| - Well talk about shocked only gets three stars...Or should say not sure why Umami not getting much yelp love except everyone has right too ones opinion. I feel that Umami Burger offer unique experience comes to watching games at a sports book. Trust me use to be one of those sports parley betting addict every weekend. Before realize the house always win. Lol. I can only think of handful of sports book that first off offers food more less quality food not just your normal fried everything bar food. Plus the ones that do offer food usually adjacent or may need to walk some ways get food then bring it back. Not like the sports books are made for food. The chairs made for parley sheet, drink, and sheet write down bets. If in front of small television booth in reality same thing. The thing about Umami literally you just walk up place bet (live betting; that new one for me) and go back too eat, drinking, or talking stories with friends. I came here watch MNF with friends visiting from the 808. I read reviews that need order certain amount on Sunday or on football days in general. Between the three of us ordered everything and the kitchen sink so we were good. We started with truffle fries, nachos, wings, and I had "The Royale Burger".
The truffle fries was Amazing! By far the best truffle fries had in long time. I had the ones at more fancy place like Olives that totally suck compare too Umami. The thing that makes them shine above the rest. The homemade truffle cheese that put over the fries, then add truffle oil on top, and nice hot right out of the fryer. Just the smell is divine. If not fungus person this not the dish for you. But if love cheese fries in general these truffle fries take tradition fries too another level. Rich. The Nachos with the short rib meat on top, fresh guacamole (one of the better ones had in town), jalapeƱo, fresh cilantro sprigs, and the chips. The CHIPS tell fresh chips nice thick corn ones. I could have just eaten chips and salsa whole game be content in life. Me my pet peeves with Nachos like mound of stuff on top but think excess not always better. I love the fact that really had the right amount that none of the chips got completely drowned by the topping that the chips on the bottom bottom still has the crispy crunch. The chicken wings we had six an six. Those were ok nothing really memorable about them.
The "Royale" Burger talk about gourmet burger! This one rivals any of the top gourmet burger joints in Vegas. I can honestly say hit the full list from Gordan, Bobby, Burger Bar, Holstein, Fuku, Bachi, and the only one missing is Guy. The thing I love is the combination of all the flavors. It heavy burger with lots of meat! The burger, short ribs on top, then got truffle cheese, and believe might put hint of truffle oil top it off. Messy burger. Those are the best one that all the good stuff comes out with every bite and gets all over your hands. The "U" on top of all the burger that nice touch that definitely Umami style. The burger buns are on point. Few more reading description that need get me some next visit.
The service was five star for me!!!! Our server was on it. This was on FOOTBALL day or say MNF. Our server was friendly and during the game on it making sure never empty on our beers. Since first timers all around answered all our questions.
If one thing that had issue. Maybe only had one hostess working that night. Not sure if we sit ourselves down or go hostess stand get seated no sign. From the outside looks more like lounge then restaurant restaurant. I never checked out the Beer Garden.
Umami Burger is awesome. I look forward too trying more of the burgers next time.
