I started with Diver Scallops, which were very fresh and paired well with an avocado-yuzu puree. I was disappointed that instead of purple sticky rice, jasmine rice was used. My friend had the escargot, which was completely overwhelmed by the goat cheese. Then I had the Alaskan Halibut, which was okay but nothing special, the mussels and kale that accompanied it were quite tasty however. My friend's filet mignon was cooked rare and very fresh. The waitress suggested a Vouvray to complement my dinner, and the wine was also alright but short of spectacular. For dessert, I had the lemon cheesecake and key lime pie in berry coulis. Tasty but the two desserts were a bit too similar that they almost tasted identical. Overall, a bit disappointing.
For fine dining in Evanston, Quince is a better choice.
Pros: Interesting dishes
Cons: Not so well executed
