Odd business decision to completely exclude vegan and vegetarian customers, and those who are avoiding meat because it's a health necessity (some cancer patients are advised to avoid meat, particularly red meat.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882089.post-50942773123675774802009-05-11T12:43:00.000-07:002009-05-11T12:43:00.000-07:00Loved this place when I first tried it but the ser...Loved this place when I first tried it but the service gets worse each time and they've already done away with the two best things on the menu -- the sweet potato chips and the lamb burger.

I wish he'd avoid the dreaded lobster salad roll. Lobster and mayo shouldn't cross paths.<br /><br />I'd be more liable to go to Umami if it was in Silver Lake. The pork burger was really good, but the fries were lousy last time. Hopefully they've improved.Food GPShttp://www.foodgps.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882089.post-58397734509404528212009-05-08T11:32:00.000-07:002009-05-08T11:32:00.000-07:00Hi Pat,

They ran out of veggie burgers and had not chicken or turkey options for my picky boyfriend and I just ordered a regular burger but after a half hour when they said it would be a while longer I left.
