I recently went to Quince restaurant on a weeknight. It was rather a spur of the moment and I didn't make a reservation. It was a little past eight so luckily we were able to get a table for two. The restaurant itself is relatively small with about 30 tables. When we got there, it was already packed with a mature crowd. The atmosphere in the restaurant was elegant and modern, it's like a modern wine and dine restaurant. We ordered the wine before dine...haha it rhythms. =P Okay back to wine.....the restaurant had a wine menu that had a wide range of selection. We actually ordered the Merlot before our meal as it was recommended by the server. However, the wine wasn't exactly what we asked for. The wine was a bit too dry for our taste and didn't have the rich wine texture/taste to it.
The menu has a lot of exotic entree selection, ranging from rabbit meat to quail. I decided to go with the quail entree and it was definitely a surprise. The quail was de-boned, perfect for lazy people like me. The meat was marinated and juicy. The sauce is light and flavorful. I really liked it. We also had steak and frites. The steak was average but they did prepared it like what I asked for (medium rare)
As for dessert, we had a chocolate molten cake with vanilla ice-cream. Two words, simply delicious. The cake was rich and flavorful, yet not too sweet for our taste. The cake was warm while the ice-cream mixed with it was a very good fusion/combination.
Overall, this restaurant is above average and cost wise, its relatively affordable. A dinner for two with wine and dessert is approximately $100. For it's price/food quality/atmosphere it is worth trying, definitely a go back restaurant. Recommend it for casual dinning and/or special occasions.
