The Feast of the Seven Fishes was a real delight. Nothing like anything else we've ever even seen. Sword fish and tuna carpaccio! I've never heard of such delights, and the octopus salami was absolutely amazing. All the courses were fantastic. The sauce on the mussels I could drink like soup, and the lobster risotto was so creamy and delicious, topped with a perfectly seared pair of the largest sea scallops I've ever seen. This was the most unique and ambitious take on the Seven Fishes meal I've seen. We had a great recommended wine pairing as well, a white Bordeaux. My sincerest compliments to Chef Chris for putting on such a wonderful event.

Our goal is to showcase the beauty and complexity of Thai cuisine while infusing it with modern and creative flavors. We are excited to share our passion for food with you and hope you enjoy our unique fusion creations.

This is one of the best sushi experiences we've had in a long time. We've had sushi delivered from Umu before and ate outside once but this was the first time eating inside and ordering a variety of sushi items. Normally when I eat sushi these days, my craving is satisfied and I'm good for a few months. The sushi at Umu was SO fresh and SO delicious I can't stop thinking about it and wanting it again. The fatty tuna and yellow tail hamachi is mouth watering! I ordered a special hand roll and it was so full of sushi I could barely pick it up. One of us ordered the seabass and it too was delicious. The highlight though was The Lobster. Its a good size lobster tail tempura fried in a roll AND 4 large pieces of tempura fried lobster meat. It was outstanding and worth every penny. The food is a tad high priced for the area but you can't really put a price tag on super fresh sushi. We will absolutely be back and soon!

The Rooster and the Till is an absolute gem. Small and intimate neighborhood vibe. The food is eclectic and excellently prepared. Service was outstanding as well. Our goal was to find a restaurant that steps well outside the typical American fare… The Rooster and the Till really hit the mark.
