Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Jamaica

A hidden gem in Midtown East! For outstanding Mexican cuisine, Tan is an excellent choice. We had the Yucatan Chicken and the Short Rib al Carbon and both were impeccably prepared and plated. This is a NYC restaurant that you don’t want to overlook!

We felt instantly transported by the whimsical pawn shop storefront that conceals the exquisite restaurant hidden behind a door at the back. The eclectic items in the shop are all for sale, adding a playful and unique element to the dining experience. Upon entering the restaurant, we were welcomed by vaulted ceilings, brass accents, and a moody, stylish bar that set the tone for the space. We were seated near the front and warmly greeted by an attentive waiter. For brunch, our party ordered a variety of dishes: my son enjoyed the decadent velvet waffles, my mother-in-law savored the Shakshuka eggs, my wife relished the ribs, and I indulged in the skirt steak and eggs. Each dish was perfectly seasoned and eagerly devoured. The ambiance added to the experience—a lively yet relaxed Sunday crowd created a pleasant hum of conversation that filled the spacious room without being overpowering. We had no trouble hearing one another and appreciated the balance of energy and comfort. Overall, the experience was delightful from start to finish, and we left already planning our next visit to this hidden gem.

Very good omakase experience. The chef was very nice and communicative about what he was serving. Patient with our desire to take videos and pictures. Food was very fresh and larger portions than other places. The wagyu beef was worth the added price. The omakase was in the back away from the general restaurant which seems to be filled up as well.

This was our first time at the new location, and it was stunning! The food was as delicious as always, and our server was fantastic. But unfortunately, she had to leave as we were finishing dinner. We would have loved to meet the server who would be taking over since we were done with our dessert and waiting for someone to come over. Romina helped us with our coats as we left, and I took a moment to ask about the space upstairs. She was so kind and gave us a quick tour. Even though we had a great time, Armani will still be one of my favorite restaurants in NYC.

Food is so good and happy hour is just unbeatable! I am definitely visiting this place again!
