Opening night at the Upper East Side location and it did not disappoint. From start to finish, everything was lovely. We made a reservations on resy, and due to our earlier dinner time were able to be sat immediately (although there were comfortable seats to wait in for the next dinner seating). Everyone was very kind and attentive, ensuring we liked the dishes. My only complaint would be that I finished my water with two courses left and never got a refill, but new people were coming in at that time and I think they just got a little busy, so I'm not holding it against them! I got the $69 omakase, 12 pieces of sushi and a hand roll, and added an oyster for the finish. While I certainly had a few favorites, I can honestly say that every bite was delicious. They were very nice about substitutions, allowing me the Chu toro instead of Wagyu beef as I'm a pescatarian. There is also a larger $100 omakase menu which seems like it would definitely be worth the price, but the smaller menu certainly filled me up. The restaurant has a very open, well lit floor plan and the seating is all counter seats that are close together but still comfortable. The music level was appropriate for background, pop music that provided a fun atmosphere but wasn't obnoxious. I'm so happy Sushi by M has arrived on the upper east side, I honestly can't wait to return.
