I finally made it to Umami last weekend (pathetically late to the party imo) and I'm happy to say I wasn't let down by the experience. Our server was attentive without being overbearing, which is difficult to do and always appreciated. The inside was dimly lit and stylish (much like my beloved täk?) and it seemed like a fun place to hang out and drink for a while.
I had some yellowtail sashimi and the ginger ginger cocktail. The former was delicious, fresh, and smooth, but the latter was too sweet and lacked the gingery bite I was hoping for. It was essentially a basic Moscow Mule. My dining companion had a cocktail I liked better though (I believe it was whiskey-based) so I will try and get that next time. I also sampled some pork belly, which was chewy and sweet but not for me, and a quail egg in bacon, which I'll most certainly get next time. It might seem like an odd thing for a restaurant with so much sushi, but the savory combination of flavors in that dish was umami at its finest. I'm already looking forward to coming back!
