A sign-less stone exterior gives way to low-lit interiors, filled with clean lines and natural elements: smooth stones accent the bar and sushi counter and the bar top is made of grainy live-edge cedar. The space, divided by shoji-style screens housing orchids, features banquette seating both upstairs and down, where young, stylish couples and groups of friends convene. Later in the evening, the bar area becomes its own micro-scene with Marina singles mixing. Diners snack through the menu, which reads like a "greatest hits" of Asian cuisine.

Atmosphere! Great Sushi

by Bn2bwld

I recently went to Umami on a busy thursday night. Was very impressed with the reservation system. I placed my reservation online they confirmed with an email and called me the day of the event. Umami is set right off Union Street in the heart of the marina. The hostess knew exactly who I was and quickly took my date and I to our table. The service was prompt; the food was terrific. I asked the server to surprise me with two rolls and was amazed with the selections. To sum Umami up it is a wonderful place for a date and serves great sushi.

  • Pros: Original Rolls Great Service
  • Cons: None

Lovely Experience

by jjaeger

I truly enjoyed every aspect of Umami. I was a bit skeptical about going to the marina but you know what this place took that skeptasism away. Food, Service, Ambiance all 5 stars in my book.

When you go try the faded crane cocktail....WOW it was so good.

  • Pros: Everything

The Details on Umami

Fun Fact:

Chef Sam Josi and general manager Stryker Scales traveled to Japan before opening Umami to research authentic sake bar styling.

What to Drink:

Creative sake-based cocktails like the pale pink Hello Kitty are fresh and not overly sweetened.

Where to Sit:

Ask for the secluded downstairs corner booth or a table upstairs to avoid the cold draft from the door and awkward banquette stools.
