Dining room at Quince, Evanston, ILThe prevailing belief at this Evanston establishment---located in a space that once housed Trio---is food can be fine, even fabulous, without costing an arm and a leg. Executive chef Andy Motto (ex-Old Town Brasserie) delivers on that in an elegant-but-approachable golden dining room. The overall look is tranquil but rustic with a marble fireplace; the food is a sight to behold. Should it be available (the menu changes regularly), we recommend the Thai inspired pork with sticky rice, English pea tortellini and salmon with roe, farro and pearl onions set in a light-yet-complex broth. At meal’s end, the profiteroles are worth indulging in. As for the wine, get ready to be wowed. The cost-conscious, worldly selection is loaded with good finds.
