Umami Burger Wicker Park

Great food, good drinks, ok service. The server, Michelangelo, appeared to be the only server on a Tuesday night (with one bartender/one hostess) and as a result the service was very, very slow. Given the restaurant was slammed, there were multiple 4 tops and even a 6 top, this is more of a critique of the management (scheduling/staffing considerations) than the servers attention to detail. This would not dissuade me from going again, but maybe I would do carryout next time.

Absolutely delicious. I recommend the sliders so you can taste a selection of offerings. Great for vegetarians and meat eaters alike.

I celebrated my birthday dinner at Umami burger with 19 friends. The restaurant and Kira accommodated us and made the planning a breeze! I was shocked that they seated all of us together and still had excellent service, delicious food, and made us feel like a priority. They even treated me to a piece of delicious complimentary pecan pie. If I had to plan my birthday all over again, this is the place I’d do it without a doubt! We’ll definitely be regulars here.
