| - After becoming lazy and not making a reservation in Tremont as my wife and I planned, we found we could not get in anyplace out there so I yelped Olmsted Falls restaurants and Quince popped up. I would have never known it was there and it was tucked away behind the main road. The dining room was very tiny, perhaps 15 tables and 50 people tops on a busy night, but that is a great part of the ambiance. We were seated immediately and ordered cocktails, which were rushed out. We got an appetizer- the proscuitto and wild mushroom pizza, which was incredible- unlike any other flatbread I have had. We did feel a little rushed, as the waitress was very friendly, but kept coming back to take our dinner order, so finally we relented and felt guilty and ordered. FYI... if you want bread, you have to ask. Same with salad or soup, as they don't offer it to you with your dinner as is customary, even if it is a la carte.
Dinner consisted of Pad Thai for my wife, which consisted of chicken, shrimp, scallops and mushrooms on top of rice noodles with a mild peanut sauce. Not spicy at all, but tasty nonetheless. I chose the bacon wrapped meat loaf, which came with "onion rings", "cheddar tater tots" and "BBQ". The actual meat loaf was small, but thick and was very tender. The bacon was a nice touch and the BBQ was just a few drizzles of some type of Bar-B-Que sauce, which was tasty. I had no problem with the meat. The problem lied with the sides, which were such a small part that I can't really hold it against them, but teh onion rings were literally a circular raw onion with bread crumbs... like an onion ring looks like BEFORE You cook it... I almost wanted to ask if it was supposed to be cooked. Horrible and I love onions. The tator tots were exactly like you got back in grade school, only larger. There were 2 each onion rings and tater tots and the mention of cheddar tater tots was a mirage, because there wasn't even a hint of cheese.
The dessert menu sounded ok, and we tried the banana cheesecake and the chocolate cake, both of which were ehhh. Looked and sounded a lot better than they tasted.
Overall a very nice dinner that was very close to home. I will try them again and try a different menu item to see if it is simply another decent restaurant (at a little higher price than typical) or a cut above.
