Quiessence is a fine dining, true farm to table restaurant located at The Farm at South Mountain, a 10 acre oasis by South Mountain. We have a 2 acre organic garden onsite that we utilize as much as possible for our dishes. Our menu changes regularly based on local and seasonal availability. We offer tasting menus with the option of doing 3, 4 or 5 courses. The restaurant itself is housed in the original farmhouse of the property giving the restaurant plenty of rustic charm. Patio dining is also highly sought after when the weather is nice.

    The ambiance, atmosphere, service and intimacy of the establishment were amazing. The food however was not up to par. The soup was bland, the pork was extremely fatty. The pairing of foods did not mesh well. The serving sizes were very minimal. The cost of the meal did not match the food we were provided with

    This was the ultimate dining experience! A group of six best girlfriends enjoyed the experience at Quiessence and we had the most amazing dishes. The presentation of the dishes was spectacular as was the flavor of every bite. Definitely I will be back again!!

    Presentation and food quality — just average and extremely overpriced. We left the restaurant hungry; as the portions for each course were very small. The restaurant charged us for a Cosmo drink; and no one ordered drinks. The staff was generally indignant; and it took a while for the restaurant to eliminate the charge. Would not return. neil — dinner June 6-2025.

    My partner and I have never experienced a multi course dining experience before last night. It was a celebration for her graduation and I wanted it to be special. We arrived 10 minutes early, as one always should. The hostesses let us know that we were too early and they were doing their pre shift meeting but because it was hot she would “make an exception” and seat us anyway. There were multiple fly’s buzzing around the table the entire evening. I understand this is on a farm, but that is not acceptable. Due to the type of experience this is supposed to be, everything should be outstanding. During the dining experience, the staff seemed unenthusiastic and drab. Merely regurgitating the explanations of the dishes. When we asked questions about the dishes we were told by the server that he’s a simple meat and potatoes kind of guy so really could not give much advice on what to choose. We needed refills on our water and tea’s and sat for 10+ minutes a few times to get that done. At one point we had asked 2 separate wait staff during a roughly 15 minute window for refills, to no avail. The 2nd lady, who was a busser, actually rolled her eyes when I mentioned I needed a refill and that I already asked someone else who never came back. She also never came back and we had to wait for the server to finally get those. I assume the server was too busy since he had at least 4 other tables other than ours. 4+ tables is a lot for a regular restaurant server to handle and give great service, much less one that proclaims exceptional service and an unparalleled experience. The busser that seemed dissatisfied with us also would clear dishes from other tables and leave ours. The overall experience was subpar at best. A multi course fine dining experience should be flawless. I understand that sometimes there are small hiccups, however, for the cost of the dinner and what the website describes the evening experience to be, it failed. This definitely was an unforgettable experience

    Absolutely phenomenal experience. And that’s what it is. A dining experience! If you’re looking to eat and be out in an hour, this is not for you. First, I want to say thanks for accommodating a vegetarian menu. Their offerings were outstanding. So creative and fresh! You select the number of courses and the culinary adventure begins! Service is top-notch and I love that they all help each other. A server from another table will always check on you when they walk by, or bus your plates, etc. We sat outside but it’s almost too hot to do so now that it is becoming summer but it was quaint and serene and quite lovely as the sun went down and the breeze picked up. They allowed us a tour of the kitchen and to meet all of the chefs. A very nice touch. This is not an inexpensive meal and you will get what you pay for. An amazing meal at an amazing location from amazing staff. We will be back!

    Great experience. Jordan was an excellent server, well versed on all items that came from the Farm itself and how non- Farm items were sourced. It’s an experience, not just a meal.

    The food exceeded our expectations. They made a simple charcuterie board into a work of art with delicate offerings of unusual tastes that were delicious and memorable. Smoked olives were a hit and an unexpected delight. Salmon and pork dinners were cooked perfectly...tender, moist. It was so nice to have food cooked exactly to the point of perfection. Made us think of all the times that we ate food that we thought was good, but this gave us a new barometer of how extraordinary food can be when done expertly. We loved every course. In regard to ambience and ease of getting to the restaurant, we found both lacking. Arriving at night, we had difficulty finding the parking area and restaurant. The lighting and signage were poor. The restaurant itself lacked the charm we expected with a farmhouse setting. The only thing that made it fancy was the table linens. Otherwise, it was shabby....and not chic. Regardless of the setting, we had a lovely time, delicious dinner and enjoyed our waitstaff. They offered a tour of the kitchen which was fun. Still recommend definitely!

    What a wonderful experience my wife and I had for our wedding anniversary at Quiessence at the Farm. Although it was a little out side of our usual restaurant stomping grounds, it was worth the 30 minute drive. My wife should get all the credit for finding this gem. She saw it on a list of establishments participating in restaurant week. Im so glad we gave it a try. It made a special day extra special. Our server, Alison, just so happen to be one of the owners and the wife of the executive chef. The whole experience was outstanding. Service was spot on and the food was inventive and well prepared. I especially liked the Chef’s Spread; a charcuterie board on steriods. A wonderful array of cheeses, preserves, friut, nuts and delicious pates. The other stand out for me was the bread pudding dessert. To top the evening off we were invited to take a tour of their kitchen. What a treat. There we meet Dustin, the talented chef, who was extremely friendly and inviting. The kitchen was emaculate and state of the art. A great experience to end a special night.

    A masterpiece of a resto. It is by all means one of THE finest restaurants in Phoenix - Arizona actually. Congratulations are in order to Chef/Owner Dustin Christofolo and his exceptionally extraordinary staff both in the kitchen and out. Quiessence is one of the true examples of farm-to-table and ever-changing seasonal cuisine located right in a farm. Their pastoral lure and relaxed country vibe offer an exceptional setting in which to both enjoy a remarkable atmosphere, with a serene and rustic décor and savor the exquisite feasts Chef Christofolo artistically creates, changing and adjusting constantly. From the Chef’s Wine Spectator magazine recognition to studies at La Scuola Internazionale di Cucina and Italian Culinary Academy in NYC York City to the extraordinary, experienced background culminating in Quiescence’s masterful offerings – there can be no question only superb comes out of his kitchen. From their remarkable wine offerings to incredible appetizers Chef’s spread and fire grilled Wild Oysters to the Chef’s Potato Gnocchi Bolognese, to the Wood Fired Grilled Salmon were superb in every way. Wow! Overall, my wife and I walked away ecstatic… amazed at the service, attention to detail, and the simply incredible perfection in preparation, presentation and tastes that we were able to experience. By far one of the most incredibly enjoyable culinary experiences we’ve embark on since becoming Phoenicians over ten years ago. Chef Christofolo and staff – congratulations and may you honor your guests forever with your artistic genius and love for the profession and the bounty of nature of which you present. We will be back. Grandi avventure… live long and prosper.
