Former President Barack Obama was recently spotted dining at Quince, a three-Michelin-starred restaurant in San Francisco’s Jackson Square. The venue—renowned for its elegant setting and culinary precision—belongs to Michael and Lindsay Tusk, whose reputation draws those seeking both exceptional quality and a refined dining experience.
Quince isn’t just about food; it’s about the experience. With its intimate, artfully designed dining rooms and focus on hospitality, the restaurant offers a sense of privacy and exclusivity that appeals to high-profile guests like Obama. It’s the kind of place where seasonal ingredients are elevated into works of art, and every detail—from the plating to the ambiance—is designed to create an unforgettable evening.
Though details of Obama’s exact order weren’t confirmed, Quince’s seasonal tasting menu typically features locally-sourced Northern Californian ingredients, from heirloom vegetables and fresh seafood to sophisticated meat entrees. The restaurant also occasionally offers specialty seasonal menus—like its “White Asparagus Menu”—which showcase produce at its peak.
