Quiessence is a fine dining, true farm to table restaurant located at The Farm at South Mountain, a 10 acre oasis by South Mountain.

Patio dining is also highly sought after when the weather is nice.

This place came highly recommended by my Italian friend, and Tutti Santi did not disappoint. Our server was great and attentive. The staff was great and helpful. The seafood pasta was extra ordinary, the ravioli was downright amazing. Tutti has an extensive wine list and the ambiance was perfect. Overall great hidden treasure.

Avanti is always a wonderful dining experience, but their wine dinners take it to the next level. All courses were excellent, and the wines well complimented each dish. And as always, the service was welcoming, friendly and attentive. Can't wait for the next wine dinner in February!

Always a pleasure on the tavern side of this iconic restaurant and chef. I love the wine shopping from the wall with no corkage fee for table or at the bar.. Very lively Saturday night, with a nice, diverse crowd. Noise levels contained a little stretch on the service, but they also didn’t rush us at all from a table. All four dishes, outstanding., needless to say so was the wine , and best charcuterie appetizer plate I’ve seen in Phoenix so far!

Simply outstanding. The chefs 7 course menu was just a blast of flavor and surprise. Every plate was unique in its way and definitely overdelivered. The wine pairing was very exciting as well. Every glass was in harmony with every plate paired and the Sommelier/staff were very knowledgeable of each wine served. They have a very extended list for those who would like to explore specific bottles. Recommended for every occasion.
