Not the Equinox of old… I have long known Todd and Ellen and was never less than 100% satisfied in the prior incarnation of Equinox… Unfortunately, it is the same in name only. The restaurant has little to no charm and indifferent staff. The hanger steak (known universally as “the butcher’s cut” was tough and uninspired. The eggplant “lasagna” was good but, again, not up to the standards of old. The whole experience reminded me of the sequel to a movie… Never as good as the original.

First meal out I can remember in a very long time where nothing seemed rushed despite it being a 7:30 reservation. Ample time given and courteous service throughout. Our host Didier went to great lengths in making sure the order was what we wanted, indulged us and offered additional options and recommendations. It surpassed the already high expectations I was hoping for. We will be back!

Service on Easter was delayed as the plates struggled to reach the tables from the kitchen. Long periods of waiting in between plates. No time to re requested plates for dishes that were liked.

It's always a pleasure to dine at Equinox. I love how they have creative plant-based options throughout the menu, including the delicious two entrees we thoroughly enjoyed. I would definitely recommend the Maitake Teriyaki and Mushroom Wellington.

The service here is EXCEPTIONAL. Very kind, attentive and pleasant staff. The food was really good (plant based brunch). I really enjoyed the pancakes and the beet salad...they steal the show every time. Not crazy about the new heart of palm cake (too much dill and not enough crab flavor or seasoning). Other than that, I enjoyed every thing that was on the prix fixe menu and the ambiance was nice. Will definitely be back!

The plant based tasting menu was superb, probably the best vegan food I’ve had. Serving size was adequate and the service was excellent. With a single cocktail each, for a party of 3 with a mandatory 20% service add on, the bill was close to $400.
