The Equinox Restaurant in Northwest Washington DC Near the White House

As simple and elegant as the food, the dining room at Equinox matches the cuisine in its mission for simplicity and purity. There are four distinct dining areas:

The Atrium at Equinox

The atrium, is set right on the street to allow guests to experience the restaurant's close proximity to the White House and other DC landmarks. The fireplace and textured glass provide naturalistic elements to create an urban feeling in the space. The atrium is open all year long and can be reserved as a private dining area, which can accommodate small and large parties up to 65 people.

The Main Dining Room at Equinox

The main dining room is generally a little quieter and offers an atmosphere that encourages a leisurely dinner or a quick power lunch. The booths and smaller tables can be more intimate, though larger parties can also be accommodated in the space.

The Private Wine Room at Equinox

The private wine room is just off the main dining room and can be closed off completely for smaller private affairs up to 12. Wines lining the wall provide the atmosphere of dining in an exclusive cellar with warm and romantic lighting.

The Equinox Bar

The bar encourages a festive and informal atmosphere. People sitting at the bar experience food and wine pairings and an occasional visit from the chef.
