Food was great! Service/logistics were off as we had reservations but ended up getting seating 50 minutes after our reserved time. Didn’t help some of our mains were forgotten as well. Must have been an off night as we’ve been here several times and service is usually on point.

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.
