A cute friend of mine took me here for dinner. I think it was a date, maybe one of those unsaid situations. Needless to say we had a great time starting the evening at Umami.
Upon entering I was immediately impressed with the decor and ambiance which enveloped me. It was literally like dipping into a trendy, cave amongst old-town Chagrin Falls. Light, modern asian decor and soft, upbeat music. The kitchen was small and open. The dining room has seating for maybe 25.
I was excited to try the food. We ordered Goat Cheese Dumplings to start with. Fantastic. Great flavor, nicely presented. Definitely recommend. Followed the dumplings with Sesame Noodles and a seared Tuna main course. Both were tasty. I wouldn't call them amazing, but simply Asian pretty much sums up the taste. They were well prepared.
I paired dinner with a Kirin light beer, and my cute friend enjoyed a tasty Malbec.
I had a nice experience.
