Why this room is hard

Three stars. A monthly drop.

Quince holds three Michelin stars in a single historic brick room in Jackson Square, where Michael Tusk has cooked since the restaurant moved here in 2009. The book opens on the first of each month for the month ahead, and the tasting seats are gone almost as fast as they post. The dining room is small, the menu is a prepaid commitment, and a missed table carries a fee, so the house guards every seat. Demand for a three star room this size always outruns the calendar.

It is not a reservation system. It is a guest list. We hold standing relationships with rooms like this one, and we know exactly when the monthly release lands and how fast it moves. We watch the cancellations the public never sees and we put your name where the house already recognizes it.

Three stars. Monthly drop. We catch the cancellations.
The three rules

How we work this room.

Three commitments that apply to every Quince request, every night the kitchen is open. No fine print, no surcharges, no surprises at the door.
I

Your card is authorized when you submit the request. We charge it only when we confirm your table. No confirmation, no charge. Ever.

Authorize, do not capture

III

One posted price.

$675 for non-members. $225 for members. One number, every night, every party size. No auctions, no surge, no Friday markup. Whatever the room is doing, the price does not move.

No auctions. No surge.
What to expect

Five steps, start to seated.

01

You ask.

Tell us the night, the time window, the party size. Two minutes on this page. Card on file, not charged.

02

We confirm the request.

An operator reviews the request, checks the room, and sends a confirmation that we are working it. Usually within thirty minutes.

03

We work the room.

We reach the floor manager directly, by phone or by text, depending on the night. We do not refresh Resy. We make a call.

04

You are confirmed.

We charge the card and send your confirmation — the time and the name to give the host.

05

You eat.

Walk into Quince, give your name at the host stand, sit down. The room takes it from there. We do not see you again until the next request.
