★★★★☆ 4.0 Marco P · Nov 2025

Really enjoyed our dinner here. The vibe is laid back but elegant and warm. Server was very nice and attentive. On to the food, we had three starters. The nest egg one, scallop based one and the sausage vegetable. I like the scallops the best, presentation was nice, uni good as well. Drinks are well priced, had a Negroni, vesper, Old Fashioned and one glass of 2016 Pauillac. All were good, very reasonably priced as well. Mains we had truffle pasta, lobster pasta and the ribeye. The truffle pasta was a great portion and they slice the truffle right there and then. I didn’t taste the lobster one but looked quite nice and a decent portion. The ribeye I ordered was tasty but visually disappointing. Looked mangled and in three oblong pieces. For $72 you’d expect impeccable presentation on the

Once again we had an amazing experience at Tourmaline. For appetizers we had assortment of cheese, pomegranate, chicory salad and a truffle pasta .The cheese assortment was delicious, the salad nicely balanced flavors and the pasta was flavorful. Then Chef Yvan presented us with DUCK À LA PRESSE. The presentation and combination of flavors and sides were fantastic. First time we tried this dish and it definitely did not disappoint and it surpassed our expectations. To finish our meal we shared the Raspberry Pavlova and the Chocolate Pod for dessert. For those who are Chocolate lovers, the Chocolate Pod was rich and creamy and for those who like sweet and tart flavors the Raspberry Pavlova is the perfect choice. The staff makes you feel welcomed and are attentive. We will definitely be goin

We live in the city and came all the way over due to friend’s recommendation, unfortunately it was a bit disappointing. Overall, I feel that they are trying very hard but unfortunately the cooking technique is just not there even though the price is competitive with fine dinings in the city such as 425 and Daniel Boulud’s restaurants. Atmosphere: 5 star as it’s very cute, but the restaurant is right next to a funeral house…for those who care Cocktails: delicious, we ordered espresso martini Wine: we ordered two different white wines by glass…not impressed Food: Appetizer: eggs in the nest, okay, not bad Pasta: lobster pasta, pretty good Main: We ordered sea bass and pork tenderloin which is one of the specialties. Fish - hum…the plate was pretty but the skin was not crispy and no flavo

Our new favorite restaurant in Forest Hills! Every dish was cooked, prepared and plated to perfection. The servers and staff were terrific as well, and the ambiance was upscale yet cozy. So glad we came and can't wait to be back!

Great addition to Forest Hills. The food, service and atmosphere were outstanding. Love the attention to detail and the personable service. Some standout dishes was their version of Tuna Tartare, goat cheese ravioli, the red snapper special and Poulet Farcie.
