At Quince Eatery, each bite felt like a deliberate orchestration of flavors that play out magnificently on your taste buds. Starting with the pepper-crusted steak, it was a masterpiece of meat craft—cooked impeccably medium rare, its salty crust juxtaposed with the juicy, tender interior was enough to make anyone swoon. The real kicker, though, was the gravy boat of sauce that accompanied it, a bold, brilliantly seasoned concoction that pulled no punches on the palate.
Moving on to the grain mustard-infused baba ganoush; this dish was another triumph. It brought a delightful twist with its smoky undertones meeting the sharp bite of mustard, each mouthful layered with complex flavors. It's rare to see such an inspired pairing, but here it felt completely at home, nestled among sprigs of green and sprinkled grains that added a satisfying crunch.
But the revelation of the meal was the simplest—a small pot of what was described as a roasted red pepper and tomato sauce. Silky, with a deep, almost smoldering pepper flavor brightened by acidic tomato, it was a reminder of how sometimes simplicity wins. This sauce had the ability to elevate anything it touched, and frankly, I could have happily enjoyed it straight with a spoon.
Despite the high expectations set by the stellar courses, the service matched the quality of the food—attentive but unobtrusive, knowledgeable without being overbearing. Even the setting of the restaurant contributed to the night's success, with its subtle lighting and comfortable seating creating an inviting atmosphere.
Definitely a place you'd rush back to, eager for the next culinary delight they've dreamt up.
