It was my wife birthday and she wanted the waiter to take a picture of us. The floor supervisor kept rushing the waiter off and it put a damper on the dinner. This was done twice

Excellent service! Like top quality. Food was really good. I prefer the yellow tail jalapeno at a different restaurant but Umi’s is very good. Love the lobster toban-yaki. Spider roll was yummy. Sake negiri also tasty. Chocolate bento box dessert was amazing. It’s pricey but we will return for special occasions.

I had a wonderful experience here. This was one of the few places I could find on OpenTable for Christmas Eve, and I definitely wanted a reservation just in case Google didn’t appropriately reflect a business’s holiday hours. I travel for work and hadn’t been home in weeks, so there were no groceries in the house and since I only made it to town that day and stores closed early, I didn’t get the chance to pick up anything for that night. My dad had a much longer drive than I did- due to a storm it took him 15 hours. As soon as he got to town we headed straight there. The service and the food were wonderful. They never made us feel rushed, even though we ended up being the last table to leave. It was so nice to get to sit down and have Christmas Eve dinner with my dad after not seeing him since last Christmas (due to work). They definitely helped us have a Merry Christmas!
