I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere was lovely, and the food was absolutely amazing—every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The service was attentive and friendly, and they even took us on a tour of the kitchen, which was such a nice touch!
It’s definitely a great spot for celebrating a special occasion. The experience is unique and memorable, though it does come with a high price tag. While I’m not sure I’d go back regularly for that cost, it’s absolutely worth visiting at least once for the experience.

My boyfriend & I were visiting and we had the pleasure of doing the Chefs table experience. We sat in the kitchen with chef Dustin Christofolo and had the chef tasting menu which varies weekly. Everything was farm to table and the presentation of each dish was impeccable. You may not know what you’re getting but you’re guaranteed a 5-star experience with over 80% of the food grown from their farm and the rest sourced locally. Incredible experience from the Quiessence team!

Kitchen was quite slow, service was substandard and not very knowledgeable.
Food was definitely solid, but all in all was not worth the asking price, there are better restaurants in the valley in this price range.

Lovely location - we truly are impressed with the food and service as well as the ambiance.

The ambiance is significantly better outside then in. Inside really needs an upgrade, especially the back room. We got the four course meal, two drinks and a couple of small add ons. Total with tip was $420. We thought that was too much for what we got. While the food was very good, it wasn't outstanding. Paired with the ambiance of the inside (or lack thereof) we weren't wowed this time. All of the staff really pushed the five course meal. I'm glad we didn't get it because we really don't think it would have been worth it, considering the four courses wasn't worth the price.

If you are planning to come here for dinner, make sure you cancel before or will be charged a $50 cancellation fee…despite becoming sick from covid and calling over 10+ times to try and get a refund, we never did. We have dined here before and are disappointed as we live out of state.

My partner and I have never experienced a multi course dining experience before last night. It was a celebration for her graduation and I wanted it to be special. However, it was underwhelming and disappointing.
We arrived 10 minutes early, as one always should. The hostesses let us know that we were too early and they were doing their pre shift meeting but because it was hot she would “make an exception” and seat us anyway.
There were multiple fly’s buzzing around the table the entire evening. I understand this is on a farm, but that is not acceptable. Due to the type of experience this is supposed to be, everything should be outstanding.
During the dining experience, the staff seemed unenthusiastic and drab. Merely regurgitating the explanations of the dishes. When we asked questions about the dishes we were told by the server that he’s a simple meat and potatoes kind of guy so really could not give much advice on what to choose.
We needed refills on our water and tea’s and sat for 10+ minutes a few times to get that done. At one point we had asked 2 separate wait staff during a roughly 15 minute window for refills, to no avail. The 2nd lady, who was a busser, actually rolled her eyes when I mentioned I needed a refill and that I already asked someone else who never came back. She also never came back and we had to wait for the server to finally get those. I assume the server was too busy since he had at least 4 other tables other than ours. 4+ tables is a lot for a regular restaurant server to handle and give great service, much less one that proclaims exceptional service and an unparalleled experience.
The busser that seemed dissatisfied with us also would clear dishes from other tables and leave ours.
The overall experience was subpar at best. A multi course fine dining experience should be flawless. I understand that sometimes there are small hiccups, however, for the cost of the dinner and what the website describes the evening experience to be, we should have been blown away. This definitely was an unforgettable experience.
The ambiance, atmosphere, service and intimacy of the establishment were amazing. The food however was not up to par. The soup was bland, the pork was extremely fatty. The pairing of foods did not mesh well. The serving sizes were very minimal. The cost of the meal did not match the food we were provided with

This was the ultimate dining experience! A group of six best girlfriends enjoyed the experience at Quiessence and we had the most amazing dishes. The presentation of the dishes was spectacular as was the flavor of every bite. Definitely I will be back again!!

Presentation and food quality — just average and extremely overpriced. We left the restaurant hungry; as the portions for each course were very small. The restaurant charged us for a Cosmo drink; and no one ordered drinks. The staff was generally indignant; and it took a while for the restaurant to eliminate the charge. Would not return. neil — dinner June 6-2025.

Food was fabulous. Served was great. Took a tour of the kitchen and staff were wonderful. My favorite part was the atmosphere, quiet and relaxing. No rush at all. Just a nice night.
