SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - A new restaurant is bringing fresh, organic scratch-made cuisine to Sacramento. On Dec. 12, Urban Plates opened its first Sacramento region location in a newly-constructed building at 2080 Fair Oaks Blvd., Sacramento. 
Visitors to the new Urban Plates location will have the opportunity to experience the restaurant’s motto, “Everyone deserves to eat this good.”
The Sacramento location represents the 20th Urban Plates restaurant, all of which are in California and all company-owned and -operated. Urban Plates originated in San Diego County and has migrated northward through fine dining destinations in Orange and Los Angeles counties as well as the San Francisco Bay Area.
Urban Plates provides an ideal atmosphere for casual and relaxed dining with a comfortable vibe and friendly hospitality. This unique restaurant approach was explained by Urban Plates Hospitality Trainer Monique Patriota, who took a break from training new staff to speak to this reporter. 
In addition to fresh organic scratch-made cuisine, the Sacramento Urban Plates location also brings with it job growth for the Sacramento region. Patriota explained the restaurant has locally hired 50 staff members to get the restaurant ready for the Dec. 12 grand opening and that additional staff would be brought on as they move forward. 
Urban Plates issued an official statement to celebrate the opening of its first Sacramento area location. 
“Opening in California’s ‘Farm-to-Fork’ capital is especially meaningful to us,” said Joe O’Donnell, Urban Plates president. “We look forward to serving this community with fresh, affordable and scratch-made meals that honor Sacramento’s deep commitment to thoughtfully-sourced ingredients and menus that change with the seasons.”
The Urban Plates menu is replete with delicious scratch-made offerings, including salads, bowls, sandwiches and full entrees with a choice of sides. Several scrumptious vegan menu items are also available and scratch-made. The dessert selection is plentiful with cookies, pies and gluten-free options, and the staff favorite, a mango tart. All desserts are made on site like all the food offerings on the Urban Plates menu. An array of non-alcoholic beverages is available to accompany your meal, along with fine spirits in the form of craft beers and California wines.
