    Umi never ceases to amaze. The food is always divine, especially the chocolate maki. The team of servers are always incredible, too. This time we had the lovely Ashley and she was fantastic. She not only recommended the perfect drink for me, she also seamlessly allowed a dessert substitution for the 7 course dinner tour. If you are a fan of upscale sushi, this is a must-try restaurant!

    An absolutely great visit! I've never been and was looking for new places to try for Valentine's/Self-Love Day, lol. I was late for my reservation (I did call to make them aware) and they were still able to accommodate me -- nice customer service. I sat at the bar and was greeted by Scott. He's a sweetheart and served me a couple Sparkling Comsos -- yumm. For my dinner, I got the Scottish Salmon cooked medium. It was made perfectly! The accoutrements were delish as well. Abby(ie) made sure I was tended to throughout. Very nice experience in a beautiful space with matching vibes.
