"A Three MICHELIN Star and Green Star restaurant in San Francisco, led by Michael Tusk, known for its fine dining experience that highlights California's unique talents and vision." - Michael He
"For the ultimate, three-Michelin-starred holiday dining experience, gourmands can shell out for Quince’s $335 per person Christmas Eve tasting menu ($295 optional wine pairing). Cannelloni of Tsar Nicoulai Caviar with celeriac, beetroot, and horseradish, and Christmas rib of Wagyu beef with short rib red wine “crèpe”, wild mushroom and salsify “frites” are just a few of the dishes on the menu. Reservations start at 5 p.m." - Ellen Fort
"There aren’t too many restaurateurs as well-known as Michael Tusk, nor restaurants as well-loved as his Quince in Jackson Square. He and his wife Lindsay Tusk reopened the 20-year-old restaurant, brightening the dining room and rolling out a blockbuster 10-course $360 tasting menu. Get a taste of what made Tusk land a Best Chef: Pacific award in 2011 at his other outpost Cotogna." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Quince, a three-Michelin-starred restaurant, has hosted Bar Agricole pop-ups with veteran bartender Craig Lane mixing drinks showcasing Bar Agricole’s single-origin spirits." - Lauren Saria
"Bar Agricole, the James Beard award-winning cocktail bar, will be mixing cocktails and pouring spirits inside Quince, the three-Michelin-starred fine dining destination from owners Michael and Lindsay Tusk. The bar’s residency will run about two or three months, according to a spokesperson, while Bar Agricole owner Thad Vogler works on relocating the bar from its former SoMa location to its future home in the Mission. Chef Michael Tusk will also roll out a tweaked a la carte menu to pair with the Bar Agricole cocktails. The restaurant, which reopened after an extended closure and renovation in late 2023, introduced a limited a la carte menu in the Salon (the restaurant’s bar space). Now, they’re holding some of the Salon tables for walk-in diners, so even if you haven’t planned ahead, you can stop in for a plate of spaghetti with yuzu vodka and caviar and a Hawaiian cocktail made with Lemorton Reserve Calvados, lime, pineapple, and Chartreuse." - Lauren Saria
