2015

A good time awaits you at Tom’s Urban. Bring your friends and a healthy appetite for sharing a laugh – or many. The mix of epic cocktails and good eats infused with international liveliness shakes up any gathering, whether small and intimate or big and rowdy.

For most of his adult life Tom has been traveling the world, tasting the many flavors each country has to offer while learning and understanding, how each culture eats and enjoys food. His career in the global food industry has taken him to every corner of the world, and in those corners he continually hears the stories, feels the pulse, smells the spice and tastes the culinary passion of the people. Tom’s deep-seated love for understanding local foods has inspired him to create a space for other culinary lovers to know the world one small plate at a time, only this time he's added a deliciously urban twist.
