  • Our third time to Quiessence and first since a change in Executive Chefs. This place has always had a fairly high standard for cuisine and presentation and we were pleasantly surprised the quality has not wavered. That being said, bear in mind Quiessence is quite pricey, particularly when you opt for the Chef's tasting menu and pair wine with your meal. But we knew that going in and if you're in for the whole culinary experience, you won't be disappointed. Renèe, our server, greeted us and thoroughly explained the menu options. We opted for the tasting menu and wine pairing for the evening. The couses were as follows: 1. Charcuterie board - a delicious spread of tasty nougats including figs, beautifully prepared beets, duck liver pâté, pickled watermelon rind and a half dozen other delicious items. 2. Her: Maya's Foraged Garden - an excellent plate of fresh veggies from, well, Maya's garden. Me: Foie Gras - Wow. 3. Pistachio soup - Quite tasty, I especially liked how the sweetness of the pistachio and tart goat cheese blended with a sweet/savory combo. However, it could have been the lighting but the color of the soup could have been more appetizing. 4. Crispy Potato Gnocchi - I'm a lover of Gnocchi, period. But how many ways can you make it? Well, we learned about one more. This dish was terrific. 5. Main Course - Her: Dayboat Diver Scallops - Very well prepared and perfectly cooked. Me: Aged NY Strip - tasty and perfectly cooked to Medium Rare with very nice squash & baby bok choy. Dessert - Sweet Polenta cake with persimmons and the house bread pudding. Both well made, but we were stuffed by then. Should have had it first. The only area in which I think the restaurant could improve would be their wine list and pairings. None of the wine pairings really blew us away. They were all good, just not great. However, they definitely have the cuisine down, so the wine pairing should be remedied with a little tinkering. All in all, a great dining experience. We'll go back, again.
