Best Restaurants for Creative Cuisine in Whitestone

Honestly pretty noisy but I feel like it’s intentional so the tables feel more secluded. Personally wish the seats didn’t have a stool separating when dining for 2 but that’s more preferential. The food is phenomenal staff is so so friendly—it feels like they are background actors haha. The space is very intentional well done. Aquavit does not even compare to this if a date is what you’re looking for. The food is also very interesting while aquavit is more classical well done Swedish dishes this is a great space for a date as the dishes give you something to talk about with your partner that pertains to the space you’re in.

delicious , every single time. I’ve tried various appetizers , sushi rolls , entrees, etc and everything is phenomenal. The restaurant is clean, and they take pride in their restaurant

It was good quality sushi, but it was too salty and spicy even when we requested less spice. Also, the restaurant is in a former diner, which makes the ambience attractive because it’s been remodeled, but it’s stuck in that configuration.

The best meal we’ve ever had. The tasting menu was incredible and the wine pairings were perfect. The service was impeccable and our every need was anticipated. We will definitely be back!

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.
