Joes was a great manager and checked on us a couple of times. Our server, Annie was great as well. The food was good. The scallops were delicious but a little too much mushrooms for my liking in the risotto. It was louder than I thought it would/should be, but it was fine. The tables for two are kind of small and close together with other tables of two so you are in everyone’s conversions and plates. I would go back.

There was a private event that required we be seated in a private dining room that was cozy and comfortable. Despite this huge event happening, our service by Gustavo was incredibly attentive and timely. What a warm and wonderful human being! Chef Todd Gray always manages to hire the best staff out there. They are incredibly personable, knowledgeable and caring about their work. The food is always scrumptious and top notch. Equinox is our go-to plant-based restaurant for sure. It's always a celebration of food, love, ambience, and fabulous service. We adore it there.
