   The tables were not set at all in a festive way like the website was promoting. It was like being in a diner with table clothes. Service was zero. The waiter did not even propose something to drink but only showed up once, with the check, including a 20% gratuity, for doing nothing. Never again.

   we decided to try the equinox for a change. The atmosphere was very nice however for the price we paid vs the quality of the food it was disappointing. One of my dishes was burnt and several other dishes were so so. We paid over $400 for 4 of us to eat. I would not go again!

   The mandatory 20 percent gratuity would probably stop me from coming back for any of their holiday buffets. Considering your largely serving yourself, the wait staff should be hovering over your table however we only saw ours three times, once when we sat to get beverages, once to clear plates between courses, and when the bill was presented. Water glasses were left emptied and had to be asked to refill, plates were left on the table for extended times and fresh silverware wasn’t offered. This doesn’t deserve that gratuity and there was no option to change it.

   Our waitress was short with us and snappy. It was Easter and busy but I was surprised how rude she was. I felt like I was being scolded. Food was good and the savory buffet was a great addition.

   We had a lovely dinner at The Chophouse. The service was wonderful despite the fact that they had a full house due to the early spring winter storm. Everything in town was shut down and we were expecting things to be challenging for a restaurant in a hotel where people were pretty much stranded for the evening - but it was a lovely evening and the restaurant handled everything so well. Eating there is an experience, so I would not go if you don’t have at least an hour to an hour and a half for a fine dining experience. I hope I am able to visit again someday. The food and service were outstanding. Highly recommend the chicken roulade and the sea bass!

   We are lucky and blessed to live, work, & play in Manchester, VT The Equinox Hotel, is a classic, historical, magical building, with the most dedicated and professional employees! From The Head Chef Joseph, his assistant Chris, our waitress, Oneilia , Carmen, & Jack. They made s feel at home, while serving an outstanding dinner. Can't wait for our next visit.

   It saddens me to have to write this review. Dinner at The Chop House was probably the WORST Service and experience we have ever had. This is too bad because when we finally (!!) received our entrees, they were actually very good -- food was excellent. But the entire thing was overpriced and the Service (especially for those prices!) was just abysmal -- in EVERY way. Even though the dinners were good, because we had to wait so long, and were so ignored, it colored the entire experience and you just felt like -- well, just let me eat something for dinner, so I can get out of here and go to bed. You shouldn't feel that way when you're paying top dollar for a dinner out. We suspect mostly the management was just pretty awful . Yes, it was the long February weekend, but I'm sorry -- a restaurant in a large "resort hotel" in Vermont should know how to anticipate that and plan for it. No excuses. Given what you're charging customers and guests for rooms, and for meals, HIRE more people, hire GOOD people, good management and pay them appropriate wages in order to retain them. No excuse. A real shame.

    Terrible service, sat there for two hours, saw the waiter once, never saw the food. Our salads were delivered and then nothing for over an hour. Left without getting entrees. Very disappointing.
