Quince

Exceptional dining experience at Quince for dinner. The food is beautiful & delicious. We were surprised by chicken on the menu but it was the best we’ve ever had. The white asparagus & crab dish was another favorite. Details were perfect, service on point, each glass, knife, and plate carefully curated. The design & florals were lovely. The wine pairing was exceptional and the NA pairing was the best I’ve had anywhere. Highly recommend!

An intentional, considered and well-thought out vegetarian menu. Great depth of flavor and balanced courses. For drinks, we tried the non-alcoholic seasonal progression and a Chenin Blanc from Loire Valley. Both paired beautifully with the our 5-course menu. The autumnally inspired dessert was art on the plate. They sent us off at the door with a hot drink in a to-go cup which was a great touch for a chilly afternoon.

We came here to celebrate birthday. In the evening, there is only one 9-course set menu. The food is spectacular. The service is outstanding and the atmosphere is upscale. It is Michelin 3-star quality and well deserved. Considering there are only three 3-star restaurants in San Francisco. It is by all means a worthwhile visit.

Dining at Quince was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, every detail reflected precision, grace, and care. The atmosphere was calm, elegant, and inviting, with perfectly matched to the three-Michelin-star reputation. The seasonal tasting menu was outstanding. Each course felt purposeful and beautifully executed, with ingredients that clearly spoke to California’s best farms and producers. The presentation, flavor balance, and pacing were all flawless. What impressed me most, though, was the team’s genuine hospitality. The staff went out of their way to make sure we were completely comfortable, even taking the time to store our electric scooters safely during dinner. That small gesture says a lot about their awareness and willingness to accommodate guests beyond expectation. Quince delivers everything a fine-dining experience should be: precise, personal, and memorable. It’s a restaurant that truly earns its three stars and leaves you feeling valued from start to finish.

Wonderful lunch at Quince. The decor was elegant, understated and relaxing, yet interesting with all the different textures and tones in the room. I really enjoyed how inviting the atmosphere was, and felt that the decor reflected - yet firmly placing the focus on - the food at Quince. Service was attentive, formal and friendly at the same time, with details paid to what one responds to. When I commented on the beautiful dinnerware, a book on a Kyoto artisan from whom Quince gets some of their dinnerware was brought over, which I found to be sweet, and appreciative of the different elements that make Quince what it is. What I loved about the food was (in addition to the perfect techniques) its focus on ingredients yet with layers of flavor that felt just right for the season. Every dish seemed to flow from one to the other, while being unique. Creative, different, yet harmonious. This was definitely one for the books and hope I’ll get to return in the future.
