I love it, I love it!
Quince is very cozy and romantic. The food and service is spectacular making it easily one of my favorite restaurants in the Chicago area and definitely worth a drive to the suburbs.
For starters I had the soup of the evening which was a wild mushroom soup. Heavy on the mushroom flavor which I loved. Also, great with the bread rolls that came out with the appetizers. The pierogies with goat cheese, pine nuts, romanesco and olives. were small but packed with a lot of flavor.
As my main course, I had the barramundi which was DELICIOUS. I was debating between the barramundi or scallops but I'm sure either/or would have been outstanding.
Speaking of outstanding, the desserts are to die for. I highly recommend the peanut butter semifreddo. It's just a really good idea. I devoured the entire plate with a little bit of help from my date. The cinnamon bavarian had a nice presentation with the chocolate orbit and was very good as well. But back to the peanut butter semifreddo!
Oh, and the drinks! I really wanted to try the Cider House but they were all out of cider so instead, the waiter recommended the Quince Martini which was VERY good. And this is coming from an anti-martini girl.
I would love to come back and sample some of their other dishes and desserts!
