This is a solid brunch spot! I've been here twice now and each time have had a hard time deciding if I want the buffet or to order off the menu! There are so many good options! The buffet has standard run-of-the-mill breakfast items like eggs, pancakes, bacon, pastries, waffles, and an omelette bar. These are pretty much the standards at a hotel. The first time I was here I had the buffet. Most recently I ordered off the menu. Both times I had the bloody Mary bar option. The most tempting item in the brunch buffet this time was the guava pancakes. This was a unique item in the lineup and was the one thing that almost made me choose the buffet option again. My friend ordered the eggs in toast, with avocado and a side frisee salad. I had the crab benedict with small fingerling-type potatoes. My crab benedict was everything I had hoped for and more. I came in there hungry and left fully satisfied. My recommendation is to skip the tempting buffet, where you will fill yourself up with typical breakfast fare, and go for the menu options! read more

Had the smoked salmon egg white omelet. Was very good. Only hesitation is the price. Everything in the Seattle area is becoming more and more expensive but even considering that it is pricey. Service was very good. read more

Not too bad for a hotel breakfast and one of the decent ones in the area. The tiramisu pancakes were unique and tasty. They also have a pretty good spread in their buffet. read more

My husbands favorite brunch place. Great omelets and the soup and the salad section too--we like the fruit options and the pasteries. There are plenty of vegetarian options read more

Food looks good, but taste not really. French toast not how it's should be cooked. It's more just plane fried bread. Eggs Benedict need improvements. But their coffee was good. read more

Eques - French toast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

$35 daily buffet?! $35?!! Thirty-five dollars?!!! Thirty....five...dollars?!!!!! Are you all out of your minds to charge this much for a hotel breakfast buffet? For this price I'd expect hundreds of menu items, including crab, lobster, steak, etc....rather than your limited selection of items that are not that much different than other hotel buffet. Shame on you for ripping off customers with such an extraordinary price. Food was a bit above average. Selection limited with only a couple special items. Service below avg. Cost was outrageous. Never coming back! read more

I looooove Eques!!! Their food is BOMB and their service is amazing! They have a duck confit & waffle w/ whisky syrup rn that is to die for! We also got their smoked salmon eggs Benedict, both delish. The service is also amazing' Very attentive waiters. We came for thanksgiving 2019 for their buffet and was also bomb. Will be coming back much more often! Hands down best breakfast in Bellevue. I took videos not pics so I can't share :( read more

Stayed at the Hyatt Regency and this place was bomb for breakfast! Buffett was great everything was fresh, bacon was crispy, freshly squeezed OJ, pancakes were delicious. The price a bit steep for restaurant style buffet, but for the quality and service worth it. They have a menu and you can order from there as well if you decide to opt out of the buffet. There was a wait at around 9:30am so best to call and check or make reservations. read more

It was really good. We had a wonderful breakfast (we did not do the buffet) and it was a lot of food.

I usually don't go to this restaurant without a reservation because the wait time is usually long. However, I gave it a try last weekend without a reservation. It was surprisingly quick. Only 15-min wait versus 30-45 min wait! I ordered a Crab Benedict and iced americano and they were amazing! There were a few issues, which were quickly addressed by the server. 1) The table was not properly clean. After I asked them to fix it, it took them about 5-10 mins to re-clean my table 2) Foods came out somewhat slow. It was a busy Saturday so I didn't take it seriously. In the end, the restaurant waived drink fees and gave me a 20% discount. I appreciate the fact that they care enough to give the discount and apologize to me several times. I'd come back here again! read more

