What People Are Saying About Equinox

In Short – Set back from the street, Equinox's front yard is one of the largest patios in town. The bright jewel tones that grace its walls and outdoor umbrellas create an atmosphere perfect for casual, laid-back dining. The full bar provides an attractive option for post-work imbibing. Entrees include grilled flatiron steak edged with a zesty habanero-chili rub, paired with a creamy sweet potato mash. There are seasonal specials listed on the ever-changing blackboard near the entrance.

Unimpressed
by normanpaperman at Citysearch
I'm surprised at the lack of taste in their risotto. I agree with the last reviewer, as it was very mushy, almost an oatmeal like feel and way too fishy (and I love salmon risotto). The ambience is nice and the drinks are good, but for food...I was unimpressed
- Pros: Cocktails were great, appetizers okay
- Cons: Food was so, so; Risotto was flavorless

Such a Letdown
by Blublood412 at Citysearch
I'm not quite sure why Equinox is so well reviewed. My wife and I went based on reviews and many of you are so far off (though I notice a lot of complaints are about the seating) so maybe terrible food isn't noticed by the run-of-the-mill diner.
My wife had the salmon risotto which was salty beyond belief and overcooked into mush. I had the Equinox burger which was served sans caramelized onions and the peppered bacon I requested (don't know how hard reading an order ticket is). Also, not quite sure why the restaurant can't seem to provide ice in the water.
Beyond the horrible cooking, I lost count of how many flies there were flying over the seating, landing on my table and my clothes and buzzing around our plates.
Basically, the restaurant is disgusting and the food is well below sub-par. Equinox will never see me again nor will I recommend it to anyone I know.

Great breakfasts
by LongHairOfDeath at Citysearch
Always, consistently a great breakfast. Best in the neighborhood. Gravy can be good, but spotty. Equinox is mellower, has a more varied menu. The staff are super friendly. Nice area outside to sit
- Pros: Great food, reasonable prices, great atmosphere
