Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of Quince Restaurant from around the web.
"It's table seven's first time boys, sprinkle a little crack on their pea shoots, I want them coming back. Because the food was good, each dish completely different and tasty...."
"When the food started to arrive, it was, in true Tusk style, the work of a perfectionist. It’s not bright, like the food you’ll find at another breed of Michelin-starred restaurant such as Manresa; you also won’t find any of the trickeries of molecular ga..."
"I was extremely happy with the main dish. The braised oxtail in red wine and clove was very flavorful, and ever so tender...."
"The dish itself — served with honey and sugarcoated walnuts, ideal foils to the salty cheese — was equally delightful, although the sweetness seemed slightly out of place with the main course still to come...."
"It was early in her 12-year stay at Chez Panisse that Mary Jo Thoresen, now pastry chef and co-owner of Jojo on Oakland’s Piedmont Avenue, learned that success sometimes comes from not struggling with the insurmountable. “We had this dessert o..."
"Once in a blue moon a restaurant comes along that is so perfect you wouldn't change a thing. In a warmly elegant room with Venetian chandeliers and art photos of quinces, Lindsay and Michael Tusk express their passion for the pleasures of the table in car..."
"It is caloric, surprisingly palatable, and, eaten regularly with a good multivitamin, could probably even sustain life for a middling period of time. It is also, however, too simple and, as a result, though maybe entirely deserving of love (having been a..."
"Pici Toscani ($19) Juniper scented boar ragu, topped with dried mushrooms. Very meaty dish with lots of hearty boar meat and chewy home made pasta. The dish tasted ok but was extremely oily and salty...."
"Its discreet location in a quiet residential neighborhood hasn't stopped this tiny and predominantly white-hued restaurant from becoming one of the city's hottest reservations since it opened in late 2003. With only 15 tables, diners are clamoring for a s..."
"Their restaurant, QUINCE, which is in San Francisco is one of the hardest reservations to make, and for good reason (in this case!)...."
"After my internship ended, I had around two weeks for about a dozen restaurants--some of which required reservations weeks in advance. You can guess by the title of this post that Quince was on my list...."
"The dish itself — served with honey and sugarcoated walnuts, ideal foils to the salty cheese — was equally delightful, although the sweetness seemed slightly out of place with the main course still to come...."
"The warm welcome offered by Lindsay Tusk attracted significant praise, with one person telling us “she greets her guests as if they were coming to her home for dinner." ..."
"On my visits, the starters sparkled. Pumpkin-and-chestnut soup, its two main elements—one a wintry brown, the other an autumnal orange—separated yin-and-yang-like in the bowl, achieved a perfect earthy balance. ..."
""What I realized was that anything a diner craves from a previous visit will be replaced with something that's just as exciting next time around. That makes every return visit to Quince just as exciting as opening night...."
"The cooking nicely matches the dining room's mood of unforced high style. If the Meetinghouse's menu was exemplary New American, Quince's reflects a definite Franco-Italian – and Chez Panisse – tilt...."
"We ate sweetbreads ($16), crisp and golden on the outside, velvety inside, scattered with parsnip, artichokes and shaved white truffle, a winter fantasy plate...."
"On the menu, house-made pastas are a highlight, with combinations such as gnocchetti with octopus and Roman broccoli, and pappardelle with a sauce of suckling pig, wild fennel and black cabbage. ..."
"The stellar cooking of Michael Tusk, veteran of Chez Panisse and Oliveto, served in a comfortable but formal setting, features the best meats and seasonal produce in a constantly changing menu of starters, meats and fish, and (our favorite) pastas. Some o..."
"I ordered the sweetbreads ($16), which were pan-roasted after it was apparently coated with either a bread coating or flour. The coating made the sweetbreads not as crispy, but added a soft tender texture to it that was different and, actually, quite enjo..."
"The converted 19th century apothecary, I can only imagine, has undergone a transformation similar to the slow-simmered quince. The white shelves and drawers are still there, but now bear elegant wine stems, white pottery, urns holding dramatic flowers and..."
"After reading rave reviews on Tripadvisor, I was surprised to see such tiny portion sizes. My salad had no more than a tablespoon and a half of lettuce, and the...."
"Quince offers more than a decent meal. The food here has soul. But it has not much passion – pretty and tasty, but not much more...."
