Lonely Planet review for Equinox
Adjectives struggle to describe the jaw-dropping views from this 70th-floor restaurant. Soaring ceilings, Asiatic wall hangings and plush fabrics are mere backdrops. The view rates a 10, the food a little less. Book early for a window seat.

SEMI-BUFFET LUNCH
g0dspeed recommends this,
Taking the express elevator that only goes to the 70th floor will surely made everyone's ears get blocked. However what awaits above is a beautiful view of Suntec Area which consists of Esplanade and Singapore Flyer, the construction of the marina bay IR, the heart of CBD, Raffles Place with boat quay situated beside it. The many highrise buildings towards the west. Yes, If you need a sky high view, this is probably the highest you can get.
Being a semi-buffet means that the food serve on the buffet are appetisers only such as cold dishes and sashimi and salmon. The restaurant's signature dish of Pan Fried Frois Gras is also served here.
The Sashimi spread here is good, you get Ark Shell Clam, Salmon, Tuna, Ika, Tako, Sea Bass. The handrolls came in 2 flavours, Ebi Prawn and Crabmeat with roe, There's also cold soba and buckwheat soba as well. The sushi is the one to look out for. As everytime the waiter takes out a new sushi plate, only 2 of which will be Ikura. And throughout the entire time there, my sister only got to the plate once. Still it's better than not getting at all.
The oysters serve here has 2 varieties, US oysters and coffin Bay. At first bite, I prefer US oyster but subsequent tasting coffin bay came tops. Sri Lankan Cold crab was serve here too as well as mussels. One appetizer to look out for would be the portobello mushroom. It is just excellent.
Desserts wise, creme brulee wins big time. Although they serve it in small bowls which is just not enough.
Overall the quality of the food here is very good, the ambience being a fine dining restaurant is quiet, pretty good for small talks and for romance. The scenary provided is awesome however do remember to try to ask for window seat when you make your reservation.
