Question: Do you ever get in a restaurant rut?
We do.
Mark and I often go to the same places over and over. It’s like we have blinders on. Last night, we decided to go to a special place we haven’t been to in nearly a year, UrbanPl8.
I know I’ve mentioned this place before, but it’s an extra special restaurant, because our wedding reception was there!
In addition to the food being awesome, I especially love the decor and feel of the space, like shabby-chic. Rustic and gorgeous.
The company was pretty good, too.
I hardly ever drink, but the Paleo Margarita (there are a ton of Paleo-diet options on the menu) sounded fun!
It was so refreshing and delicious! I nursed that bad boy for a good hour to savor the flavor. I did the exact opposite with my main course, Red Curry Pan-Seared Tofu.
The flavor was amazing, and I loved the coconut-based sauce…but damn! It was spicy (for me). I have really low heat tolerance, and I was sweating. I kept eating it, since it tasted so good, but I felt like a had to scarf it down to minimize the discomfort.
The margarita helped ease my pain, so did the Paleo (and vegan!) chocolate layer cake.
Topped with whipped coconut milk and a side of fresh blueberries. Hell to the yeah.
It wasn’t overly sweet at all, so I didn’t feel that unhealthy. 
Definitely a great restaurant and highly recommend it. Lee also just grabbed her birthday brunch at UrbanPl8 recently. Fun fact: we got married on the same day!
Can you handle spice or are you like me (the milder, the better)?
I didn’t realize your reception was there – how cool! I’ve been meaning to check it out since Lee’s post. That cake looks amazing!
I think you would love it! They also have a paleo chocolate pudding (which was the icing on the cake…literally).
Haha, I was just going to comment that I went there for brunch last weekend but then you beat me to it!
I’m going to have to try that tofu next time. I like spicy.
Oooh, then that is your dish!
Awwww, you were such a pretty bride. I love seeing wedding pictures.
The food looks incredible. I love how Atlanta has so many health conscious restaurants.
Thanks!! We really do have a ton of options here!
I really need to try that place! I had no idea they had paleo options, that’s the first time I’ve ever heard of a restaurant specifically catering to that diet. Pretty cool.
Yeah, they actually have Paleo Nights, where everything is Paleo!
I love Urban Pl8!! I didn’t realize you had your reception there! How cool!