I always wanted to try this place and I finally had a chance on my day off. The parking was free on Sundays at the Hyatt and the restaurant was on the second floor. When we got there, it was like 20 minutes wait. Not too bad! There were two options of brunch buffet, one was continental brunch for $ 20 per person, the other one was the full breakfast experience for $23. Obviously, we picked the latter. The server came to fill your orange juice and coffee if you wanted. A omelet station, hot food, fruits, oatmeal, cold cereal and baked pastries etc. and my friend told me that you can order waffles too. It's all included in the full breakfast experience brunch buffet. We ordered whiskey syrup waffle and blueberry cheesecake one. They were delicious! I absolutely loved the food here but not too much about the service. At first, our server was very attentive. About half way of our meal, he quietly dropped the check while we were taking a break. Then we ordered the waffles, he kept on walking a circle to see if I put the credit card in. Right after I put the credit card, he immediately grabbed the check. After he dropped the check, within 3 minutes, he came to check and kindly reminded us not to forget our credit card because I hadn't sighed it. We were in and out for about 45 minutes so I didn't understand why he tried to rush us for. It's not like we were sitting there for 2 hours and he had to turn a table. I waited on a table for many years so I was aware all the moves he made. Compared to the table next to us whose server was efficient but not impatient. Great food for bucks but bad service can ruin everything! read more

Lovely location, over-priced/ over-hyped food (especially post pandemic). I would go here again but probably just ask them to make me a plate from buffet to go and just sit on the hotel lobby to enjoy instead of waiting 1hr+ for a table inside. read more

This would be my second visit to Eques since two years ago. On all occasions it was for the Sunday Buffet Brunch. This would be American style and they have unlimited pancakes and eggs to order. Fresh fruits and bagels. I only gave it 3 stars because the variety was limited and their eggs to order was inconsistent. Some came over cooked and come was just too runny and that was the same for the omelette's as well. It's worth it when you stay at the Hyatt because you would have the breakfast complimentary. The Bloody Mary bar was interesting but it was not part of the brunch. It was an additional $8 per order but you get to be creative with your Bloody Mary's. It's fun for a try but I'm not really a Bloody Mary fan and honestly had no idea what I was doing. Would be fun if they had a little recipe on how an actual Bloody Mary recipe is and then you can add and mix according to how you please. read more

As someone who is well traveled, I've been to a lot of hotel breakfast buffets. This one is definitely among the top 10. Here are the highlights: - Made to order omelettes or eggs: They have a variety of options to choose from from spinach, bacon, apple sausage, turkey, etc. You can even have your omelettes made with egg whites instead! You don't even have to wait- they bring the omelette to you. I've never seen that service before. - Made to order stuffed french toast: We didn't see this on the buffet line (we must have missed the menu card for), but we are grateful to our waitress for informing us. I've heard of made to order omelettes, but made to order french toast is a rarity to me among hotel buffets. There are options to choose from, like balsamic strawberry, blueberry cheesecake, maple bacon, apple pear crisp, etc. We were a bit overwhelmed so we split a balsamic strawberry... it was heaven. The sauce was sweet and tangy, and the stawberries were plentiful. The French Toast itself reminded me of a funnel cake, though it reminded my boyfriend of a doughnut. It was still really good! - Huckleberry Pancakes, Chorizo Polenta, Chicken Apple Sausage: These were some "unique" items on the buffet line... though I am pretty sure the choices rotate daily. The Huckleberry pancakes had a lot of huckleberries in it and were light and fluffy. The Chorizo polenta tasted great for someone who's never really had polenta, good texture... like a savory/cheesey oatmeal? Haha. As for the chicken apple sausage, I do not like regular sausage but these are a good substitute! - Drinks are included in the buffet option. We aren't coffee drinkers, but you can have lattes, coffee, etc. I thought that was a nice addition. - Good variety of fruit: It's always good to eat fruit during a heavy brunch... helps your stomach settle for the digestive period that's yet to come. They had lots of berries and melon slices. I also thought it was nice they had whole apples AND peaches for taking. I like peaches, so it was nice to eat one during a heavy meal. - Recently they started doing a Happy Hour Brunch - on weekdays after 8:30 am you can get $3 off buffet options or menu items (I believe on weekends, it's after noon). Since the American buffet is $19, during Happy Hour it is $16. It must be pretty recent, because when we got there at 8:30 am, they weren't sure if it started at 8 am or 9 am or if the buffet option was included. Sure enough when I showed the waitress the menu on their website, she honored the deal with no questions. Not sure how long this promotion will go for, but it's best to check the website's menu as that's where it was advertised. read more

