We enjoyed our visit. While we enjoyed the shift to plate service, we look forward to the return of the buffet!
There to celebrate the birthday of my vegan wife with her and our two adult children. Great ambiance, great service. The only minus was the changing menu. I had hoped to have the beef which was on the menu at the time of making the reservation but was not there upon our arrival.
We had 2 evenings in Washington DC and felt really lucky to have chosen Equinox for our last evening. The food was delicious and the service was even better. It has a homey atmosphere while doing a beautiful job of safe distancing. I was my birthday and they made it extra special. Thanks Equinox!!!
Delicious food (some of which "happened to be vegan"), & attentive service!
We had the 5 course wine pairing dinner which was fabulous!!! Cheers to Chef Todd Gray- he never disappoints!
By(i)ron, was on point/knowledgeable/pleasant, he really took care of us and went above and beyond!!
The food was absolutely amazing!
Excellent plant-based food on Sundays, great service
Best food ever. Go here for every special occasion!
Pretty good overall. Had a few things gone better, I would have been extremely impressed. The food was great. Ambiance was decent but could have been more romantic.
I chose this restaurant for its ability to cater to vegans and food allergies. The Valentine's Day menu was not great. Only 2 food options that worked. Now, I will admit those two options were really good. But, I chose this restaurant hoping there would be many options.
The waiter was not quite sure of the menu it seemed and it was impossible to deviate from it. I was slightly frustrated and embarrassed to know that my date had very limited options. At one point the waiter didnt know enough about my entree that he stopped talking midway through his explanation, said enjoy and walked away lol. Now I thought it was funny but it was not a shining moment.
Based on my experience here on V-Day weekend. I would not visit on another holiday where they limit the menu. The food was very tasty and for that, I would visit again when they are using their normal menu where vegan and food sensitive people can have more options.
The 3 course meal for 2 including 1 alcoholic drink with tip was $200. The experience was not worth $200. If I paid $150 I think that would be fair. If I paid $100, I would feel that I robbed them.
We always love Equinox. The staff are just the right amount of solicitous, they really know their stuff and the pace set by them is just right. Of course, the meal was superb. All plant-based and all amazing! Equinox makes a very good name for Veganism! Thank you!
It’s always a delicious and delightful dining experience @ Equinox. I’m never disappointed there. The food’s always fresh and seasoned to perfection. Warm, inviting venue with attentive staff. I shall return.
Was there for restaurant week. Food was good and portions were generous.
Amazing!! We were seated out in the patio and the staff and environment were so warm (despite the 30 degree weather). If anyone is scared to dine out right now, the staff and procedures at Equinox should put you to ease. From their outdoor dining space to consistent mask wearing, everything at Equinox made this feel like a top notch experience. Not to mention the food. Like, wowow. Very good! The tasting menu was a delight and the vegan dessert was the perfect way to end the night. Well, that title is actually tied with our server who gave us a complimentary drink and helped wish us a wonderful new year. He pointed us in the right directions and helped us choose only the best food and wine pairings. He really made the whole experience feel safe, sound, and simply amazing.
The whole dining experience was so wonderful it almost felt like I was in 2019 and eating out my favorite restaurant where the staff knows me and everyone is smiling. Except it was 2021 and I was trying a new restaurant outside in the cold and everyone was just so gracious and kind that I couldn’t help but feel welcomed.
Great food. My party enjoyed dinner. We plan to return.
It was great. Food was very good and service was excellent, as usual.
The service was fabulous but the food was average and the wine was not a good pour for the price.
Went for DC restaurant week, food and wine as a whole was exquisite. Our server was also very nice and provided great wine recommendations.
Unbelievable restaurant week menu, grilled octopus, hangar steak, Bundt cake. Fir the wine pairing with generous pours. Ambiance and service was impeccable. Thank u so much. Fabulous. Loved it.
What a uniquely wonderful restaurant. Their creative and outstanding plant-based options make it our favorite restaurant and keep us coming back!
As usual, the food and the service were great. Only restaurant I feel comfortable dining at in Covid times.
Georgi was incredibly helpful and nice about our New Year's Eve meal. There was a slight miscommunication about the meal being gluten-free, but the staff was very apologetic and sincere about the mix-up, and overall Equinox was very accomodating about our dietary restrictions. Despite the miscommunication, it was a very good experience overall.
I have been here multiple times for great occasions. Food is always superb. Great choices for vegans alike as well as a regular menu. Great wine pairing and listings as well. Service is always superb and accommodating.
My boyfriend & I love coming here for their vegan brunch. Everyone there is super friendly and they care a lot about their customers.
Great experience, amazing food, attentive service and beautiful atmosphere...would definitely recommend!!!
Great place for brunch - we had the 8 course meal and the food was quite exceptional! The ambience is earthy blended with modernism and lots of light. Great vegan spot and would definitely recommend.
We visited Equinox by the choice of our Vegan son for his birthday dinner. Being Carnivores, we were a tad leary, but Equinox was AMAZING. The chef/owner came out to personally greet us - such a welcoming, impressive touch. The food was absolutely incredible. The multitude of flavors pairing perfectly with each other - I didn't want the meal to end. We will definitely be back.
Had the 8 course brunch for the first time and greatly enjoyed it. Lots of delicious courses: Loved the first course of chili especially on a cold wintry day; basic couple of light green salads; flavorful curry dish (mild, would have liked a bit more heat); French toast was outstanding, right balance between crunch, sweetness (it wasn't too sweet!) and savory; Couldn't get enough of the molasses cookie and fritter--those two alone will draw me back! Well done Todd G!
Excellent service and food! Good location, tasty wines. We did the pairing wines and food, totally recommend this!
White glove service and lots of vegan options. Would definitely recommend for a quiet dinner or a date!
We really enjoyed our dinner at Equinox. The cocktails were outstanding, the menu was diverse and included vegetarian options which we appreciated since we were a diverse set of diners. My only regret is not having room to order a dessert. Next time...
Food, service and ambience were excellent. We really enjoyed our meal and will be back.
Excellent as always. We always enjoy the food and great company. Everything from the food to the service was excellent.
Equinox gave my partner and I one of the best restaurant experiences we've ever had. It was my partners birthday and the staff went above and beyond. Alfredo and Georgie took care of us and they were attentive, kind and genuinely happy we were there. We ordered the tasting menus, my partner the plant based and mine was the market menu. Every dish was absolutely outstanding. The curried pumpkin soup was my favorite but everything was 5star quality. Will definitely return and will be talking about our evening for a while.
Fantastic birthday brunch experience! We really liked all of the options on the brunch tasting menu, and we were able to order more of any dish we liked (at no extra cost). Juices for drinks were fresh, everything was delicious. Staff was all very attentive. Atrium was well set up, still a really nice atmosphere. Look forward to one day getting to try the buffet brunch, but this is an excellent alternative.
Food and service were great.
Absolutely wonderful vegan brunch, affordable for the quality and quantity of food served. Definitely upmarket but worth it nonetheless. The covered outside space is both beautiful, green, and socially distant. Honestly, more than i could hope for in 2020.
Chef special linguine with truffles was very good (but overpriced), the rest of the meal was mediocre. Server was condescending.
Always delicious! Fabulous meal and drinks!
The food was very delicious. Many vegan and GF free options as well as non vegan food. The venue is a bit boring. We were sitting outside( under a tent side of the street) but the decor both inside and outside can be improved much more.
