Quince RestaurantA Culinary ExperienceMy family and I dined at Quince to celebrate two very special occasions. The service was outstanding, the presentation of the food and entire experience was amazing yet never did it feel pretentious. All of our food - lobster appetizer, seasonal spring vegetable soup and entrees (walleye, lamb, steak, pork) were so delicious and beautifully served, as well. Absolutely the best of the North Shore!5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMReunion of a sortLovely dinner with son and daughter-in-law (whose late arrival from St Louis was treated patiently and graciously by waitstaff) and friend last seen 43 years ago. Food was delicious to taste, glorious to behold and delightful to hear about from the deliverer. Quince never fails to be the best place to eat in an area that is replete with tempting restaurants.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMSpecial OccasionThe food was terrific but unfortunately the quality of service didn't keep pace. Definitely worth another try especially if our server was having a bad night.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMgreat place for quiet celebrationprice are a bit high but the celebration was a success.

Each of the five courses was fantastic, the service was impeccable and the price was a great deal. Quince was perfect for an elegant and romantic night out. I highly recommend it.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMI took my parents there thisI took my parents there this weekend and they thought it was great. The Spanish Prawn appetizer was very cool and the Foie Gras was delicious! The only reason why I'm giving four stars for the food is that my Ravioli dish was extremely salty, it would have been good without the excessive saltiness. Other than that everything was great!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMWe come to Quince often, andWe come to Quince often, and the food is always excellent, the service very good to excellent. My pork entrée (seared tenderloin, with caamelized onions and leeks) was perfect, and desserts - particularly ice creams and sorbets and quite good, too. It's usually a quiet and subdued place, but this past Saturday a large and obnoxious group was the only sour note; wish the staff had had the stones to suggest they were not alone in a fine-dining place.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMWe almost cancelled our resevationWe almost cancelled our resevation after reading a description in Chicago Magazine which implies that Quince is a duck restaurant. Management assured us that this was not true. The food was excellect, well prepared and displayed and the menu had a dish for all. Shame on Chicago Magazine........4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMnice atmospherefood was ok, but nothing spectacular. Great ambiance.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfection. The food, thePerfection.
