Contribute Feedback What David R likes about Umami:
Having read a previous critique that was less than complimentary on food decor I'm rather lost for words. Aesthetics are certainly a matter of personal preference and we all found the setting and decor very calming and very pleasant. More importantly the 6 course set menu was excellent, huge range of flavours and very dish delightful, fresh and well presented. We'd recommend it highly, it's tip top on every level.

What Hanno Weiss doesn't like about Umami:
...sadly the enjoyment was spoilt by a large piece of crab shell in one of the dishes. Rating reduced from a 5 to a 3 accordingly as this simply is not acceptable in a michelin starred restaurant. That apart, the food was an interesting fusion of classic and Asian cuisine. Dessert was especially good and refreshing.
Rudest treatment we have ever encounterd, anywhere in Europe. Owners and staff are contemptuous and dismissive. No one seemed to be enjoying their food or the place. Our hotel in Strasbourg was appalled when we told them about our treatment at this establishment.
I went to Umami with a friend, and were lucky enough to get a table in spite of a short notice booking. We had The Sakura menu, and overall, the food was excellent and the pairing with the wine did work out very well. The portions are not huge, but in a fine dining restaurant that is totally acceptable as the variety of flavors and scents contributes to the sensation of fulfilment. The cuisine is refined, with an excellent use of herbs and spices. Starter was Sashimi of Hamachi with Watermelon tartare and cucumber juice. All elements of the dish had their personality, As a second, there was a fish with a delicious broth. I am less convinced by the third (Angus beef) , which i did not find tender enough. Overall an excellent experience, even though i would have liked to be a bit more surprised, and i would have loved the dishes to have their own personality rather than being the perfect execution of each of the individual component. I would nevertheless recommend it all heartedly.
Delicious of the fun mouth with soft mignardises. The presentation was up to the flavours. The service is pleasant and efficient. The decoration is neat and harmonious, it is certain that the owners have a concern for detail (until the choice of the very beautiful dishes). We had a good night.
Excellent establishment, the kitchen is refined and of very high quality. We went there twice and we always enjoyed it. The changing menus over time, it's every time a new discovery!
Just an exquisite dinner. First of all a very warm and smiling welcome (despite the mask) and then impeccable service in 5 dishes. Flavours and tastes that blend perfectly, an irreproachable and magnificent presentation. In short, don't hesitate to go to Umami for dinner at a restaurant that wears her name very well
