    Let me begin with, I have a degree in hospitality restaurant management. Walking in, the hostess was polite and found our reservation immediately. It was so noisy. There was a guitarist whose music was so loud I couldn’t even have a yelling conversation with my husband. The table we were sat at abutted some kind of riser situation and I was about a foot away from the table and couldn’t adjust the table or the seat. There were straw wrappers all over the floor and the table was not sufficiently wiped down. The server was kind and came right away. She took our order and it took forever to get our meal. Mine was delicious, my husband order a medium well burger, it came out as a cheeseburger. We sent it back snd in about 3 minutes a new burger came out… after waiting about 30 minutes for the original. It was rare. Disappointed. BTW, the menu on line is not the same as what the menu is when you get there. About half the on line items are available. My pasta was good but it had a less than amount of chicken. The flavor was great, however. Beware! For some reason I can’t add photos which show the trash on the floor and the rare burger. I always start with a mid range grade and go from there. The food was good/great, but this is what I EXPECT from a restaurant.

    I made a reservation on Open Table and it was confirmed. When we got to restaurant- they said it was for the next day. So we got a “leftover “ seat. Not the high top in the window like I had reserved. Took them forever to get our drink order. The meal I ordered was a beef stew with puff pastry on top. Waiter brought out a bowl of stew and stale bread. He told me the chef didn’t have time to make the pastry!! That was the Main reason I ordered it!! So I paid $19 for plain stew and stale bread. Our new waitress tried her best, and was very kind.

    I made a reservation for five people for Saturday at 8:30pm and when we arrived we were told they were no longer serving dinner. We drove over from O'Fallon and I had family from out of town with me. We passed hundreds of restaurants to get to Quintessential because we were in the mood for something unique. I won't make that mistake again.

    Menu has changed and was very limited . French dip was not good. But spinach dip was very good. Used to go there for a nice glass of wine and good meal. Wine list was also very limited .

    Made a reservation for 8:30pm on their website. It was listed as a drop down option time. We walked in sat down, there was four of us, and a girl working came up to us and said “sorry our kitchen closes at 8:30, we can’t serve you food anymore”. So we got no dinner and ended up leaving. How are they going to list 8;30 as a reservation online if the kitchen closes then?!!

    Food and service were great, music was terrible. Trying to eat a nice meal with a band that shouldn’t be playing before 9pm. People were walking in and turning around because it wasn’t welcoming at all.

    We didn't stay they had a buffet for Mother's Day and it didn't say that on the open table. The buffet was from 11-3 and my reservations were for 3 o’clock so they were closing when we got there and the buffet looked trash.

    It wasn’t as busy as expected, but I think it gets busier much later. Had the French Dip and it was delicious. In the past we have enjoyed eating on the roof but this time we ate inside because of the weather.

    We had a visitor in town and shared some wine and appetizers. All were tasty! It was fairly quiet that evening as many people are staying home, perhaps due to the recommendation for social distancing.
