I've eaten there several times, including during their media preview and later for happy hour on my own dime. I've enjoyed it both times, due to its relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and solid food. On my next visit, I'll be checking out their retail wine store too.
Strings Urban Kitchen is located at 1500 7th Street, can be found online at StringsUrbanKitchen.com.
