Expansive menu, reasonable prices, amazing food and service! The freshness could be tasted in every item we ordered. House-made biscuits with a toasty twist, crispy fried chicken served with white gravy on waffles, pork chop and mashed potatoes, with a selected side of roasted brussel sprouts, and finally a generous slice of coconut cream pie for dessert. The entrees passing by our table looked just as amazingly delicious. Highly recommend!

We had a GREAT time at Equinox. This is a very special restaurant. The entire menu is fabulous. I love their ability to cover both delicious omnivore and exquisite plant based options. All food is impeccable. There is something for everyone - and I’ve noticed people of all ages and much diversity. The staff is warm and inviting and the atmosphere is “elevated cozy”. LOVE this place. congrats on the one year in the new space. Support this DC treasure!
