Quince just went through a re-launch after remodeling. The new look is lighter, larger windows. Do check it out.
They have a full tasting menu, a shorter 4 course tasting and a lounge menu.
Price went up 10% from before it closed, service charge is up to 22%, plus 6% SF mandate, so expect to pay for the experience!
For parking, they don’t have valet and recommend an open air lot on Sansome that we couldn’t quite locate. However, we found street parking on Pacific right across from the restaurant so lucked out.
Overall a nice evening. Total time there a little over 3 hours.
but unfortunately other people have strong frowns on their faces that make it awkward to make conversation.
*Don't fall for the strongly encourage beverage to start the evening. Fortunately I am very familiar with this trick... but others may not know it's not included. So just a warning because it was very convincing.
First of all what happened to the 3-5 different selections of bread... If you have been to quince before. The bread selection was a stand out but no longer. Every aspect of Quince except for the brand new interior has declined. This is even a minimum food experience compared to even 1-2 Michelin stared category of restaurants. For example Avery is a 1 M star restaurant & at least has stand outs on the menu compared to Quince. All I can say is save your money go to TFL.. Go to Saison... etc because It's very likely you will be extraordinarily disappointed by the food at Quince. Even the sister restaurant next door is better. One of the dishes was a cavatelli pasta that had a undercooked bite to it
Unfortunately we discovered last night that the renovation has, for us, ruined the restaurant.
Loud “contemporary pop” music blasting so you have to fight to have a conversation is not our idea of fine dining. Half a dozen ignored requests to turn it down? I was literally begging— to no avail. And we were the largest party in the restaurant— a table of six. Total tab: multiple thousands.
Bad acoustics, no table cloths, plastic tables reminiscent of a summer camp dining hall?
Sorry but they have lost us — we won’t be going back, and will miss the old Quince: quiet, intimate fine dining at its best.
Delicate flavors made with incredible inventiveness and passion from an array of local ingredients dance across unique plates and spreads, involving the diner in an experience that is sometimes tactile, sometimes aural, sometimes olfactory, and always gustatorily pleasurable. Never have I so badly wanted to lick the plates and never have I been so without critique. There are no weak dishes here and my #1 complaint is that their delightfully long tasting menu provides quite literally MORE FOOD than a human needs for dinner. You may struggle to finish it all and that’s a darn tragedy.
So skip breakfast and lunch if you must and double the bread because it may be the best in the world.
The very first time I went here, a fellow diner mentioned a dish they had eaten at another Michelin restaurant in New York. Within 20 minutes Quince had recreated the dish and served it to us! Are you kidding?! They literally invented food on the spot and it was amazing, and free.
This place probably deserves to be 4 Michelin stars. Simply the best, bar none.