Pretty lovely restaurant. We had brunch here and it was pretty good. Everything appeared clean and nicely decorated. The parking is kind of hard to find so we ended up looping around until we found the right place. Our server was pretty nice, except he kept forgetting our drinks. I would say that their food is pretty standard to Hyatt brunch buffets. I've been to the one in San Diego and Vancouver that is way better. They have way more selections there. Here, the fruit and hot food options seemed limited compared to the other locations. read more

This is one of my favorite brunch places in Bellevue. I usually do the all you can eat, they have a pretty decent selection of usual brunch items: scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon, French toast, pancake, smoked salmon, salad bar, and fresh fruits. There is also some asian items such as fried rice and depending on which day, miso soup as their soup of the day. I also enjoy their variety of jam and honey with the bread and bagels. When you sit down they give you a menu and you can order some waffles. I also like to go to the omelette bar and get a custom eggs white omelette. I think the variety at Eques isn't as vast as I would've liked, but the quality of food is good. Highly recommend making a reservation here before coming, otherwise it might be a long wait especially on the weekend. read more

Came for brunch and ordered the crab cakes Benedict, which I'd highly recommend! I came because I was staying at the Hyatt Bellevue and this was conveniently located in the hotel. They also have an option for breakfast buffet which seems pretty popular. I ordered a grapefruit juice (wasn't fresh squeezed) and a Bloody Mary, which was DIY so you can make it however you like at the mini bar. read more

Being a solo traveler is sometimes risky. I didn't think breakfast at Eques would be too risky. It's in large hotel, with people waiting to get in and have breakfast. My wait was about 10 minutes, not bad for a Sunday at around 10:00 am. But then I was shown to a two top table in the corner and became a forgotten customer of sorts. My server comes over with a bottle water and asks the usual questions - do you want coffee, do you need cream? Got my coffee but my server was delayed with the cream - got stopped by another table. Ordered my breakfast and waited. Had to flag a server down for additional coffee. My breakfast arrived via an expediter without the biscuit. I mentioned I ordered a biscuit and the response was this is what you ordered. I insisted I ordered a biscuit and what I eventually got was a slightly microwaved frozen biscuit. Flagged down another server and asked if I could get some jelly or jam and he responded right away and apologized for it not being served with the biscuit. Didn't eat the biscuit and paid my check. So, if you are a solo traveler enter at your own risk. read more

Best brunch!! Where to start with this amazing little secret!?! Well it's a hidden gem in zither Hyatt Regency. The have 2 different brunch $15.99 or $19.99 and a menu al a carte. We all got the $19.99 American brunch. Coffee, orange juice to start. ( mimosa / Bloody Mary option too). Omelette bar with any meat or veggie of choice with an egg white alternative! Oatmeal, bagels, croissants, muffins, scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, bacon, pancakes, berry pancakes, Beecher Cheeses, smoked salmon, salami, yogurt, granola, berries: blueberry, raspberry. All you can eat. You will not be disappointed. I mean, it pleases anyone and everyone. From meat eater to vegan. I really enjoyed the omelette bar (took way too long so TIP: go there first). And Beecher's Cheese!!!! 3 different cheeses. Great PNW brunch spot on the east side. FYI does get busy. Reservations encouraged for large parties. *also has a TV* read more

Service was fantastic The omelette and eggs Benedict looked great but the taste was bland. So boring. Not terrible just bland. Attended Wintergrass at the Hyatt. So we hoped for a delicious breakfast. Never again read more

Before Covid I would have said yes but I went recently and was very disappointed We always get the buffet But this time we regretted it Price was increased and the selection was decreased read more

This is our go to for brunch in Bellevue. (It amazes me just how few brunch spots exist in Bellevue.) So, in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king. What I'm saying is, the place isn't great but when brunch is near absent, it's sort of great. It's in a hotel, so the views/people watching aren't really there. Good brunch in a city should 4 parts food and 1 part vibe/people watching, so I have to four star you guys - but don't fret, your chefs are good! Try the eggs Benedict and bring your own people to watch. read more

