| - Umami is new, and it seems that it's just not my taste. Gourmet burgers, maybe, but not my style.
Ambiance: 3 - Located in the Sports Book, Umami definitely has an active feel. It's loud and exciting, but not too busy..The place was organized, but the tables in the middle are TOO close together. We might as well have just pushed our tables together with strangers because it was basically like we were talking to each other. Someone please space the tables away from each other!!!!
Service: 3 - Our server was sweet, but the service was great and fast in the beginning...but very, very slow at the end. Not too fun to be waiting 20-25 minutes just for the check! And there wasn't even that many people around.
Food: 3 - Food was just okay. I got the Truffle Burger, Truffle Fries, and Onion Rings. It's a little sad and disappointing for me to announce that the best thing I ate was the onion rings..and maybe the sauces on the side they gave to us.
I did not like how the truffle burger was just --drenched-- in truffle sauce. It made my entire meal soggy, and that's just not what a burger is about for me. I think if they go easier on the truffle sauce around here, people might like it better because it WAS actually a juicy and well-cooked burger.
The truffle fries were way too salty. We had to constantly wipe salt off of ours. The truffle sauce and cheese that's on it is already pretty salty! Hopefully they will be subtle next time with that seasoning!
When I had wine tasting classes, they taught us that umami was a balance of the tastes on your tongue. Yet, everything was either too salty or too soggy. Find a balance, and you'll get better reviews!
