Quiessence at The Farm

Zagat says, "Set in a historic home with a warm country feel," this "romantic" South Phoenix "gem" matches its "magical location." An American menu based on "local, sustainable, handcrafted" ingredients, a "deep" wine list, "impeccable service" and a "calming" ambiance. "Arizona’s Original Farm-To-Table Dining Experience” Dining at Quiessence is unlike any other experience in Arizona. As you walk up to the original farmhouse on the property, you see the lush and vibrant Soil & Seed Garden, where the freshest ingredients for your evening’s dishes have been sourced. Chef Dustin Christofolo determines each element planted in the garden to perfect his refined, rustic menus that adjust with each harvest. The flavors of the Arizona terroir shine through each dish with the unique layering of flavors and exceptional uses of the local ingredients. Along with the Quiessence hospitable nature of service, we offer an A la Carte, Seasonal Tasting Menu and our signature Brick Oven experience during the week. On weekends, diners can choose from our 4-course, 5-course, or 6-course Chef's Seasonal Tasting Menus. Quiessence also offers private dining and event spaces for a memorable Arizona evening.
