New restaurant in Seattle
Seattle’s Belltown loses Bada lounge and gains Umi Saki House. We thought we’d check it out. Umi is the same location and owner as Bada was before it. Umi (”ocean” in Japanese) take the place of Steven’s previous restaurant which closed mid-February 2006 after a four-and-a-half year run. Steven isn’t exactly your standard restaurateur—he graduated from the University of Washington in industrial design and worked at Microsoft on user interfaces. “One six-month project was enough for me,” laughs Steven.
The new place is a much more evolved (and improved) affair. There’s an open kitchen, a tatami room, a semi-private dining room, sushi bar and back yard patio. Diners at the sushi bar look through a window into the “back yard” and see trees. Skylights let in natural light. Diners on the patio will look at trees and a shingled wall—the “outside” of the house.
We loved it. When in Seattle check it out.
