"big disappointment. Being in the Rock Center, expected great things. Pictures online are misleading. Made reservations but only two of us in whole restaurant. Looks like a lunch business is what they are after."

"Overall we had a very nice experience at Pulse. I was hoping for something with a bigger view but our table was at the window and my daughter had a nice view of Rockefeller Center ice rink. We both had salads which were delicious and I had a generous glass of wine. The service was very attentive. We would recommend."

"Important to note that this is a small part of the Equinox gym. Entry is through Equinox - not intuitive if you are looking for a restaurant. (Although the name is a clue...).Service in an almost empty restaurant was scarce.The food, when it arrived, was ok.Save for meeting clients post- workout."

"It did not live up to the various website descriptions. Walking through a cafeteria style eating area was a complete turn-off, which made the price point that much less justified. There are many more restaurants w/ better food, ambiance, etc. in the same price range. Our server was very nice and attentive, but I would not go back nor recommend this restaurant."

"I was very disapoointed. Our group of six was the only one in the retaurant for dinner; no one else was there leaving a very bad ambiance and general bad feeling about the place. Also, there was an unpleasant odor in the restaurant. I would NOT go back."
