Delicious brunch with a build from scratch omelette bar. So it's possible to eat very healthy here. Some good menu items, too, including the Crab Benedict. But really, you can't go wrong at Eques. read more

We tried to get breakfast here but the hostess told us there was a 50 minute wait when there were empty tables. We felt like they just decided we were not the "people" they want to serve. read more

Delicious!!!! I've stayed at Hyatt for thanksgiving last week and this brunch was the highlight of our stay. I mean the suite on the 24th floor was not too shabby either. But rolling down to breakfast here was great too. It's also one of the rare places I've dined in lately! Been here when they first opened a few years back for brunch. I remember mimosa bar and Bloody Mary bar. But that was about it. It was a huge event that I came for and I didn't care for the buffet.And returning was hard too since they only serve breakfast. But hotel stay was the best way to dine in. I skipped the buffet and went straight for their menu! And I'm so glad! Duck duck waffle! Crispy duck & waffle! It's like chicken and waffle but better. So delicious, I can use a second plate. Dungeness crab Benedict: good! Crab cake Benedict. Tiramisu pancakes! I got a short stack and I so regret it. Should've got a full stack. That sauce isn't waistline friendly but it was AHMAZING!!! I could have ate the whole full stack. Yumm yumm! I came the day after thanksgiving and they were slammed! Super busy, super packed. Our waitress was super nice and friendly too. Coffee and water took a while since they were very busy. But I'd definitely dine in again for duck & waffle or those tiramisu pancakes! Full stack this time. read more

Sorry about late review of a egg shell filled eggs benedict breakfast. My over calcified fingers just got to typing it today after wiping the split butter from the hollandaise sauce. I ordered the benedict and my partner did too...stupid stupid me..! Like I said hollandaise was split a little bit...I let that slide (split butter helped the cause...!) I cut into egg and alas!! it was over medium to well done with firm golden yolk. I called the waitress who CHECKED with chef and maybe looked at my foreign brown skin and told me "yes we serve eggs over medium for a benedict...did you want it otherwise?" I was stunned after knowing that the whole world and all my life I was lied to by other good places that served me good poached easy eggs that flowed on to my benedict. But the chef and waiter were confident that is how they are done. I continued to eat with my shattered beliefs and then came another shattering experience. Egg shells with poached eggs. Thankfully the waiter/chef conceded that is not in the recipe and got us another poached egg with just a tiny shell instead of the crunchy big one. In case you like this dish please go for this brunch and order off the menu. This is Eques after all...they probably must be doing everything right and us poor people dint know what food is like until we ate in this shiny swanky place. read more

Came here to celebrate a very special birthday on a Tuesday evening! The restaurant was almost empty and the ambiance was so nice. We sat by the window and had a beautiful view over the sunset in Seattle. The chef was so nice about dietary restrictions and even swapped out pasta for rice for a main course of seared scallops. For someone who is not a fan of salads, I found the salad quite palatable! The lotus and beet were such unique flavors. Note, this is their winter menu and they will be transitioning to a spring menu soon, which will have more non dairy options. read more

A friend and I wanted to catch up over some weekend brunch and a quick search led us to Eques. I actually didn't even know this place was inside a hotel but it's in the Hyatt on the second floor directly above Suite. I made a reservation on their website which was very smooth and we were seated right away even though it was packed. Guests have the option to eat their breakfast buffet but by the time we got there it was mostly scraps and the pieces that people skip over so we just stuck with the regular brunch. I ordered the crab benedict ($20) which was pretty dang solid! The base of the benedict was not your typical thick biscuit but it was a thinner biscuit with a bed of crab which was so unique. The pepper jam turned the entire thing 180 degrees though and that was mindblowing to me. Everything tasted heavy but the jam on top just brightened the entire thing up. I do wish that the side was maybe a side of breakfast potatoes rather than a tomato and avocado salad but they are just watching out for my health I guess... Overall I thought the dish was good but it was a little on the pricey side for brunch. At the end of the meal we were each given a coupon for 15% off our next meal so I might have to come back for their crab benedict again. read more

I don't know how or why I've never left a review despite having come here for years...the buffet is definitely a good option, especially if you factor in how much regular entrees are. And I think it's worth it if you are interested in lots of things. That being said, I've done the buffet a few times and prefer the entrees only because I don't particularly like a lot of the options but I will say the omelette bar and waffle options are good (but really, the best part is the potatoes)! Imagine, soft, perfectly seasoned potatoes. Literally, my favorite thing. My other favorite used to be the specialty pancakes, if you love sweet and decadent, this is the place! Service is usually super good but today really solidified it for me. Went for brunch and ordered off the menu..we waited for awhile and our order never went through but our friends had opted for buffet so they were eating. When the server realized it the mishap, he quickly tried to check in with the kitchen but they had closed, so we went to the buffet. He told us he would comp it. Then he brought our whole table mimosas because he felt bad...and ended up comping the whole table! read more

