Quince Lakehouse was the perfect escape! The waterfront views during sunset set such a dreamy atmosphere, and the coastal decor tied everything together beautifully. It truly felt like a mini getaway. The Rock Shrimp Tempura was absolutely delicious—crispy and flavorful—and paired perfectly with my Black Forest cocktail (Mezcal, Pineapple, Cucumber, Rosemary-Charcoal). The house DJ kept the vibe alive with great music, and the staff was so lovely and attentive, ensuring we had an incredible experience. Can’t wait to return for another unforgettable evening!

This was our first night here. The ambiance was such a cool factor once entering. We had a table for 2 and as the host is seating us she places us all the way in the back in a corner. We asked if we could sit somewhere on a booth end she was very upset having to move us. Idk how it was an issue if it was not in a busy state. It could have been handled differently but at the end of the day we focused on the positive and enjoyed our evening. As for the food, omg delicious!! 10 out of 10. Highly recommend and will be back!

Each course was beautifully prepared and tasted like perfection. Chef Endo and Vincent used different techniques to highlight the fish. We appreciated it all and couldn’t pick a favorite so it was nice when we were given opportunity to add repeats at the end of the meal along with some specialty items. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful meal, Chef!
