Horrible experience poor service poor food .. staff no attentive.. poor excuse for a place like this.. don't waste your money.. would not recommend to anyone
The lavish setting is wonderful but the food doesn't meet up to the expectations of the surroundings. The duck lacked tall softness and octopus was average.
Beautiful view, the restaurant itself doesn't look very great, clearly not part of the original building. Food was ok but prices were high so not really good value.
Great food & Cocktails. Nice atmosphere.
The food here is awful and the prices are ridiculous. But the restaurant is beautiful and the view is lovely. It's a castle, imported piece by piece from Europe. I've brought people here over the years because of the setting. Even when you expect the food to be bad, it's surprising every time to discover again how bad it really is. The chef needs to take cooking classes. Come to Equus for a drink--not for a meal-- on a beautiful day and enjoy the lovely gardens, the lawn's chess board with chess pieces 4-feet high, the flowers and trees. If you have a meal here, you will feel ripped off and hungry.
What an amazing place. My wife and I went here for our anniversary. The food was outstanding. The staff was amazing. And the atmosphere was unique. I have dined in a castle before. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good quiet meal. Gents make sure to wear a jacket and sorry no kids for dinner. Great place for couples. This is a must go if you are in town.
Having dined at equus several times over the past few years and truly loved it,
was very disappointed today.
The portions were smaller, the price higher and food not as good.
I had tilefish and it was barely medicore
will not be going back
Unique and romantic dining experience - lovely dining rooms in an old castle/hotel in Tarrytown, on a hill with views of the Hudson. Food is good to very good, though the decor and location are the real selling point. Definitely worth a visit.
While there are many 2011 and 2012 reviews out there decrying the service and the "unevenness" of the food, our experience was the complete opposite. The four of us experienced perfect service, spectacular food, a great wine list and an incredible view. While the pricing on Zagat feels a little low, this was a great special event place we would highly recommend. Expect to spend about $100 - $125 per person with a drink and three courses.
