Umami offers excellent food and service in a bar-like setting with an innovative take on Japanese cuisine. The restaurant has a great selection of Japanese whiskey and inventive cocktails, along with dishes like the sashimi plate and bowls. The atmosphere is enhanced by mood lighting and artwork, creating a unique vibe that many find appealing. The open kitchen and knowledgeable staff provide a fun and comfortable experience, although the busy servers may not always have enough time for each table. While it's not wheelchair accessible due to its location on the second floor, Umami has become a favorite for many, especially for date nights with shareable plates like the takoyaki and pork gyoza. However, reservations are recommended, as seating is limited. The quality of food is consistently praised, with standout dishes like the nigiri plate and karaage adding to its charm, making it an ideal spot for special occasions.
