I'll say right off the bat that I was sorely disappointed with Equinox. It had gotten generally good reviews and Todd Gray was supposed to be a wonderkid of modern dining.
What I found was anything but: the salmon was overcooked to the point of dessication, the wine pairings with our 3 course menu felt like the restaurant was just trying to clean out the cellar, and our server was extremely disinterested in well, serving us.
The dessert was nice, a pink-peppercorn ice cream in a cherry broth that wasn't too sweet. Unfortunately, neither that nor the 20% that they took off the bill was enough to save this meal for me. There are much better places in D.C. to spend this type of money.
