    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.

    Booked the reservation after reading reviews suggesting mixed experience, that's exactly what we got. Service seemed unintentional, beverages were top of the experience, food descriptions fell short when plates arrived. Had hoped to enjoy the patio on a rare cool summer evening, one-third of patio was chained off
