More information on Equinox

Everyone seems to love Equinox. It's not splashy in any way -- just a pretty, comfortable restaurant serving creatively delicious American food. Even if you aren't vegetarian, you'll eat all your vegetables here, because as much care is taken with these garnishes as with the entree itself. And every entree comes with a garnish or two, like the leek fondue or the forest mushrooms with applewood bacon, or the white bean ragout. You can order additional side dishes; consider the macaroni and cheese: Vermont cheddar, Parmesan, and black truffle reduction. The home runs, of course, are the entrees. You order a la carte for lunch, but choose one of three tasting menus for dinner: $55 for three courses, $70 for four courses, and $85 for six courses. Standouts have included crab cakes made with lump crab mixed with capers, brioche bread crumbs, mayonnaise, and lemon-butter sauce; barbequed wild King salmon with black bean puree; and braised shanks and roasted loin of lamb. The menu identifies dishes made from animals raised in accordance with Humane Farm Animal Care guidelines. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
