Umami Burger

After hearing mixed reviews - from gushing accounts to up-turned noses - I wanted to check out Umami Burger.  Umami, is that unknowing but all-knowing sense of something-delicious-in-my-mouth-is-happening-now.  I like this word, and this name for the restaurant.  I also liked my burger, the namesake patty.  Meat plus portabello mushroom plus parmesan crisp plus sun-dried tomato did have that je ne sais quoi affect.  I could have done for more dipping sauces - house spread was a thousand island-esque dressing and the garlic aioli was addictive.



Onion rings also yummy, but I wanted more in the order. Then again, it was nice that you'd got what you paid for all around. Having a sparse plate with just a burger on it made the burger a heck of a lot more manageable over all.  We left happy and full but not devastated; a good indicator that we will be back.
