Quince will be relocated in San Francisco

Every now and then there is a recommendation to visit Quince in SF. From the newspaper article:

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl....DTL&type=food

Michael and Lindsay Tusk of Quince have set their sights on September as the month for the move to their new location, the former Myth (470 Pacific Ave.), followed several weeks later by the opening of the more casual Cotogna (490 Pacific Ave.). The Tusks envision a fairly quick turnaround, closing their current spot (1701 Octavia St.) shortly before the move.

Lindsay Tusk says the couple have not decided what to do with the Octavia Street space (they're the long-term lease-holders). Nor have they selected a chef for Cotogna. But they have chosen a new wine director for Quince and Cotogna. He's David Lynch, Italian wine authority and co-author of "Vino Italiano: The Regional Wines of Italy." Lynch was wine director at Babbo and John Dory, both in New York.

They have also adopted a prix fixe menu only. "over $100 many course menu and the $68 four course option. With the four course menu, you get choices in four categories - starter, pasta, main course and desert."

We had dinner there is Feb with Mr & Mrs StuDudley and it was an amazing restaurant. We had lots of different dishes, many unique and all excellent.

When we were there last, in March, it was $80 for the 5-course tasting and $120 for the 8-course (excluding wine pairings of course). There was no 4-course. And there were only 2 courses that had choices. Time for another visit!!!

i'm interested in seeing how this pans out.
part of the charm of quince besides the amazing food and service is the location and size of the restaurant.
the former site of myth is considerably larger in comparison.
how are the tusks going to manage to convey the warmth and intimacy that is currently at quince?
