This was our third visit to UMI and they continue to exceed our expectations on every visit. Along with a couple of dishes we knew, we tried some new items. The tuna tartare with crispy rice was amazing. The New Page roll continued to be our favorite; the lemon slices make it so unique and refreshing. The cocktails were also excellent. Our servers were professional but friendly, and were very attentive to our needs. I spilled some dipping sauce on the table and before we could even say anything, the team swooped in to clean up, replace our placemats, and get us resettled. UMI is unquestionably the best restaurant we have experienced in Atlanta.
