Umu is a great venue, feels very exclusive and hidden away. The staff are very attentive and the food was interesting as well as very tasty. We tried some great Sake too. Its a great place to bring someone for a special and interesting evening out.

There were a few negatives from our visit though. We ordered the signature tasting menu but when the table next to us came to order the same, they were told it had sold out. Not great since that is probably the reason why most people book in the first place and it was only 9pm. Also as we progressed through the tasting menu ourselves we got a definate impression that they were short of some dishes as some of the promised dishes didn't turn up and others came at the wrong time. Maybe they were just having an off night, either way a Michelin starred restuaurant with these prices should be better prepared.

I had heard that lots of celebrities go to Umu and I'm not surprised. The food at Umu is healthy and delicious, perfect for the celebrity waistlines I should think!
