    a variety of food items being prepared
    Kemi A.

    I really enjoyed my meal. I got the rice and peas, Pernil and plantains. I requested some of the oxtail gravy on top of the rice. They just started serving lunch when I arrived so everything was fresh. I did take away because I had to go back to work. You can dine in as well, and they have an area for outdoor dining. They have a variety of options if you want Pork, Beef, Chicken, Fish etc. Price is decent and portions are big. There was a small bit of oxtail (from the gravy) on my rice so I got to sample the oxtail. Flavorful as well. I actually went back to get another plate to take home for my mother, that's how much I enjoyed it. Normally I don't come to this area but I was here for work, and I sent my coworkers there to get their lunch as well.

    Definitely not chicken

    My mom has eaten take out from here before and has always been satisfied. I decided to try it today on my way home and can safely say i will probably not be back. The girl at the counter was rude. She stood there ignoring me. When I asked what a certain soup was, she spooned it to show me and said chicken. I told her I would like one large soup and an order of plantains to go. Once she had packed it, she asked if that was all I wanted. I said yes. She mumbled some number and held out her hand but I didn't hear her so I said "how much is that?" She responded, "cash or credit?" I said "cash, but how much is it?" She said "$16." I gave her $16 And she walked away from me without saying another word. $16 for soup and plantains?!?!?! The plantains were ok, but not great. But ok.. I go home, pour some soup and am disgusted. There is no chicken. There isn't even any meat. There is only bones and skins of what I think might be pork, but can't really be sure. There was one chunk of carrot and two whole, undercooked potatoes/yuca? in a sort of tasty but very salty broth. I couldn't stomach it enough to eat it even though i was very hungry $16 literally in the trash.

    Decent dominican food, many options. The service could be a bit better but overall is not a bad place to eat.

    a buffet with a variety of food items

    Came in on a Friday around 7:30 it wasn't too crowded. But the set up was a tragedy, it's one line but then somehow people get confused as to where they're paying and who's next because the cashier and other workers are calling random people up to the register, I just don't get it. The food was good but it needs a bit more improvement.

    Its soooooo good !

My fellow yelpie Jeannie has been raving about their duck à la pressie for ages and we finally organized an outing so she can share her love of Tourmaline and the duck with us. Thank you Jeannie. The duck in itself deserves an award. You can tell that Yvan the head chef and owner has put so much detail into creating this magnificent dish for his customers. From picking the perfect farm to order the duck from in PA, to purchasing the machinery for churning out the sauce from the bones and internals of the duck, to incorporating different aspects of duck preparations from different cultures (French Normandy, Chinese roast duck) and teaching to Daniel in the city for some tips. You know Yvan has put his heart and soul into this one dish. I love how this dish is prepared table side by the chef himself with so many different stories and presentations. He starts off the duck with a serving of the perfect tot crispy skin served with his seasonal sauce. We had rhubarb. We were the stars of the room with everyone envying us. I can't recommend this experience enough. Worth every penny! In addition to the duck, we ordered some apps, salad and a fish dish. The seasonal cocktail Noveau Peach so refreshing and delish and dessert wine was a perfect accompaniment to the desserts. The atmosphere or the restaurant was cozy and high end. Lots of couples on cute romantic dates. The owners Yvan and Rebecca are the sweetest. I met Rebecca at our building bbq that they catered and she was just so lovely. Mentioned to her that we were going to see her the following week and she remembered me. Definitely check out Tourmaline. A true gem in FH and so happy to have them here.

We really looked forward to this dinner having read about the chef but were very disappointed with the entrees! The kale salad and celery root latkes were good as were the desserts. Too bad as Forest Hills is really lacking in fine dining restaurants !!!

The floral displays are fun and are probably the highlight of the visit. The space is clearly designed for photos, and I can see why it would be popular for birthdays, showers, or other special occasions. They seem to go the extra mile when it comes to creating a celebratory atmosphere. Service was excellent from start to finish. The staff at reception and at the table were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Food-wise, we tried the Kung Pao calamari and wagyu meatballs after seeing other reviewers rave about them, but both felt a little gimmicky to me. Our group mostly stuck with more traditional brunch items, including breakfast burritos and omelettes, and those were fine. Overall, I would not necessarily come here just for the food, but I would recommend it for the atmosphere, service, and special-occasion vibe. It is a great spot if you want a pretty setting, good hospitality, and plenty of photo-friendly areas.

The whole outside smells like urine...just reeks. Inside, you'll wait 10+ minutes to be seated, despite having a reservation and there being multiple empty tables because the hostess is just not there. When you finally do get seated, the hostess just drops the menus on the tables and walks away, doesn't wait for you to be seated, doesn't say "enjoy your meal!" The floor is dirty, the edges of the table have obviously not been wiped down (crusted old food in the cracks) and just a general greasy, unclean vibe. The ambiance is nonexistent- no music aside from a man at the bar watching tiktoks on his phone at full volume. They rush you to put your order in even though it will take like 40 minutes to arrive despite (and I cannot emphasize this enough) the fact that the restaurant is a ghost town. The food sucked, we had 2 meals completely comped, but the bill somehow comes to over $50 with one burger and two non alcoholic drinks because of the 20% service charge. Even after we flagged the awful food (twice!)we still had to wait almost 30 minutes for the manager to come over. This was just terrible and it's obvious the staff does not care and is just going through the motions.
