My boyfriend and I were late for our reservation and trying to make it to a show at the Kennedy Center. The staff at Sixty Vines was extremely accommodating. They sat us immediately and were quick and attentive with service. The food was delicious and I was able to relax knowing that we would be able to make the show. We had a wonderful experience, we’ll definitely be 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.
