text: I was in the restaurant last Friday It was wonderful This is among the best places I have eaten in Phoenix I had the beef almost a stew It was very well prepared My cousin raved about the gnocchi My favorite thing about this place is the low key atmosphere The wait staff is low key attentive but not overbearing The house is charming and its a really comfortable place to sit and have a leisurely meal nnI would have given the restaurant five stars but I question how it can charge for a bottle of Arizona wine It was a pretty terrible bottle I would have sent it back but I wanted to give it a shot so ultimately it is my fault for not saying anything to the waiter Our second bottle was a lovely California Pinot Noir nnIf you have not been to Quiessence add it to the top of your list
