Absolutely phenomenal dinner. I would die happy after this meal. Beautiful beautiful food. Extremely thoughtful wine pairing. I cannot speak highly enough. Elegant and so delicious. Incredible.
I am a total foodie and let me tell you!.... this place is definately a place id return to in a heart beat! From the atmosphere, to the service AND moat importantly the food! All their dishes are carefully crafted in the kitchen to give you a great experience, from the visual to your taste buds! There is not one thing we disliked! Excellent!
Absolutely impeccable. We took my mom here to celebrate her birthday. We did the 5 course which I absolutely recommend doing if you go. We also doubled the first course by going with both the Chefs Spread and the oysters. Hands down the best oysters I've ever had the pleasure of dining on. The staff is friendly and attentive. We had a private dining room and they were more than happy to accommodate a floral arrangement I had sent over for the occasion. I almost hesitate posting how truly incredible this place is, as I wish to keep it my secret gem in the desert - But I could not live with myself if I didn't express how deeply divine the entire meal, atmosphere and experience was. Update: We have been back a few more times for our anniversary and my birthday and they are still immaculate. Do yourself a favor and get the A5 Wagyu!
Quintessence offers a delightful farm-to-table dining experience with French-inspired elements. The restaurant boasts a beautiful ambiance for casual dining, with truly fantastic menu options. Everything on the set menu is healthy and fresh. The restaurant is very spacious with various seating options inside and outside, with a cute and trendy Arizona vibe, we can enjoy the view to go with our meal. We ordered a “four courses” set which is very scrumptious, every ingredient is so fresh, luscious, and lush. We can tell the chief is trying to present every dish in another level of astronomy skill and transforming the food scene into artistic genres. The kitchen tour is wondering.
Food was fabulous. Served was great. Took a tour of the kitchen and staff were wonderful. My favorite part was the atmosphere, quiet and relaxing. No rush at all. Just a nice night.
We had a delicious, fresh, and unique meal at Quiessence. The service was impeccable with high attention to our experience and dietary needs. One person in my party was vegan and gluten free which we confirmed ahead of time. Upon being seated, the menu provided was standard and looked difficult to accommodate which made us worried at first but they assured us that everything could be modified which was true and done so very thoughtfully. I will note we did the 4 course meal which was expected to be 2-2.5 hours and we were there for over 3, probably due to the modifications required. It wasn’t a problem but we were feeling antsy by the end, so just be aware and perhaps plan to eat a little earlier if you will need mods! Overall, a very enjoyable and special experience for absolutely anyone to attend, would highly recommend!
This is my second time reviewing this incredible hidden gem, and it deserves every bit of praise. The food was absolutely spectacular, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Chef Dustin, you are a true culinary genius. Every element on the plate was purposeful and flawlessly executed, elevating each dish to an art form. Also every time I go I just keep think about those amazing apple cannoli's. Highly recommend that dessert. If you’re looking for a spot to really enjoy your meal and spend some quality time with good company, this is the place. It’s such a nice change from the fast paced vibe of most restaurants these days, here you can relax, savor your food, and enjoy meaningful conversations with your loved ones. Big thanks to our awesome server, Zach, who kept us laughing and made everything run smoothly. Shoutout to Lindsey and Jess for the beautiful presentation of each dish. And a huge thank you to the entire team for making the night so special and memorable. This place is truly one of a kind. :)
We visited this restaurant during our visit to Phoenix and had the best time. We sat outside and had the four course dinner. The ambiance was so peaceful and we felt like we had so much privacy. The service was incredible and the food was all delicious. I am a pescatarian and they were able to customize my meal and keep me informed about the ingredients of each dish. The servers even gave us a tour of the kitchen and we were able to meet the chefs and see all the food stations. This was a very elevated dining experience and we left very full and satisfied. The drinks were delicious and strong! Unfortunately, we were too full for dessert but really wish that we could have tried it. I strongly recommend eating at this restaurant while in Phoenix!
