Equinox Cafe & Bar

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.

The view was great! The food, not so much. Service very spotty---very attentive at first and then our server disappeared. The prices are SO EXPENSIVE and the food not great. Have a drink here and then go across the street to Sawmill for a delicious burger!

I wanted so badly to like this place. We ordered cocktails and appetizers first. The cocktails were amazing. We ordered the foie gras which was good but it was served with only a literal shaving of bread so it felt like we were just eating forks full of butter straight. We also ordered the tomato bruschetta. The toppings were really great, but the bread was soggy. For my entree, I ordered the surf and turf. The potatoes were gross. Overcooked and unsalted. I tried dipping them in the sauce to give them some flavor, but the sauce was also unsalted and close to flavorless. The relleno was unsalted, soggy, and greasy. The steak was honestly amazing which is why I didn't just send my plate back. We ordered the pistachio tres leches cake for dessert with coffee. The coffee was served lukewarm and the cake was dry and not properly saturated with the milk. The frosting was very good though. This meal was just not worth the nearly $400 we paid for it.

The Sea Bass was cooked to perfection and was a lovely pairing with the quinoa and veggies. My husband had the duck and he mentioned it was the best he ever had. Of course the view and ambiance were amazing from the rooftop but the service was not great. My husband and friend had to wait an unusually long time to order another cocktail so they went to the bar to place a separate order. That shouldn't happen with fine dining. Another friend and I shared a bottle of wine which meant we didn't have to wait to serve ourselves, however in other fine dining establishments - the wine is usually poured for you.

I hate to write this review because I really want to love this place. We went there when it first opened and it was awesome, if not a little pricey. Today, the prices are eyewateringly high. A steak and enchilada dish will run you a cool $110 (!). A fried quail? $35. Do you know how big a quail is? That's $130/pound! Tamales will set you back over $20. What are they, wrapped in golden husks? So enough about the prices (and if I wanted to pay $6 for a minuscule serving of popcorn, I'd go to the movies). Let's talk about the service. We had reservations for our 20th anniversary. The hostess was so frazzled she didn't greet us. We were seated without menus. We finally got some, but for such a classy joint, the booklets had seen better days. The server didn't come to the table for 15 minutes. She took our order for drinks and appies, and then disappeared for 30 minutes. When she emerged from wherever empty handed she wanted to take our entree order and we had to remind her we hadn't gotten our drinks or starters yet. She disappeared for another 10 minutes. When she returned with our first course and cocktails, I asked her how she liked the trout and she said she hadn't tried it, but steered us towards the sea bass and the $110 steak/enchilada plate. We said we'd think about it. She never returned to our table, so my spouse and I looked up somewhere else to eat (I was still hungry after the minuscule melon/prosciutto appie and the subpar burrata salad we both shared). She tracked our server down and paid her, and then tipped her well (why, I do not know). Long review short: don't go here.

I'm really thrilled at the service my friend and I received on my birthday. I have a capsaicin allergy and the chef and staff made absolutely sure my meal wouldn't contain anything that would trigger an allergic reaction. The food was incredible and I had a great time!

Food was just okay and incredibly overpriced. Menu is trying too hard to be fancy. Sat outside and it was so windy our food was blowing off our plates and a slay on the metal roof kept banging around

View was beautiful and outside dining patio is great. Menu was very consolidated. The only steak option was ridiculously over priced and I didn't appreciate my steak being served wet. Juicy and wet are two completely different things and I unfortunately got the latter of the two. Just about everything was extremely salty as well. The drinks were mediocre at best. 17$ for a Paloma made with sour mix is unacceptable at the level of dining that this restaurant is advertised and sold as.
