Well, we went to Equus last night and have to say I was most impressed.
First of all, the service was top rate. Not only attentive, but knowledgeable. Suggestions were made, but never by being pushy, and server was professional but down to earth.
Now, the food. We had a fantastic Nantucket Scallop appetizer followed by the Mushroom Fume which was terrific.
For main courses, my wife had braised lamb with a pasta that she described as making her wonder why we do not eat lamb more often. I had a tender Duck breast that was served on a very tasty cole-slawish creation.
They also surprised my wife with an excellent dessert to cap the night off.
Also, I was actually surprised that the meal was not as expensive as I envisioned. We tipped very generously due to great service, but still walked out paying less than I had thought.
Anyhow, as we dine out seldomly alone together, I was very impressed by the experience and will definitely put it on list of return places. Only bad part of evening was our schedule was compressed, so never able to check out Jack's Lounge.