I have been to this restaurant in Bellevue few times now, and I must say, it's an absolute treat. The main reason I go to this restaurant is for their tiramisu pancakes, and they never disappoint. These pancakes are simply to die for. They are fluffy, perfectly cooked, and topped with a rich tiramisu flavor that's both decadent and delightful. Every bite feels like a little slice of heaven. Service is really good and so is the ambience! If you're ever in Bellevue and craving something sweet for breakfast, I highly recommend stopping by for the tiramisu pancakes. They are worth every penny and will have you coming back for more!l read more

The Duck, Duck, Waffle is one of the most interesting and unique brunch dishes I've had in a long time. You've heard of chicken and waffles I'm guessing. The Duck, Duck, Waffle is a play on that dish with the fried chicken replaced by a confit of duck leg as well as a poached duck egg. To top it all off, you have candied almonds, a whisky syrup, and some greens. I found myself enjoying then Duck, Duck, Waffle even though I don't particularly enjoy duck and usually would rather have an egg benny than chicken and waffles. The duck meat was tender, the waffle was fluffy, and I don't remember the whiskey in the syrup being very noticeable - a plus in my book. A note on the service - our waiter offered to give us free drinks on the go (coffee/tea/OJ) and one of my friends took them on that which I thought was pretty neat. I tried a little of my friend's chorizo hash, and it tasted pretty good too. I guess I'll need to decide between that and the crab benedict when I come back. read more

Came here when looking for a brunch place with my friends. Probably should've registered more that it was still a hotel buffet kind of brunch. We did do the buffet option-- maybe it would've been better to not do the buffet? The buffet was good, fine?, had a reasonable selection. I liked that they had a honeycomb, and some tasty cheese and smoked salmon. I liked that they had an omelet station, still kind of generic buffet taste wise. We did order a tiramisu three pancake stack. It was smaller than I thought, but I enjoyed the coffee/chocolate flavored pancakes! read more

We ate breakfast here. Arrived right at 6:30am. The staff were friendly and attentive. The buffet was $35 which I thought was a little pricey. I ordered the build your own omelet. It was fluffy and very hot. Very nice. The hubs got the corned beef hash. The meat was a bit tough and really dry. I wouldn't recommend ordering that item. Overall the experience was fair. Fairly spendy...but it is Bellevue after all. We won't be back. read more

Despite the raving reviews my friend heard about this place, we ended up not being super impressed by the food or the service. My friend and I came here on a Sunday morning, it wasn't too busy and we ordered off the menu. The buffet was an option, but most of the food was what you would have in a classic breakfast- pancakes, eggs, bacon, and omelettes so we opted for the menu. I got the corned beef hash and she got the golden waffles. Both of us thought our food was lukewarm when it came out, so that made us sad. We also asked for creamer three times before we actually got it, so by the time it came around our coffee was cold. Corned beef hash- it was okay. Not bad! It wasn't too salty, but not too flavorful either. There was also a lot of oil left at the bottom. Potatoes were okay, I wished they were more seasoned. My eggs were done over medium even though I wanted them over easy. The food presentation was also just ok as well. Service- slow. It took a while for our coffees to be refilled and our food to come out. Parking- free parking on the weekends! Overall, it's an ok place. read more

Eques - Duck Duck Waffle - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I was looking for a place downtown to have brunch and this place popped up in my yelp search. My search criteria was mimosa btw, I prioritize the importance things. I was able to get a table for one and seated as soon as I arrived even though it was peak brunch hour on a Sunday. The restaurant is in the Hyatt and pretty standard hotel-restaurant-like. The ambiance was a bit basic b but there was a promise of mimosas in my future so I was willing to overlook this lack of character. The server was great about helping to point me in the right direction for gluten free options and there were indeed several. Obviously first thing I ordered was a mimosa mostly because I'd just worked out so I had to replenish the calories stat. The server rocked my world by telling me they not only had gluten free bread, but also a dedicated toaster..so I responded with- bring me all of that millennial gf avocado toast. And so she did. The poached eggs and micro greens were awesome and the chicken sausage made life happy. It came out pretty quickly which put a damper on some very interesting people watching I was engaged in since I was chowing solo..what else is there to do aside from look at cat photos on my phone. I was able to get in and out quickly, had a pretty nom gf brunch, and I needn't remind you all that they had mimosas. As you can see, its a solid enough place to grab a bite. read more

