Service Food Drinks Ambiance Everything was great All ***** We got in late . But staff was very accommodating. Overall experience was v good
They recently started offering lunch on Thursdays and Fridays and it's truly a 3-Michelin star experience. The freshest in season produce and every dish was a piece of art. Not too heavy so you can even make it back for your important afternoon meetings. Special shoutout to Z who took good care of us! Will be back.
The entire dining experience was phenomenal, but we particularly enjoyed our time with Craig. He curated very special whiskey cocktails for us with inventive flavors, providing interesting facts and histories about the ingredients along the way. Craig was extremely knowledgeable and friendly; the cherry on top to a perfect evening. Thank you team Quince!
My husband took me to Quince to celebrate my birthday a few weeks ago. We had an amazing time. The restaurant itself feels warm, calm, and beautiful when you walk in. The staff are welcoming and friendly, and shortly had us checked in and seated at our table. It was a thoughtful touch that the custom menus mentioned my birthday. We opted to order glasses of champagne from the champagne cart to start, and continued with different glasses of champagne through dinner. They didn't seem to have a sommelier, but sent over someone that seemed very knowledgeable about the champagnes to help us with our selections. He was most helpful in selecting glasses that would complement the various bites and courses. Dinner itself was fantastic. Each course was elegantly plated, and the staff truly cared what you thought of the food. The highlights for us were the vegetable dishes and the pastas - Quince truly surprised us with how amazing these dishes could be. Service was impeccable, and our server was funny and engaging. Dessert included a chocolate and quince flavored birthday cake as well as a selection of tasty bites from the dessert course. We had these packed to-go as we were running out of stomach space at this point, but thoroughly enjoyed them a few hours later in our hotel room. As you leave you are handed any items that were packed to-go, your custom menus, and a parting gift of a cup of hot chocolate. Our server even stopped us as we were about to leave to gift us a little bottle of olive oil as well. It really was a beautiful night all around.
We went for lunch which is a 4 course tasting menu. But let me tell you it's more than 4 course! They have so many small bites and personal touches along the way that in the end you are stuffed. The dining room and the ambience is amazing. Service is top notch. They also accommodate dietary restrictions and created a complete vegetarian menu for me. Overall we had a really great time.
