The most exciting restaurants opening across the US

Top chefs are opening diverse concepts including tasting menus, casual counters, and premium international cuisine to meet evolving diner preferences amid economic challenges.

  • This year a national roundup previews top chefs' openings across New York, Miami and other major U.S. food cities, including Masahiro Yoshitake's New York counters and Haruka Katayanagi's Miami debut.
  • Economic pressure — namely inflation and higher living costs — is prompting chefs and restaurateurs to shift toward accessible counter-service formats and theatrical tasting menus.
  • Standout innovations include a $350 Tajimaguro wagyu tasting led by Hiroshi Morito and an $225, 18-course multispace tasting at Oyatte, emphasizing tiny counters.
  • Operators are shifting toward efficient counter models, with high-profile expansions like Sushi Yoshitake's new restaurant drawing national attention, while operational changes aim to control costs.
  • Amid these openings, beverage innovation and martini programs stand out, with Boka's Ashley Santoro crafting savory cocktails and old-world wines while Bertha González Nieves develops agave-based drinks and Will Patton builds expansive martini offerings.