Had the Breakfast BLAT, Crab Benedict, Eggs Benedict, Duck Duck Waffle, and Tiramisu Pancakes. The Breakfast BLAT and Tiramisu Pancakes were pretty decent. Crab Benedict was excellent, but the Eggs Benedict and Duck Duck Waffle was subpar. Definitely on the pricier side considering the portion you get, but if you with kids under 5 when the buffet is open, they can eat for free. read more

It's been 12 years and countless brunches. My family and I still love this place. How could you not, they specialize in breakfast

Had an early Easter brunch with my sons this past Sunday. Usually they are better with service and food. However, they openly admit to customers that they are understaffed. Once they did prepare the food, it was tasty. Hopefully they can address their staffing issues as food items kept running out and not being refilled quickly. My family usually goes there for special occasions so I am likely to return and I do hope they address their shortage in cook staff . read more

Disappointing and not at all what I expected compared to the previous reviews and photos shared. Props to the sous chef cranking out made to order omelettes and to the hostess for her friendliness. Eques offered cold pancakes and runny scrambled eggs. The muffin was dry. The cost of brunch at $30 includes an omelette and a waffle, juice and coffee. I ordered a swiss and mushroom omelette with sour cream which was pretty good. The waffles they offered were all sugar city: ice cream cone (????), pina colada and others. My friend got the pina colada waffle, which was supposed to be a Belgian waffle but it was half of one, overcooked. She said it was all right. I ordered a glass of milk and pineapple juice. The milk never materialized, even asking another server who walked by for it. The waitress had to be asked multiple times for the cream for my friend's coffee and to bring her a refill. We were done eating for 20 minutes before she wandered by again and asked how we were and I could ask for the check. The feel is very much a hotel lobby.

I've never had the buffet here because their entrees are too enticing. I've had their tiramisu pancakes which is just dripping in good sweet flavor and really indulgent. And I recently tried their duck duck waffle, which had the crisp waffle, runny yolk, savory meat, and sweet maple syrup. It was a great choice if you're feeling savory. read more

Been a while since I've been here for breakfast, but their healthy selection and accommodating service is worth recommending. Menu is a bit limited and the dishes tend to be on the simple side like my egg white apple sausage omelet had spinach and tomatoes, but the flavors were muted maybe because the coffee - can't believe the espresso machine is out again. Tip You can park underground in the hotel and they will validate. read more

Eques is apart of the Hyatt Regency, but they're nothing like your mundane hotel breakfast! The menu is extensive. Some of my favorites are the duck confit and waffle. This pairing is so necessary! Another is the salmon plank Benedict. Super filling and the hollandaise sauce is absolutely delicious. The people that work there is always professional and nice. This place is genuinely a gem inside the Hyatt Regency! read more

I took my family and my in-laws for Easter brunch. It's a special event so I had to make the reservation in advance. It took about a week or longer to get a reply/ confirmation email. Let's talk about the foods. There were quite a variety of foods. To our surprise, there's a carving station serving prime rib! I like the rib but my picky husband said the taste was just okay. It even had the decorative seafood stand with ice bunny! Their rack of lambs were tasty. My favorite is the strawberry white chocolate pancakes! It literally melts in my mouth and not too sweet. Since the restaurant is inside of Hyatt hotel, the ambiance is nice. Our waitress was very attentive (wish I remember her name to give her credit). There's a mistake in the bill where 20% service fee was charged twice but our waitress resolved the problem swiftly and she was very apologetic. It was not her fault at all. Will we go there again? Heck yes! I'd love to try their regular breakfast menu. read more

Located on the 2nd floor of the hotel, this is a little hidden gem with a beautiful interior. I met a friend for brunch here while I was in town, and they were wonderful about catering to the adults as well as the 1 year old. Fast, friendly, and attentive service from the whole team from immediate seating with our reservation to drinks, food, and checks. Amazingly delicious bellinis! What a treat! I had the full American breakfast with poached eggs just how I wanted them, and my friend had the Eggs Benedict with a side fruit plate for her son. An excellent brunch, at a restaurant I'd gladly dine in again! read more

Eh it's alright. Weird that they close at 12 on Saturdays, I feel like most brunch goes until 2 at least. I had tiramisu pancakes and they didn't really taste like tiramisu, just something sweet. The side of bacon was $6 and I got 3 pieces... they also have a buffet option for $29 and it was a glorified continental imo. Parking in this spot is a nightmare, especially if you're unfamiliar with the area. I don't think I'd come back. Our server was great and kind. read more

The tiramisu pancakes were amazing! Must try them indeed. The corned beef hash is not what I expected but in a good way! It was way above my expectations. The corned beef was big chunks of flavorful meat. Multiple kinds of potatoes. The eggs were perfectly cooked to my request. The buffet, though we didn't order it, had a great selection of items. There was an omelette station where you can have a chef prepare something to your liking. It gets super busy so sometimes there may be a wait thus the non perfect score. Make sure to make reservations and don't be late or you'll miss your spot. I'll definitely be back to try other items. read more

