We've been meaning to try Soba for dinner every time we go to Umi. I'm only in town a few times a year, so we finally made this a priority. The food was spectacular and the drinks and service were first class. My wife had the whole bronzini, which I tried some of, and it was dynamite. Don't let the whole fish preparation intimidate you!
My entree was the seared tuna and it was quite good as well. We enjoyed a great pinot noir that was recommended by our waiter and also had some great sparkling sake. We waited for our table in the lounge and tried some cocktails -- all receive high marks.
We were seated near the water feature wall, which is a spot I would recommend. The lighting, mood, food, and service make this a great location if you're looking to impress or have a nice romantic evening.
I look forward to a return visit.
