    Umi never disappoints and last night lived up to every expectation. It is an expensive place but the quality and service totally justify the prices. We tried the waygu and fatty tuna nigiri, new for us and wow we will order those every time now. We had our usual salmon with truffle aioli, spicy tuna on crispy rice, lobster toban and big oyster toban. All of these dishes are very special and should not be missed. We had a couple of sushi rolls and they were greta but the dishes listed above are a bit more special. You can't go wrong at Umi and consider yourself lucky if you get to dine here. Also, the service is very professional but also friendly and efficient without being rushy.

    The service and food is some of the best in the city and in the top 5 around the world…. Our server Adam was outstanding and just a wealth of information not only on the food/wine but the overall experience. While the restaurant is outrageously expensive (the wine was worth ever penny) it is truly one of the best I have ever had the pleasure to enjoy in my 57 years. Everyone from the GM, Chef Freddy, Adam, and the Sommelier made our evening more special than I could have ever dreamed of…! They truly provide the best from the time you enter the restaurant until you walk out the door. This will be a must repeat. A special thanks to Adam and the entire crew….!!! Thank You for making our night something very special..!! Will see you soon…!!!
