Housed in a historic brick and timber building (in what was the Myth space), Quince is a beautiful restaurant with an elegant, luxurious feel. It’s warm and inviting, too, and the 12-seat bar/lounge area is so comfortable and welcoming, it could be mistaken for a neighborhood hangout—that is, if your zip code was 90210.

Chef Michael Tusk serves California-influenced Italian cuisine, inspired by the finest in local ingredients. The a la carte and five-course Chef’s Tasting Menus change daily, ensuring your dishes feature the freshest seasonal offerings sourced from a network of Northern California purveyors. Pastas are pure perfection as are the flawless fish dishes. Important to note: all menus are available in the bar/lounge area.

Created by David Lynch, the 800-bottle wine list emphasizes Italian varietals but features an impressive California collection as well.

Look for Quince’s more casual sibling, Cotogna, to open next door.
