Tourmaline

Ranked from the ratings we track · nobody has written it up yet

Tourmaline places in the top of what we track around here, on public ratings alone. Nobody’s written it up yet — that part is open.

Tourmaline is one of the highest-ranked American spots we track — #60 of 1,166 — and it sits in Forest Hills. Its Sweet Score of 91 rests on 103 ratings. It rates in the top quarter while reaching far fewer people than a typical place in its category, which is what puts it on our underrated list. Expect $$$$ prices.

We eat at a couple of places a week and write those up in full — unannounced, paid for out of our own pocket. Most places get their number from the regulars long before we get there, and that is the point: forty people who actually eat somewhere know more than one critic who went twice.

Nobody has written about this one yet. The first one in is the one everybody reads.
