This is one of my favorite restaurants in Hudson Yards. We took our family here to celebrated a nice weekend together and the food was wonderful. Both the duck and fish for two were unbelievable good and well prepared and presented. I recommend the octopus and beef tartare for appetizers and the dessert lemon curd and olive cake was very inventive. Service was good and ambience great. If you are just looking for a bar I also highly recommend. The bar and views from bar are stunning. Definitely a great date night or special occasion space

Very poor service, no one will check on you after they serve you. Lot of mess up in our order and no one is sorry about that including manger. Manger seems very busy doing nothing. If you need something keep looking here and there and no one will help you. Only good part is the host from Malaysia Nakila, she is super sweet. And the decor is good.

Food not great, service slow but ambiance is nice!!, The appetizers not good, the drinks were way overpriced. The steak mediocre. The worst part was the audacity of the hostess coming up to our table telling us they need the table as I was waiting for the waitress to come take my dessert order, waited 15 min for her come back and at that point I just wanted the check cause I was not going to give this place anymore of my money, it then took 10 min to bring the check btw. As we’re waiting on the waitress to bring the check the hostess comes up to us again telling us they need the table lol… seriously? She’s lucky we didn’t get up and walk right out at that point without paying. It’s a trendy place but not somewhere to have a good dinner and be taken care of. Good for a quick drink with a view.

Came here on an early Saturday evening just as the sun was setting (highly recommend for those amazing backdrop pics). The decor and ambiance is warm and inviting - 10/10.The entire service staff was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, which I so appreciate because I like to ask questions of the food and presentation so I know exactly what I’m getting.The food was delicious. Fresh, seasonal items and artistically plated. We all ordered something different so we could sample among ourselves and every palate was pleased. I especially loved how there were a few vegetarian options for myself. My only issue was the mushroom soup wasn’t very warm but we were all pleased with our apps and entrees and would certainly go back.Vegetarian options: Whole weather pasta with sweet potato, kale and mushroom, Japanese eggplant, mushroom soup, lemon pasta.

We stayed at the Equinox so this was the restaurant in the hotel. The brunch menu offered the tastier options. While the prices are on the high end(even for NYC) everything was delicious and the presentation excellent.
Located in the Equinox Hotel, this restaurant offers a sophisticated menu and an upbeat atmosphere. The duck was delicious, the little gem lettuce salad was great, and the chocolate cake was out of this world. The bar scene is fun too.

My experience with this place is awkward!We booked a table for 7 for my BD, and 2 extra friends wanted to join so I called the restaurant to add extra guests, the Lady over the phone was just a big B*** talking with an attitude, was like if you want to add people it's a minimum spend of $1200 I was ok to give me a sec ill call you back to confirm.. 15 min later I called again it was another B*** who was like the first one. And she was oh no it's a minimum spend of $1500 and you guys need to squeeze at the table.So what's this? An auction sale? Prices keep changing depending on whom we speak to!!The whole experience was just awful, they are bold enough to request guests to spend $1500 but in return, they can't provide a service that goes with the price.All of them have an attitude that feels like they feeding us for free.Guess what I canceled the reservation and went to spend my money somewhere else.Now they can sit deep down on the way they talk and treat customers! ????

Swanky restaurant serving tasty, creative food on the 24th floor of the Equinox Hotel. Space has large floor to ceiling windows and nice views, and a deck for the warmer weather months. Presentation of the food was beautiful and the food itself was high quality. Staff was attentive.Several vegetarian options. Ordered a cocktail, the fancy vegetable + dip app, the grilled onions side, and the truffle pasta. All was super tasty.
