output: the staff was nice, food tasted good, but it was pretty expensive. i got a scallop ceviche which was 4 tiny little limes with some seasoning on each lime and then a bay scallop ontop of it and that was $12, and then i got some soup with chinese sausage in it that i didn't even it noticed it had sausage as it was just mush with not much flavor. the soup itself was good, just wish i could have noticed it had the sausage. drinks are small, margarita was like $12ish and was maybe 4 ounces. the food tasted pretty good, but way too pricey for how small the portions are. i probably won't be back

output: I had an amazing dinner tonight at Quiessence. When we made the reservation they asked if we were celebrating anything; we were, so when we sat down we were given 3 glasses of complimentary champagne. We started with a plate of three delicious cheeses. They have a huge selection of cheeses, probably about 20, and we chose a goat, a smoked gouda and a jack. All delicious and served with crostini, perfectly melt-in-your-mouth bartlett pears, pecans, honey and quince paste. Great start. Our next course we shared two salads - an octopus carpaccio and field green salad. Both good. My main course was AMAZING. It was heritage turkey with mashed potatoes and carrots. I ate every bite. SO flavorful. My dad had a beef sirloin that was perfectly cooked and delicious with a side of fingerling potatoes. My mom got swordfish. It was not cooked properly when it first came out, but they promptly corrected the problem, so i can't fault them for that. The ambience was great including a live but not distracting singer and a warm crackling fireplace. In addition, I want to give big props to the servers for knowing everything about the food they served. She knew where the fish was caught, how the beef was raised, what certifications the turkey farm had achieved. It is great to be able to get those kind of answers with zero attitude when you ask the question. My only reservations would be 1) definitely is "slow" food, maybe a tad too slow but so delicious it was worth it and they said they were short staffed and 2) i'm not sure i buy that their seafood is sustainable. They served atlantic cod and atlantic swordfish. My understanding is that both of these fish stocks are pretty severely depleted. I asked and was told that the fisherman they buy from are committed to sustainable methods, but I'm not sure (personally, for me, at least) that it is possible to sustainably fish a stock that is in danger. All in all though, a fantastic night and i can't wait to return!

Good effort decorating, reminds me of an old dingy Chili's restaurant. It was super dark during the day. What I did like was that they have a complimentary salsa/chip bar during lunch, they have really good enchiladas but do not get the chile relleno, the salad was bland and the tortilla soup was old. My bf ordered a chimi and although it wasn't greasy and gross the options for meat were gross, we're talking chicken, ground beef (?) and machaca. If you are looking for authentic Mexican, definitely don't recommend it, but if u r looking to drink and have some appetizers than definitely.
