Really good three stars Michelin restaurant. Good service, high quality environment and the high quality food from appetizer to main course and desert.

Possibly the most luxurious dining experience I've ever had and I've eaten all over the world. Every course of this tasting menu was done to perfection. If you confuse pretentiousness with luxury, this is not the place for you. It's expensive and formal. I was a little put off when I read that they have a dress code, being the rebel that I am. Once inside you will see why. The waitstaff was like a highly trained army with utmost courtesy and attentiveness. We were invited into the kitchen for one of our courses. That kitchen is a totally heads-down operation to a person. Chef/Owner Michael Tusk came to our table (there is only one 2 top table) and chatted with us and I got to compliment him on his art collection, which adorns the walls of Quince with spectacular opulence. The one negative is that we were seated in the section where the staff goes from the kitchen to all the other dining areas so it was constant "background action" whizzing by our table which was distracting from the experience, thus the "army" reference. Not just one at a time but 6 or 7 people all in a line heading to and from the kitchen. Next time I will request different seating. When making reservations make sure to say that you don't want to eat in the way back in front of the private dining room and the somm station.

This is a high end restaurant. They accommodate vegetarians well & also those who don't drink alcohol. We had their vegetarian tasting menu. The food was very good & creative, using unique items such as herbs & other ingredients. You have to leave 3 hours to dine here. Come here for a dining experience or special occasion. I am not giving it a 5 as the desert we got was not very good - essentially some chocolates, caramel & one other item - I would have expected a high end restaurant to prepare something such as a cake or mousse, for the price we paid of $250 per person, plus drinks, taxes, & tips. The Taj Campton Place still stands as my favorite high end place in San Francisco The 1st time we dined at Quince a few years ago one item came to us which was not vegetarian, but they more than made up for that error with the manager personally checking everything after & this time we did not have that problem. The 1st time we dined here, we were also shown the kitchen - very clean & organized.

The good news and not so good news!
The food was refined and excellent. The atmosphere was a bit pretentious....too much. (Note: we have experienced many comparably rated restaurants)
The chef's preparation in the kitchen was special.
But the service was incredibly slow. There was a very large party that arrived as we did. However this caliber restaurant should have been able to handle it MUCH better.

We decided to finish our Cali tour with Quince. Starting from calling and making a reservation was the best customer service. We needed to catch a flight after dinner so they accommodated our luggage. Then when we started our dinner, this place was out of this world. The food is so good I can't explain everything because it will ruin the experience. Having the unknown is what truly makes it worth it. Going into the restaurant knowing that your going to be taken care of and enjoy every moment of it. I highly recommend for going for a special occasion, going to try probably the best Michelin star(s) restaurants and you will need to come here once in your life. The authenticity of the food and preparation of the cutlery and plates, to bringing our luggage into our Uber driver, is just a glimpse of what is to be expected. Highly recommend it!
