Sushi and service was exceptional as usual. Umi does not disappoint!! We had a few dietary issues and everything was accommodated. We did the omakase and our final dish of lobster and scallop in an uni cream sauce was flat out amazing. We finished with dessert and had the crepe cake. Perfection! Loved our very kind server (I wish I could remember his name) but he went out of his way for us and it did not go unnoticed. Thank you!!

Overall was good food! The sushi tasted really fresh! Great tuna, great rice had the eel roll. My only opportunity I can see for this restaurant personally is that the booths were not very comfortable for a lower back. Simple change could be to request a chair instead. sushi
