Quince: Rivaling the Best Contemporary California Cuisine

This was our first visit to Quince since their move. Their new spacious dining room and modern kitchen (which can be viewed from the street) are gorgeous. The new Quince ... unstuffy modern elegance ...impeccable service ... delightfully layered flavors. And what a memorable evening!!! We started with the mushroom appetizer (wow!) and scallops with sea urchin (yumm!). We moved onto the gnocchi (so light!), then venison and duck (perfectly cooked!) and finally tasty desserts followed by petit fours presented on an elegantly thin slab of marble. With hundreds of wines and space for at least a thousand more, Quince seems poised to move up the culinary ladder. If they don't get back their one star this year from Michelin, I will be left wondering what Michelin really stands for!
