    Excellent restaurant, great place for date night, family outings and special occasions. The food is good but I did have some bad appetizers which thankfully the waiter comped. Drinks are always excellent although getting some special cocktails can be slow. Overall great spot and will return.

    Umi delivers an outstanding sushi dining experience, combining top-tier service, a stylish ambiance, and high-quality cuisine. From the moment you walk in, the sleek yet inviting decor sets the tone for an elegant meal. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance—sophisticated but not pretentious, making it ideal for both special occasions and casual nights out. The service at Umi is impeccable. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, offering knowledgeable recommendations and ensuring a smooth, enjoyable dining experience. From the moment we were seated, everything felt seamless, from drink refills to perfectly timed dish arrivals. As for the food, every bite reflected freshness and precision. The sushi was expertly crafted, with high-quality fish that practically melted in your mouth. Signature rolls offered a creative twist without overpowering the delicate flavors of the ingredients. The hot dishes were equally impressive, with standout items like the miso-glazed black cod and tempura that was light and crisp. Pricing is on par with similar high-end sushi spots, making it a great value given the quality of food and overall experience. Umi proves that you don’t have to compromise when it comes to great sushi, excellent service, and a welcoming ambiance. Highly recommended!

    The food was spectacular. Pasta side with swordfish and a sea bass main. Bottle of wine, a half dozen oysters and a salad were all the fixings. Service was great, very attentive. Great ambiance and really high ceilings add to the atmosphere. Definitely will do this again!
