   We always love Fumi but hadn’t been for maybe a year and the food was even better than we remembered. I think there is a new chef. Everything was delicious. Highly recommended, lovely staff and the new sofa is super comfy.

   Pretty terrible dining experience. Saturday evening and there was no wine, Prosecco, champagne or lemonade available. Shortage of menus and staff complaints about deliveries. Service was poor and the food disappointing. Offered the chance to visit again but declined, will not be returning.

   Excellent, friendly service yet not obtrusive. Interesting and varied wine list and superb food beautifully presented. Couldn’t fault a thing.

   The first two times we visited Fumi it felt like a real treat. Unfortunately the last two visits have been incredibly disappointing with problems in the kitchen and long wait times on the food on both occasions. Sadly wouldn’t recommend.

   The food at Fumi is really the star of the show! We came about a year and half ago and had the Omakase 4 dish menu. We then came back for Valentines day this year and while we were hoping to have the same again (I also emailed ahead to ask if we could turn up for omakase), I wasnt told that they would only be doing a 7 dish omakase menu which cost significantly more. This was a little dissapointing upon arrival but understand if the kitchen is only expecting to do one omakase set menu. However, we stuck about for the food as we know its brill and went for the salmon, pork, and the moriawase tenpura. All was delicious. The great food could be even better supported by an improvement in service. Unfortunately another table nearby felt compelled to complain about it, which left us a bit apprehensive before ordering. It did unfortunately take 30 mins for us to order (think we might have been forgotten at the back) and we had to get the attention of a waiter to do so. It was a bit strange as well, that multiple dishes seemed to go to tables they werent for, and servers seemed confused. Slightly dissapointed that there were no dessert wines also as these were visible on the menu, but were told they didnt have these due to change in menu, again not a big deal. We also were asked if we had paid, when we hadnt yet -perhaps a general lack of communication between managers and servers? Everyone was polite and We didnt mind the wait, as the food is so good. A generally good experience, and worth visiting for the fantastic food that had us so full!

   The atmosphere and decor of the restaurant was lovely. The food was amazing and the cocktails were also great. The only thing that let down the restaurant a little was the service. The staff didn’t seem to know who ordered what, what table was what number…etc. just seemed a bit disorganised. But overall a really nice valentines meal.

    Food was well presented and lovely flavours. A little on the pricey side.
