Quince – The North Private Dining Room

About the Space

With not one, not two, but *three* Michelin stars, this Jackson Square winner is where you go to impress. Fun fact: It’s only the sixth Bay Area restaurant to receive that stellar honor. The menu and presentation of Italian-meets-California-contemporary cuisine from James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Tusk, with seasonal ingredients sourced from local Fresh Run Farm, is straight-up exceptional. The setting, too, is just right: 1907 historic landmark building, exposed brick, chandeliers, white tablecloths. Bonus: it’s also a damn good Scrabble word.