Very underwhelming considering its inside the Hyatt regency which typically has better restaurants than a "dennys". The buffet is over priced and the a la carte items are bland at best. Service is mediocre. read more

Went here for the breakfast buffet and was really disappointed: 1) The receptionist greeted us and went to check if our table was ready but decided to spend 5 minutes chatting with another patron while we were waiting on her... 2) After we were seated, our waitress was nowhere to be found for 15min. She did apologize when she came back, but then she completely forgot the only item I asked for. 3) Buffet items were very limited and poorly cooked. The sausage was too rubbery, the bacon was too dry, and the scrambled eggs were too soggy... I only went for one round and got disinterested pretty quickly. read more

Breakfast buffet offered excellent variety and was kept fresh. We were part of a three couple gathering and the server didn't WS t to split our bill three ways. She took it to management who agreed, which was good in the end. We gladly paid the mandatory 20% gratuity for a barge group, just needed it split three ways. Only reason for four stars vs five was the cost. $93/couple is very high for breakfast. read more

This is my second visit and it's like most mid-high end hotel breakfast restaurants. I like that this is a good place to have a breakfast meeting. The chairs are comfy and it is quiet. The buffet at $24 has a lot of the usual hotel breakfast options. The oatmeal is average. The poached egg on smashed avocado toast is pretty good and eggs poached just right. There is heavy use of salsa under the egg which was a surprise and a little overpowering. Good for meetings and an expense account. But there are a lot of options around the corner. read more

this place is crazy. the menu is insane to me. the food is expensive but it's all delicious. the portions are huge--easily shareable between two (or more?) people. the tiramisu pancakes are amazing--my husband and i always get them whenever we're feeling fancy. i wish they were open later, because there have been a few times when i've wanted to order from here, but they're closed!! read more

They really take care of you, the only thing is I didn't really like the tiramisu pancakes. I'm sure they have other great things in the menu though read more

Usually we like to enjoy their Sunday brunch buffet. There are 2 options of buffet: American $19.95 and Continental $15.95 Coffee and OJ are included. The fruit smoothies are not included with the buffet, but those are really good ($7 each) Their omelette bar is a highlight for sure. I like to order a one-egg omelet to be able to enjoy the rest of the buffet. They used to have feta cranberry sausage, but we haven't seen them recently. Great service and neat ambience. read more

Not may good veggie options. Got the vegetable hash and it tasted like it wasnt cooked with any seasoning, just steamed veggies. Incredibly bland, do not recommend. read more

I love this breakfast buffet located inside Hyatt Bellevue. They have lots of selections, including a Bloody Mary station and an Omelette station. The service is friendly and definitely family friendly. On an early Saturday morning, the restaurant was close to its full capacity. Of all, I love the honeycomb, so tasty to add to my oatmeal and yogurt. Plenty of choices, clean dining room and friendly service, it has become one of my favorite breakfast choices on the eastside. read more

Eques is located in Bellevue Place, as a dining option associated with Hyatt Regency. The hostess team was very friendly, and we were seated right away. Our server was super nice and attentive. She explained the option of the breakfast buffet vs the regular a la carte menu. I went with her recommendation for the Crab Benedict, and I was not disappointed. I loved the pepper jelly and the citrus cream rather than a traditional hollandaise -- definitely set this dish apart! My husband enjoyed his Eggs Benedict, for which he sub'ed the buttermilk biscuit in place of the english muffin. The meal came quickly as well! Their OJ was good, their drip coffee was decent (no espresso here). The restroom is outside of the restaurant, around the corner, near the ballrooms. Our bill was $68 after tax for two coffees, an OJ, the crab benny and regular benny. A bit on the pricey side, but a good experience for a quick breakfast. read more

