"I attended an event at Three MICHELIN-Star Quince in San Francisco where Chef Michael Tusk welcomed leading Bay Area architects, designers, developers and chefs—including Chef Val M. Cantú and Carolyn Cantú of Californios and Chefs Serena Chow Fisher and David Fisher of 7 Adams. Held on August 12–13 as a product showcase paired with a chef-driven culinary experience, the gathering allowed guests to explore Gaggenau’s new Expressive Series—whose visual designs are inspired by Bauhaus principles and minimalist modern architecture—while enjoying Bauhaus-inspired bites prepared by Quince." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Another fine dining standout, Quince helped close out the list at No. 48." - Dianne de Guzman
"A three-Michelin-starred San Francisco restaurant mentioned as a benchmark and influence on emerging chefs' technique and standards." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Cozied up in historic Jackson Square, Quince is a fine-dining special occasion restaurant, from the caviar openers to the macaron mignardises. The space recently underwent a massive renovation and chef Michael Tusk rolled out two tiers of tasting menus to give diners more flexibility. The restaurant also has a Green Star designation.

"To mark its 20th anniversary, Chef Michael and Lindsay Tusk have given their restaurant a luxe refresh that has reinvigorated the early 1900's Jackson Square setting.The commitment to seasonality and locality is striking, with much of the produce sourced from their partner farm. Dinner here celebrates the season with an array of elegant presentations. A small bowlful of gently cooked first-of-the-season peas are served in a silky broth brimming with flavor from guanciale and Tomales Bay clam. Pasta has always been a highlight here, and the agnolotti filled with white asparagus is no exception. Local lamb cooked in the fireplace is arranged with a springtime melange of fava beans, green garlic, and edible blossoms, and accompanied by freshly baked bread tinted by vegetable ash." - Michelin Inspector
