   Great tasty choices for DC Veg Restaurant week. Glad they keep the noise to a good level unlike other newer plant forward places. It’s good to have a nice meal without having to yell across the table.

   Equinox is usually very quiet, and the reason we chose to go there. However this night there was a party of some sort in the front part of the restaurant and it was very loud. Conversation was difficult. Food flavors were excellent, however it arrived barely warm. Would prefer paper menus vs scanning QR code. This trip was a bit disappointing; not the usual pleasant evening.

   The ambience and the service of this restaurant is good. The only complaint I have about that is the restaurant can get quite loud because there are a lot of people seated in a small area. The food is absolutely nowhere near worth the price. I cannot believe how under seasoned and underwhelming the food was in general. Even the presentation should’ve been better. Moreover, the food for the tasting menu needs to come out consistently. My party waited 5-15 minutes for each course to arrive after the next. The range shouldn’t be so wide. With tip, the bill was $320. I could have a true fine dining experience in San Francisco or New York City for the same price or less. I will not come back, nor recommend this restaurant.

   Went for Mother’s Day, as this is the third year in a row we’ve made it our tradition. The qr coded menu on the table and also the menu online were misleading, as there were two courses listed that we did not get served. We intentionally did not finish the 4th and 5th courses thinking two more courses were going to be served (a pasta dish and curry dish), but the server just brought out dessert that finished the meal. The complimentary cocktails and extra to-go bagged dessert for my mom was a nice touch. Nonetheless everything was delicious, and we love supporting the best vegan restaurant in the city!

   This was our first visit and it won't be our last. Chef Todd is very personable and the food was amazing. Even the non-vegans loved everything! The staff is very attentive and friendly. We now know why so many people love Equinox! Can't wait to go, again!

   My boyfriend and I visited DC and chose this as our "fancy" date night. This was our least favorite dining experience, and the most expensive by far. We chose the 5 course meal and our first two courses came out before we received our drink. They did tell us that the normal bartender was out because of an injury so there was someone new. We were both understanding about this, as we have worked in food service. My main complaint was the lack of communication with the waiter. When you pay $300 for dinner, you expect exceptional service, and it was far from that. The asparagus soup and the octopus were excellent, and the other courses were fine, but nothing special. We enjoyed our more casual dining experiences much more than Equinox.

    Food was great, but service was very very slow. With a reservation waited half and hour to be seated, waited 15 minutes to order drinks, another 15 minutes to order food was there 2.5 hours for a 3 course dinner. Its not somewhere I'd go back. Nothing really sets it apart from other places.

    Didier did a great job as our server—from adjusting the outdoor heating lamp to recommending entrees. We long have been fans of Mr. and Mrs. Gray. Very happy Equinox has survived the recent hard times and is as good as ever!

    Reunion with college classmates here in DC was extra special because of our delicious meal and excellent service at Equinox. We had people with allergies and those who requested adjustments to the menu, and wait staff and chefs did an expert job assisting to address those needs. We were very appreciative.

    We walked in and waited 15 mins to be seated. The servers were very nice but not attentive. We had to open and pour our wine as we almost finished our corse while we waited for the server to come over. The last course of our tasting menu was listed as short ribs, what arrived was a much tougher type of beef. When the server finally came over and we asked he said it was sirloin. He never took the time to let us know before he served it and wouldn’t have if we did not question it. I will not go back.

    After a long convention day we looked online to find a nice dining experience near the White House. We had a drink at the Hay Adams and walked three minutes around the corner to equinox. It was quiet beautifully lit, and delicious. Waiter was fantastic. Highly recommend.

    Our recent dining experience at Equinox was quite the mixed bag. We found that the food was pretty good. The service leaves a lot to be desired. There were lots of employees on the restaurant floor, but the service was SLOW at best. Our dining experience lasted 2 and 1/2 hours for an appetizer, entree and dessert. Most of that was due to slow service; maybe the kitchen was slow??? The restaurant is extremely expensive for what you get and for the overall dining experience. For example, the soft shell crab entree special ended up being $55!!!!! Shame on me for not asking the price when I ordered. The wine list is very limited and on the $75 and higher per bottle range. Lastly, the restaurant needs a facelift. The ambience is very tired and old looking. For the prices that they're charging it should be much nicer. I don't think we'll be going back any time soon.

    The food was all good, but we sat outside (due to covid concerns) and were freezing cold when the sun went behind the building despite bringing small blankets with us. There were many heaters right next to the table but no one offered to put one on for us. Another couple with a small baby came and were similarly uncomfortable and finally got someone to bring one of the heaters over for them, but it definitely wasn't offered. We were hurrying to eat as quickly as we could so we could leave and warm! The service was friendly, but slow (about 15 minutes before we were greeted) and I got the sense that we were forgotten about outside and that our comfort seemed of little concern. It was unusual compared to other nice restaurants we've dined outside at during these past few pandemic years, particularly for a special meal like Easter brunch. We love Equinox but will likely go elsewhere until we're comfortable returning for indoor dining.

    We tried the vegan tasting menu and my goodness it was excellent! My teen loved the dishes and we did not miss the meat at all. Everything smelled wonderful and was delicious. The flavors were spot on, strong, and hearty. The hibiscus ginger drink was refreshing and light - perfect compliment to a rich meal. We were quickly seated upon arrival with the reservation. Staff were all very courteous and helpful, prompt. When the dishes were served, they explained what they were and how they were prepared. It was a birthday celebration and they surprised us with a candle on the dessert! That was brilliant and so sweet of them. Parking was right next door and with validation it was a steal considering it is downtown DC. All in all we had a wonderful time there with good food and friendly service. We will definitely return!

    I love Equinox and have dined here many times over the last few years for their Sunday vegan brunch. Unfortunately, this particular experience was my least favorite to date. A couple of the staff there were a bit rude, particularly our designated waiter. He was rather brash and at times, inattentive. At one of our requests, he rolled his eyes, which was extremely off-putting. The busboys who were providing assistance were very helpful and pleasant though. I will return to Equinox because I value the creativity and variety that goes into the vegan dishes that are prepared, and I hope to be able to leave a more positive review in the future.

    I have been going to Equinox since 2016 and it is always a wonderful experience. Alfredo is a wonderful addition to the team and even though he primarily stays at the bar, he takes time to get to know all the customers in the restaurant, and makes you feel like family. I look forward to returning.

    We were excited to try this new restaurant on a trip to DC. The menu on Open Table showed a nice variety of dishes with many vegetarian and vegan options. We ended up being seated at a dark corner off to one side of the interior room and after our server initially came by to see if we weee ready to order (we weren’t) he never came back. We had to ask a busboy to find our server but he had decided to work the other room so we ended up with a new server , which was fine but seems unprofessional. The actual menu at the restaurant was nothing like the one on Open Table so we did have some trouble deciding what to order since it didn’t have the variety we were expecting. The food came out quickly and was well prepared but the overall experience was not what we had anticipated.

    Equinox was a great place to try. It made me so happy that the brunch was fully vegan! The staff was really nice. Our particular server seemed to forget about us after the first 2 courses because we weren't told anything about what was getting brought out so we ended up looking it up. The food was good, the chocolate chip pancakes made me happy, the pasta and the curry were really good. Overall, it's worth trying once or more if you personally love it. I really like the idea of it but would love to see some adjustments to the menu or to the individual dishes! Thank you!
