"Tucked away at the Farm at South Mountain, Quiessence was a pioneer of farm-to-table dining long before it became a trend. Weekly tasting menus crafted by chef Dustin Christofolo feature produce from the on-site garden and locally sourced meats. The seven-course Brick Oven Table experience, available by reservation, offers rustic-yet-refined dishes like handmade pasta, artisan bread, and desserts that spotlight fruit grown on the property. The serene setting, surrounded by gardens and shaded pathways, creates an intimate atmosphere ideal for romantic occasions. A thoughtful drinks menu complements the food, with cocktails and wines showcasing Arizona’s best alongside global selections." - Mcconnell Quinn
