   Made a reservation at 7 and got sat at 8! Missed the sunset and threw our night off schedule. Yes, we got free apps but sometimes that’s not the point.

   Great food and ambiance. I put in the notes it was my husbands birthday but they did not acknowledge. Other than that it was fantastic!

   service was very good, food wasn’t up to par. it was ok but not that good. They have pictures online of food presentation and what is served isn’t the same at all.

   What a lovely spot to getaway for a great meal! The lakeside spot is stunning. We could have sat there for hours. The interior is also stunning. Parking is plentiful.

   Quince is a pretty place with a pretty view, but feel like one of those places that’s goal is to turn as many tables as they can in a short period of time. We ordered appetizers & drinks and the server took our main course order at the same time. They ended up bringing out my husbands main course before anything else, the server took it back to the kitchen but when it came out again we could tell it was the same dish & just had been kept under the warmer. It was a very pricey, very mediocre meal Unfortunately

   We have visited Quince three time in the past and this was intended to be nice relaxed evening with decent food. We had noted, in the past, that this was a surprisingly nice restaurant with good food, nice ambiance, attentive and well dressed staff and reasonable prices. We were surprised that the restaurant seems to have degraded in a number of ways but maintained some aspects we like. The bad: 1. The restaurant was dominated by large tables of very noisy guests. 2. Service was very slow and not very attentive. Table was left with used utensils for some time and the food took a long time to come. We had to summon a waiter to get attention to order desserts refill water, order wine etc. 3. Our fresh oysters were ruined by the addition of herbs and spices directly on the oysters and not as a side dish which would be normal. My wife commented that the taste of the oysters was ruined. 4. Staff dress codes seems to have deteriorated. In the past they have been relaxed but tidy and neat. Staff seemed dressed down in a mixture of baggy jeans and rumpled tea shirts. 5. This is quite an expensive restaurant costing $250 including tip for two people. I think the $$ rating is a little optimistic. We did not order a bottle of wine but had it by the glass as my wife only like as single glass of wine with her meal. The good: 1. The wait staff were pleasant and respectful even if slow to respond. 2. My Chilean sea bass was excellent, if over priced. My wife's seared ahi tuna salad was a little overwhelmed by the large amount of Kale, but was well prepared. 3. Dessert (blackberry cobbler) was excellent with light pastry and excellent fruit content. 4. Good selection of wines. 5. Good location although we had booked well in advance we did not get a prime location on the outside floor (we were sat next to the DJ). Overall a slightly disappointing evening from a restaurant we had liked and recommended in the past. I would only recommend now with some reservations.

   Overall service was amazing and we had the most serene view! Everyone was so kind and made the experience lovely. Angelina provided the best service and we felt very well taken care of. The atmosphere was calm initially then became electric. I had a great time and will definitely be back soon. Thank you!

   Food was good. There was a DJ when we were there and it was a little too loud for me personally. All around good vibes tho!
