Quiessence at The Farm, one of three award-winning and beloved restaurants at The Farm at South Mountain, features menus inspired by local, seasonal, and organic foods. Located in an historic 1920’s farmhouse, Quiessence offers a fine dining experience with magnificent food, superb service, and a unique rustic ambiance.

Chef Dustin Christofolo takes the farm-to-table dining experience to a new level with mouth-watering dishes such as “Asparagus and Lardo Semi Salad featuring Herb Crumbs, Hen Egg, Preserved Lemon Emulsion and Citrus Caviar” and “Braised Vineyard Road Lamb with Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Cipollini Onion Gastrique.” Chef Dustin and his team only have to walk out the door to source the fresh produce from Maya’s organic gardens, or down the street to source Vineyard Road lamb. The opportunity to connect with neighborhood growers and farmers drive the garden to table menu creations while honoring the local, seasonal, and fresh concept.

The chef driven menu includes house made breads and charcuterie, an artisan cheese board featuring local cheese and seasonal pestos & jams, and delectable handcrafted pastas. Soups, salads, and entreés change seasonally – sometimes daily or weekly – to take advantage of the garden’s bounty. Chef Dustin has also created a world-class wine program to complement the menu. The American and Arizona wine lists are accompanied by an international reserve list designed to pair with the cuisine. Chef Dustin and his team prioritize all Arizona Regional Products, including our Arizona Wine Country.
