"“M is a new omakase counter inside of Umi in Buckhead. Courses like oysters in spicy cauliflower puree, flash-seared wagyu, and fatty slabs of nigiri are all fantastic small bites (which is why M makes our Hit List). But it’s the lobster dish, which comes midway through the 21-course meal, that makes me want to pause the fast-moving parade of plates so I can have a moment. It’s a sweet, tender chunk of lobster tail cooked in a red bourbon sauce and topped with fresh chimichurri and a zing of yuzu zest. Next visit, I’ll beg our neighbor to trade us their lobster in exchange for a few cups of sake.”—Nina Reeder, senior editor" - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams, jacinta howard
