Good cozy feeling for breakfast - coffees, muffins, biscuits all delicious. I would recommend crabcake benedict with regular hollandaise sauce instead of jalepeno sauce. Shrimp & grits sounded delicious but the shrimp were not the highest quality and the sauce didn't bring it together enough (egg on top was good though). Overall we enjoyed it but may order something else next time.

Was looking for a last minute dinner option and Two Urban Licks had availability. We were sat immediately (6pm). The serving staff was attentive and the food came out super quick. We ordered the Chicken Skins, Chicken Empanada, Burnt End brisket, Roasted Salmon and Blueberry Upside Down Cake. Everything was absolutely delicious. The dessert was tasty, but very dense and not super sweet. Still worth ordering but keep that in mind. Two Urban Licks remains consistent and I'm sure we'll be back!

Autumn was absolutely amazing. She was busy and it was New Years Day, but that didn't stop her. She was kind, patient and extremely pleasant.