My husband and I ended our staycation by going here for brunch. As we were trying to locate the restaurant (it was a little difficult as there aren't signs outside to find it - it is inside the Bellevue Collection) a grounds keeper pointed us to the restaurant. He also said do yourself a favor and get the Crab Benedict. My husband and I arrived and was told there would be a 45 minute wait. We decided ok, since it got rave reviews. They texted us when the table was ready. They had a buffet. The cost was $25 and some cents. They have an omelet station, bread station, fresh fruit, cheese and meat tray, eggs, bacon, and sausage. They also had waffles included that you can order and drinks. You could also order off the menu. My honey went right for the Crab Benedict. The waitress said the sauce is made with orange and lemon juice as well as champagne. I ordered just the basic egg benedict and we ordered a side of fresh fruit. The coffee was good. Our order came. My honey always lets me try his first. At the first bite I knew I ordered wrong. OH MY GOSH...IT WAS SO GOOD. My main question to the waitress was...why doesn't anyone know about this dish around here?! Mine was good. My only complaint was the ham was really thick cut. I wish it was a little thinner, not much, but it just didn't go with the English muffin it was on. That is a minor complaint. The sauce was good, it wasn't as spectacular as my husbands. Mine was a little thicker than ones I had at other restaurants. This restaurant just does breakfast/brunch. Do yourself a favor...go. When you go get the Crab Benedict. SERIOUSLY! The only complaint my honey had (I did too) was it would be great with a little more salt. It came with a little cut up avocado and multicolored cherry tomatoes. Happy customers. We will be back even with a wait...it was worth it! read more

Absolutely insanely amazing. You have to go here if you love good food. I got the corned beef hash and my husband got the chorizo hash and we shared sourdough toast. The corned beef hash was chunks of tender brisket that were melt in your mouth glorious, cooked to perfection, mixed with sautéed onions and diced tender potatoes, drizzled with house-made hollandaise and two eggs nestled on top. Unbelievably good. The chorizo hash was perfectly spiced, also with potatoes and two eggs as well as arugula mixed in. Can't say enough good things - go! You won't be sorry! read more

This was my first time having a breakfast buffet and I can honestly say my stomach was not prepared for that much deliciousness that early in the day! I tried their American Buffet for $19.95. Although there wasn't much of a selection to choose from, everything I tried were delicious and fresh, and the service was excellent. Make sure you try their waffles -- their maple bacon waffles were to die for! read more

Falsely advertised that their brunch buffet had "returned", although it clearly was no where to be seen. Understandable due to Covid-19, but misleading nevertheless. Waitress was inattentive and had to be called several times to replace dirty glasses, refill water, tea. Never got coffee refilled. read more

Good breakfast spot. Its kinda in a weird spot, I think its in a hotel but unsure. overall got the french toast and a tall grapefruit juice and they delivered. normally dont go for that for breakfast but they did a great job here. price range about $25 bucks per person. however it was on the company card so WOOHOO! lol. Definitely worth going back if in the area again. nice food, decent priced. read more

My friend and I met for brunch here a while back and I have to tell you... I had always been hesitant but curious about coming to this place. Hesitant? Well because I had some preconceived notions on the portions being a bit too small for my hobbit appetite. But I was pleasantly surprised! We ordered the Tiramisu pancakes and the egg white omelette. Both were phenomenal! We ended up sharing each because we wanted to try both as they looked so beautifully appetizing! I'd highly recommend going here. Honestly this could not only be fun for friends, but family and even a date. I'm definitely going back for more brunch here. read more

When you call, Eques asserts they are the best game in town for breakfast and they are very busy. So a poor attitude over the phone. The service was extraordinarily poor and slow: left coffee cups 10 minutes after asking for coffee but did not bother to fill them until we asked for it 5-10 minutes later. The server was generally nowhere to be found, did not ask how things were, did not check the accuracy or quality of our orders, and overall did less than the bare minimum. The buffet was very poor in selection and quality. The omelette was small was not cooked to order and tasted average. Overall not worth the time, the money, the experience. I am a resident of Bellevue and used to frequent the place and highly recommend it: no more, Eques has lost my business, and the business of everyone I know. Not that they act like they need my business or anyone else's. read more