While I was walking towards another restaurant I just noticed Eques. I had no idea it existed and decided to try it the next day. The ambience is fantastic!!! Very cozy and classy. And there are lots of food choices which makes me super happy. PROS There is a choice of menu or buffet Eggs Benedict is delicious Build your own omelette Comfortable seats Nice atmosphere CONS It is open just for a few hours in the morning Expensive Small serving (which is perfect for me) but I know lots of people like fuller plates UPDATE: I came back here by myself while my husband was running some errands in Bellevue and the customer service was not as good as the first time. The lack of interest of the server surprised me a lot since the first time I came the waitress was super nice and came to check on us a few time. But not this last time. He never came back to see is everything was ok and if I needed more coffee. Nothing. I did not complain because I was in such a good mood and did not want to mess with my day... I will come back here for sure and I will make sure I don't get the save server as I did the last time. read more

I came here for brunch with some coworkers and had a pretty good experience. It's an annual tradition for my team to visit this place (but it was my first time ever), and they keep coming back every year (for the past six years), so from that alone I think shows that they enjoy this place. The food was pretty tasty (I got the Cedar Plank Salmon Benedict), and they prepare it differently than other eggs Benedict, but I liked it! The salmon tasted pretty fresh, and their hollandaise sauce was on point. Instead of hash browns or potatoes though, they give you a side of tomato and cucumber salad (sometimes I just want potatoes with my eggs Benedict!). read more

Food was mediocre. Service was extremely subpar. We were sat and waited 10+ minutes for have our server greet us. After 10+ more minutes I spoke with the host about getting our order taken. Food took 30+ minutes to come out, we were not checked on once by our server during our meal. The gentleman who brought out our food was the friendliest and most helpful. Turns out he was the manager. After waiting 20 minutes for our check, I went to the host station to request our bill and asked to speak with the manager. He ended up taking 20% off of our bill, hence the two stars instead of one. It takes a lot for me to ask for a manager, let a lone leave a poor review, but this establishment is definitely not worth the price tag. I served in fine dining for 10+ years, they were not excessively busy or short staffed to allow such poor service. read more

I was hosting brunch for people who were staying in downtown Bellevue so Equus worked well logistically. I had never been there so I did my normal online reconnaissance to check out the menu and reviews. Seemed appropriate so I booked reservations. It wasn't needed when we ate but if a restaurant offers reservations I typically book it. We were seated immediately. Next to the window - nice. The service was fantastic!! Our server was very attentive without being on top of us. I hate that I have forgotten her name. We decided to order off the menu instead of head to the buffet. I'm not a big fan of breakfast buffets. I feel like I am always disappointed. The food was very good. Our orders arrived in a timely manner. There was a mistake with one order and it was taken care of right away. Mistakes happen. We felt comfortable enough to sit for well over an hour to talk. There were no "walk bys" or anything that encouraged us to move along. The restaurant wasn't full so we didn't feel that we were holding other diners up. In fact our server encouraged us to stay as long as we wanted. Nothing but good things to say about Equus. I don't eat in downtown Bellevue very often but I will definitely be back to Equus the next time I'm looking for breakfast downtown. read more

Best breakfast in my life. We had the french toast and eggs benedict. They looked and tasted like classic french toast and eggs benedict. But it was perfect. It was like sushi from a sushi master, but for french toast and eggs benedict, if you know what I'm saying. Perfect. read more

Located inside the Hyatt Regency in Bellevue. This was a solid brunch place! We ordered the french toast ($15) and corned beef hash (19$). We couldn't forget the mimosas of course! They had a few different flavors including orange, pineapple and grapefruit. The mimosas were delicious, perfect balance of juice and champagne. The food satisfied all brunch cravings! The french toast was large in portion, the bread so fluffy and the maple syrup was the perfect compliment! The corned beef hash was tasty with the over-easy eggs cooked perfectly! What really made this Eques stand out was the excellent service. The servers were always attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, a wonderful experience and amazing location close to all the shopping malls! read more

We have been wanting to try this place for sometime now, finally made it last Saturday. They have a really good spread for brunch, including scrambled eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausages, potatoes, grits, cured meats and cheeses, fruits, a variety of breads and bagels, etc. The best part of the buffet was the made to order omelets and waffles. Ask your server for the waffle options, they had 3 on the day we went, we had the maple and bacon waffle and loved it. I got a bacon, ham and cheese omelet, it was the highlight of the brunch. Loved this place, we are going to be back soon. read more
