plates Del Mar [email protected]
