Umami Moto adds flavor, style to Milwaukee Street
With a sleek interior, attentive service and outstanding food, Tom Wackman, Omar Shaikh and Michael Polaski's collaboration makes an easy entrance into one of Downtown's trendier streets. Envision smooth, black, individually strung stone pillars and walls, highlighted with glimmering glass tile and bar stool cushions so plush, you literally sink into a seat at the bar.
