    The plant-based vegan brunch at Equinox is absolutely my favorite meal anytime, anywhere. Do NOT miss it if you are in DC! The vegan Nutella French Toast was OMG!

    Food and service was great. The bar area is very loud. Restaurant does have private rooms so doors can be closed to block noise.

    AMAZING! One of the best restaurants I have dined at in my life. It is a perfect place to take meat eaters and plant only eaters to and neither party will be disappointed or have to sacrifice. The atmosphere is outstanding. No one in my dining party had any complaints; we all walked out that night with big smiles and happy bellies. Ask for George as your waiter; he is outstanding! His knowledge of the menu and the wine/alcohol menu was superb He has very excellent recommendations for every dish. Also play the “guess where his accent is from” game with him. If you are stumped, ask for a hint.

    Food was exhorbitantly priced. 20% service charges was already added making the food more expensive.

    Loved the plant-based (vegan) pre-fix menu! The service was excellent as always here, very attentive and kind. We went for our anniversary and loved it. The noise level where we sat (as you enter, we sat on the left side) was louder than expected as there were only two other tables around us. However we have sat in the other parts and never had that issue when trying to talk with each other. I got the wine pairing and that part I probably wouldn’t repeat. However overall loved it and plan to come back!

    Equinox is always a treat. Last night we had soft shell crabs and steak. Both were delicious. And the carrot cake was amazing! I’ve been a customer for 25 years.

    Really yummy vegan options for all courses in a nice fine dining restaurant that often will serve non-vegans yummy meat, fish options. The servers were very attentive. I went with some good friends, also a great place for the little birthday celebration, or a date. Parking is pretty easy too , which is great for DC. It was my second time there and both times were great.
