So glad I decided to drive by Governors and come here for breakfast. The omelet was not greasy,…read morethe vegetables appeared fresh (compared to what I had experienced at governors) Muffin too was good. Wait staff was solicitous and it was a good stop. Don't let the fact that it's adjacent to a gas station change your mind

I have been here a couple of mimes, once very recently. Overall we were satisfied with our visit…read more To begin with, despite it also being a busy gas station and convenience store, with m wife's mobility issues we didn't have to park far away or have me drop her off. The server was friendly and attentive, so though she forgot to bring a couple of small items we requested, it was easily fixed. This seems to be one of those basic American style restaurants: not with a broad or imaginative selection, nor one that I'll knock your socks off, but rather with basic food offerings of middling quality. For example, my cheeseburger and onion ring were fine, but not such that I would bring them up later when talking to a friend about restaurants in general. My wife ordered the chef salad, and it was generous, but it took up so much room on the oval plate that she risked pushing items onto the table with every bite. Bringing a second plate from the start would have been a good idea, but she fixed it by asking early for a box to bring some home, as she knew she wouldn't be able to finish it anyway. She was pleased that there was no extra charge for the packet of guacamole she requested. Sometimes it seems places up charge for every little thing. Speaking of prices, they seem elevated for what they offer, but when I thought about it, it felt high compared to what we were paying pre-inflation a year or two ago, not compared to other restaurants. So it is dependable enough so I would be willing to go back (if they are like smaller Dysarts branches they must have good pizza) but it will not be a destination restaurant for us.

Service was friendly and quick, casual vibe in a unique themed setting that made for a fun feel overall. One can even enjoy couch seating to relax and catch up on conversation over the meal here. Stop in and check it out!

Happy hour is a "steal"!

We had the house wine and tried the pretzel which was enormous and served with a queso and delicious tender, lean pulled pork with house made pickles. We also tried the smash burger, coleslaw (yum), baked beans (extra yum) and the potato salad was cold but underwhelming. The music is great and at a decent decibel where you're not hearing the ax throwing too much. Will be back again soon

It was the very best meal we have had here (and we have had a lot of wonderful meals). For our first courses, the tuna tartare was so fresh and paired perfectly with the homemade chips. My husband had the mussels and the broth was drinkable, it was so delicious. We both had the filet for our mains. They were perfectly cooked medium rare with craveworthy pave potatoes. We sat at the bar and Courtney was a wonderful host/server/bartender working the perfect balance of conversation and privacy.

Located in the heart of downtown Bangor, you can't miss this stop! Tucked on the corner of a busy…read moreintersection, but you won't have any difficulty finding it. Parking is also a non issue which means there's no excuse as to why you can't try this place! :) The space is very open, plenty of seating. They have tables and also single seats facing the window for optimal people watching. Service is quick. Menu is simple, you can order their options or even build your own bowl. Do yourself a favor and try the chicken katsu or breaded/fried chicken with the curry! DIVINE. My husband and I couldn't get enough and ordered to go the very next day. Coming from a big city, we felt there aren't a lot of options in Bangor, but Umami definitely stands out in terms of their flavor profile. Give it a shot!

If you are married to a meat and potato person - maybe not the best place...although they do have a fancy burger on the menu.

There were two hosts to greet me upon arrival. The space can be a little tricky to find if you've never been before.. if facing restaurant from the street you need to go to the right of it in a little alley way like spot and door is on your left in that space. The ambiance is upbeat and medium loud. Medium to dim lit with 7 or so spots at the bar and then tables near window or in dining room. There are wine, beer, and cocktail options. I had a blackberry cocktail with egg white, blackberry compote and gin. It was very good. Not too sweet or sour and light and fresh. The customers varied from older couples to dad and their kid to people in their early to mid 30's.
