Equinox Cafe & Bar

We have been to the restaurants several times in the past years and always have been excited about the menu. This time it was really not great and too expensive. And the ravioli dish was pre-manufactured. We didn't expect this . Also if you order wine by the glass they don't show you the bottle you see if it is really the wine you selected.Unfortunately the air condition also was not working what they should have told us when checking in

We had dinner at this restaurant recently. The rooftop restaurant has fabulous views, particularly of the Sandia Mountains. On this hot summer day, we had an inside table by the windows. As the weather cooled near sunset, they opened the glass walls for a fabulous sunset. Equally good, was the creative foods on the menu and no problems sharing plates. The service was impeccable. A memorable night out for my wife's birthday.

Honestly, the menu was quite a surprise. This place has mostly been known as a cocktail spot but the food rivaled many of the top tier restaurants in ABQ. Very impressed.

Very fancy, very expensive, extremely good food, service was top notch, ambience was perfect. Overall a very luxurious experience.

Excellent Brunch with amazing views. Wine List has some great wine options. Looking forward to our next Sunday Brunch at Level 5 Restaurant.

Everything was absolutely amazing! Beautiful view of the mountains, wonderful food and excellent service. Highly recommend.

Really great spot for outdoor dining, however we were seated along the edge so couldn't see anything unless we stood.

The food was outstanding but not enough staff, waited one hour for out meals and they came out room temp. Comped us on our appetizer but at $125+ for two without drinks or dessert, not really enough. Setting is beautiful and worth the annoyance.

The food was really good. Both the ribeye with enchiladas and the seabass with peppers and mushroom were worth the visit. The view was pretty and the service was attentive. The host was polite and thankful. Also the sage margarita was really good.

Cannot see sunset as the restaurant is on the East side of the building. So I am not sure why the maitre'd was quick to point out what time the sun set. Nice view of the mountains though. My wife ordered a French martini, it took the server 20 minutes to get back to us and said the bartender Googled it but did not have all the ingredients, Grey Goose , Chambord and pineapple juice. The trout was good, but was looking forward to a simple meat/steak, not every one needs it with enchiladas or lobster. No options. Our salad came out before my wife received an alternative martini. Server asked about desert while we were in the middle of the main course. Cleared the table quickly and asked to bring the check. We felt very rushed. Other than the view, no reason to return.

The foie gras snow appetizer was wonderful. The salad was simple and perfect. For entrees we had sea bass and filet. Each were unique and expertly cooked. Cocktails were very good and we had a nice Shiraz. Wonderful food, great service Chef Sean came out and visited with many tables. Great experience!

Excellent service. We sat out on the rooftop patio on an unusually cool and beautiful evening. The wine by the glass selection was great. The focaccia bread was delicious but unfortunately the Bell Pepper Sofrito was very bland and disappointing. We split the $110 Ribeye & Red Chile Cheese Enchiladas. The enchiladas, pintos & tortilla were amazing and the Ribeye was cooked perfectly with great flavor but was very tough. For dessert we had the pistachio tres leches cake which was delicious with a perfectly crafted Espresso Martini. Overall great & fun experience.

We had a reservation at 6:30 but they couldn't accommodate us so we had to sit at the community table....poor management of tables and disappointing. The waiter was very good but you could tell she was rushed. The food was meh. For the price it's not that special. Average. We shared the Sea Bass and it was partially undercooked and a bit “rubbery”. The potato appetizer was just okay but again not special. This is the third meh visit and I don't think we'll be coming back. It's a value issue...if you're going to pay that kind of money the meal should be special and perfectly done.

Main courses very expensive though everyone thought meal was acceptable. Plating not exceptional nor expertise of staff. Desserts are better. Adequate. Location and view wonderful. A great place for photos.

The food was great, and view was amazing. We were not very excited about the service. Took over 30 minutes to see our server after she dropped off our drinks to be able to order our food.
