I'm trying to make a list for my family for complimentary dining, snacks, food, etc. other than the main dining room and the buffet. Can anyone help me with some names of places on the Equinox and what deck it is located? This will help so they don't have to do all the research once on the ship.

I'll actually answer the question you asked. 
These Specialty Restaurants are all on Deck 5.
My experience is based off my 2019 Summer sailing, as this was the only time I sailed on Equinox.
Murano (French): This was my favorite and has a course by course dinner service and Sommelier, with cheese platter service as well. Tuscan Grille (Italian): This usually has an special Embarkation Day promo price of 30$-35$ per person and has a course by course dinner service and Sommelier. Sushi on 5 (Japanese): This an al a carte venue, with prices set by the item. Q'sine (Curated): This venue has a curated menu, that changes daily. This venue has an amazing 3D animated show, projected directly onto your table and plate, that shows your meal being prepared by the chef. They have a chef contest, where the 3D animated characters of the Le Petit Chef and three guest chefs compete for the Master Chef hat. This was only done on embarkation night of my sailing.Hope this helps 20 days after posting the question.

BTW, and in all seriousness...go find cruise "reviews" by "normal" people...(yeah i know...believe what you will about what you read...some folks ALWAYS crab" and only post complaints no matter how nice the other 95% of the cruise was...)......either in here or accredited sites like "trip advisor"....Especially concentrate on things like EXCURSIONS they can get very expensive and often not worth it...try to ignore folks who are shilling for cruise lines, like the cruise lines themselves and most T/A's...they have an agenda....which is NOT yours....

Sure...google deck plans for any ship...and LEARN to use em. usually everybodys cruise site has pictures and menus...do the same for excursions...the LESS you do onboard the better...let about 3k of your newest friends wait in line, since most of em don't know squat anyway and were too lazy (let someone else you don't know do it) or too stupid to figure out what they were spending skeighty-eight thousand dollars on...EVERYBODY had to start somewhere.....when we started i couldn't figure out where the front of the ship was...GOOD LUCK!!~!

Below is one VERY quick search to answer your question. I recently cruised on Celebrity and found MANY free dining options. Please search the ship, and the various possibilities. You should not be disappointed.
I have to say, I had dinner at Le Petite Chef (not free). I have to rank the dining experience as one of the TOP 5 meals I have EVER enjoyed. On a cruise? Want a special memory ? Try Le Petite Chef. Unique !!!!!
You should NEVER wait to decide what to do, or where to eat once aboard the ship, The internet is a wealth of knowledge. Long before you board -- USE IT !!!
What restaurants are free on Celebrity Equinox? If you're in a standard cabin, the only Celebrity Equinox restaurants without fees are the Silhouette main dining room, the Oceanview Cafe buffet, some items at the AquaSpa Cafe and the Mast Grill. Blu and Luminae are only for AquaClass and suite passengers, respectively.

Hope you get some feedback. I’ve never sailed with them.
