   This was a very disappointing experience. We’ve eaten here several times in the past and had marvelous meals . Last night, however, the experience was disappointing because the service was so poor. We had signed up for the four course dinner starting at 7 o’clock our first course came in a decent amount of time, maybe 35 or 40 minutes. We waited over an hour for a second course. When we mention it to the server, and then the manager we were told there was a mixup. And that they would serve our next courses soon. We still waited another 20 minutes. Our main course wasn’t served until almost 10 o’clock. We didn’t leave the restaurant till almost 1030. While the food was exceptional, the experience was ruined by the poor service.

   This was our first visit here, and we were very excited to finally try it out. The cocktails we started with were delicious, and the wine list and pairings were excellent (loved to see our favorites from Rune and Tumbleweed on there). The food was also outstanding overall. I was especially impressed by the vegetarian options which are sometimes a little disappointing with tasting menus. I will say that similar to what others have mentioned, the service timing was a little off/slow. We did not receive our bread service for almost 2 hours, and a few times our wine pairings did not arrive with the courses. The menu suggested the meal would take 2-2.5 hours, but we were there for 4 hours. It’s such a lovely setting that I really did not mind too much. I would expect things to be a little smoother at this price point, but I would still go back and try again. The staff were all very friendly, and we enjoyed the tour of the kitchen quite a bit!

   Quiessence is an amazing restaurant - it’s our special occasion restaurant! The setting is serene and elegant with a beautiful yard. It’s a lovely evening - the pacing of the meal makes it wonderful for talking and relaxing between the courses. Lovely!!!

   We chose the 4 course menu. It took about 3 hours and we did not have alcohol so this seemed to drag on. We would have appreciated an option of timeliness. The food was well done, except the dessert which felt premade and not as fresh as hoped. The worst part was the server. He smelled of smoke, had horrible breath and touched the food with his fingers when describing what was on the plate. He also disappeared for over 40 minutes. It seemed he might have been on some medication. Overall a charming venue, but it needs some refining for sure.

   What an absolutely delightful evening spent celebrating my husband’s birthday. We chose the oven brick seating, but started inside due to the direct sun in that area. The ambiance was exceptional. Really cozy setting. The food was unbelievable. So many unique and tasty dishes!! When it got cooler we migrated outside and finished our dining experience under the stars. So beautiful and peaceful! What an absolutely amazing experience. Highly recommended and will return sooner than later

   We were absolutely blown away by both the service and the food! Our waiter was incredible—he even gave us a behind-the-scenes tour, including the kitchen, which was not only spotless but full of passionate staff excited to share their craft. The farm-to-table concept was executed perfectly, and everything we tasted was exceptional. Yes, it's on the pricier side, but the experience is truly unforgettable and 100% worth it. Can't recommend it enough!

   This was an outstanding dining experience. The wait staff were fully engaged and helped provide us with many memorable moments, including an impromptu tour of the kitchen and meeting all the chefs. Each dish is artfully presented. I would highly recommend this restaurant, which also took care of my food allergies with unique recommendations. The Head chef is celiac.
