Quince.

Set in the historic Jackson Square neighborhood, Quince represents the apex of Northern California’s farm-to-table philosophy. Chef Michael Tusk’s menu is inextricably linked to Fresh Run Farm, the restaurant’s dedicated agricultural partner in coastal Marin, resulting in hyper-seasonal plates that shift almost daily. The kitchen masterfully blends Italian techniques with French finesse, often highlighting hand-rolled pastas and hearth-cooked meats. After a significant renovation, the space now feels refreshed, balancing exposed brick and Venetian chandeliers with a more accessible bar and lounge area. While the atmosphere is undeniably formal, the service remains warm and intuitive. The wine program is equally ambitious, offering an extensive global cellar that mirrors the precision of the food.
