   Delicious meal! Great selection of meat and vegan options. Food presented nicely but most of all was really delicious. Wine selection also very good.

   I booked Equinox for a double date and to try it out for restaurant week. It’s a beautiful restaurant with nice decor and friendly service. The food was delicious and well portioned. Our table shared the fritters to start and they were delightful. We would have eaten all of them but we wanted to save room for our apps and entrees. The bacon wrapped pork was so tasty and not dry like some pork can get. The tomato bisque soup was flavorful and satisfying. The key lime tart was so cute and delicious! I would like to go again to try other dishes. Everyone else at the table enjoyed the swordfish entree and octopus appetizer and also the hanger steak.

   We went for restaurant week. The first course was grilled octopus that was very nicely prepared and flavorful. We shared the second course. Unfortunately, the salmon was somewhat overcooked and dry, so not much to our liking. However, the pork was excellent and properly cooked. For dessert, the sticky toffee pudding was very good but not as good as that made by Convivial. The fudge brownie was not fudge but rather a light chocolate cake. Overall, the food was very good but not excellent. Portions were generous and service was attentive.

   The vegan brunch tasting menu was a delight. The place is well-decorated but not trendy. Food was delicious and a great value for the price.

   My date and I were very impressed with the vegan brunch. I always feel left out of brunch because of the limited options for vegans but this was a 10/10.

    This was our second New Year's eve dinner at Equinox. The menu was interesting with vegetarian choices for every course and the food was delicious. The wine list was surprisingly small but well chosen to match the food. There were only four mocktails on the menu which was a bit of a disappointment. The interior dining room lacks character, but the patio is very pleasant.

    Food was good and the plant based menu was very inventive. Service was a little off. They brought bread and the amuse bouche before our waiter even came over for drinks - we did have water. We had to ask for my husband's wine when the first course came. For the dessert course we had to call the waiter over to order coffee and then had to ask for it when they brought the dessert w/o it. It was New Year's Eve and the restaurant was crowded so that was likely the issue. Would like to try it on a regular night and have the normal menu. There was a special menu w/less options for New Year's which was a little disappointing.

    They only offered a limited New Years menu which itself was misleading as to the number of selections. They got two items that were ordered wrong. Their lobster salad barely had any lobster and was bland. Their desserts were cheap and underwhelming.

    My fiancé and I had Chefs plant based tasting menu last night. It was amazing. Service was top notch. We were taken care of to fullest extent. Atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family. Great job to chef and his team . Our server was amazing as well . Thanks again.

    We were seated in the smallish interior dining room. It had the feel of an intimate space without being stuffy. Our server provided prompt service without making us feel rushed at all. The four selections we made from the menu - salad, chestnut mushroom soup, rockfish and scallops - were all delicious and well-presented. An accommodation was made in the kitchen for a dietary restriction. Our waiter even went so far as to read the packaging of the buckwheat soba noodles to find whether they contained gluten (they do via some wheat flour). It was a very enjoyable dinner

    Honestly the food was okay, but the service was great. It’s overpriced for the quality of the food. The soup seemed like it had a lot of flour to thicken it out. Salad was great. The bean and Brussels sprouts dish would have been perfect if the sprouts weren’t over salted. Desert was a slice of a Bundt cake… disappointing for an $85 tasting menu. Pretty sure you’re paying for proximity to the White House. If you’re looking for a plant based tasting menu in DC, there are better places at the same price point.

    Read all the great reviews and don’t get it. Food was fine. Nothing special. Not a huge selection of items. Probably better for vegetarians. Ambience was not what I expected. Looked like an older place. I had the impression it was new and really popular. It was pretty quiet when we were there. We sat on a glassed in patio. Overall, I’d say it was pretty average. Nothing bad at all, just nothing special in a town full of over the top choices.

    Equinox had a tasting menu and the timing of each course was perfect. The taste was amazing and the service was great. The ambience and aesthetics of the place could have been better for the value, but that's hardly a sore in the experience with such great food.

    Really fabulous food. I would have liked them slowing down service which they did after I complained They should have offered us a drink to start snd immediately brought the first course and then quickly the second. But servers were very nice and friendly The food is great and abundant Very nice experience

    We wanted a nice plant-based meal in a restaurant without it just being the typical sandwich/salad/juice bar that we were finding as options for vegan food. Equinox was amazing! We had a fancy dinner and chose the plant-based tasting menu with the wine pairing. The staff was so attentive and knowledgeable about what was being served, presentation of everything was wonderful, and we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of our 5 course meal with excellent wines that were paired so well. We will definitely return!

    We were looking forward to a special dinner with my family, but sadly, this place was anything but. The dining room/space was fine--a bit nondescript with vinyl seats and booths, industrial carpeting, and the obligatory color photos of vegetables. The staff was pushing cocktails and seemed disappointed we preferred to share a bottle of wine. (I realize they make their money on cocktails, but not everyone drinks a lot!) The wine list was weird--we had to use our phones instead of a proper menu and we kept accessing the "wrong" list with the QR code as featured on the table. Frustrating! The food itself was pretty bland to--well, lousy. My octopus was very tender but dripping in a sweet, sticky sauce and set in a puddle of something saffron-y, both of which didn't enhance the flavor of the octopus at all. My second course, spinach rigatoni, was room-temperature and more gluey than chewy. I was surprised it was so cold as the waitstaff had cleared the table of our appetizers before my sister and mother were finished with theirs (my sister was fine with that--her butternut soup had absolutely no flavor and she was happy to let it go--but my mom was annoyed and insisted on keeping her salad; as a compromise, they pushed it to the side and told her to "finish it later"!) My dad and husband both had the cod, which they described as "featureless." We were hurried through our main course as well and, discouraged, decided to skip desert and just call it a night--and let them have their table back since it seemed they wanted it. Funny thing was, the place was pretty empty (and this was the night after Thanksgiving, when it is really hard to get a dinner reservation in DC!) On my way to the restroom, I had a view into the kitchen, and the staff was just leaning against the counters, so I can't imagine why we had to hurry. But it didn't matter really--we weren't having a nice time, so there was no need to stick around. In short: don't bother. It's nothing special.

    Wonderful thanksgiving experience! We were going for non-traditional after a tough 2022, and Equinox delivered! My carnivore daughter even said “if all vegetables were THIS delicious, I’d consider becoming vegan!” The rest of the meal was just as spectacular…might become our new tradition! Thank you to Equinox for a fabulous meal!
