I had my husband's 60th birthday here, and it was fantastic from Lauren helping me plan the event, to the wait staff, the bartender, and the beautiful fireplace room - every detail was awesome!! If you are vegan, you definitely want to come for the vegan tasting menu!!

Fantastic food and atmosphere! This new location is just lovely, with plenty of sunlight and a cozy fireplace that adds to the charm. As someone who enjoys seafood, I was pleased with the variety of options available. And don't even get me started on the wine selection—it's excellent. I definitely suggest giving this place a try! The service is outstanding.

Everything we ate was amazing. My husband and I ate the vegan 5 course taster. They were able to accommodate my gluten free needs with ease and we enjoyed 4 hrs of pampering eating outside with exceptional service from waiter Georgi. Chef/owner Todd came and checked on us at the beginning and end of our experience which made it all the more memorable for our family of four. Only remembered to take a few photos and some half way through eating, but every work of art was plated beautifully.

My husband and I agreed that this was the best meal we had in a long time. I started with the baked oysters, my husband had an eggplant parmesan salad, one of our friends had the artichokes a la romana and another the white bean truffle soup as appetizers. I had the mushroom wellington, my husband had the venison, one of our friends had the monkfish and the other the eggplant parmesan salad. We were all very happy with the food. As one of our party said, there are a lot of tasty vegetables in every plate, and he was right. Great food but we were not stuffed. I had the bananas foster bread pudding for dessert, which was fabulous. Also, a shout out to our waiter George, who was superb. We will return!

Service: 5/5. Attentive and kind. Ambiance: 4.5/5. A bit noisy from the people at the bar but otherwise nice. Food overall: 4/5 for the price. Portions were a healthy size, not too much or too little. White bean soup: 3.75/5. Needed salt. Really would've made this amazing. Otherwise a cozy, creamy, pleasant experience. Eggplant Parmesan with arugula salad: 4/5. Also needed salt. Would've been close to a 5. Otherwise nice crunch with fresh ingredients. Mushroom Wellington: 4.5/5. Probably my favorite dish of the evening. Flavorful with complimentary and interesting textures. Bacon wrapped Venison: 4.5/5. Second to the mushroom Wellington for me, though partner rated this as his favorite. Venison was tender and juicy. Puree and greens were a great compliment. Bread pudding: 4/5. Lovely presentation. Not too sweet.

Fell short of expectation for a special occasion plant-based Sunday brunch. To start, the advertised soup was not available. Although the substitute was tasty it was not what we had in mind and was served lukewarm. Our table was skipped over for the main meal and tried to serve us our pancakes. Had a 15 minute lull after finishing the salad and watched a party of 2 who was seated 15 minutes after us enjoy their main course. When main course finally served not even hot. Did add a birthday candle to the spice cake that was appreciated. Automatic 18% tip added to the $46 per person brunch. Didn't see anywhere that this was the procedure and put off by it. Maybe it's a local thing? We always tip 20% though so I guess their loss, not ours. Hate to give vegan minded restaurants anything but a 5 star but this experience was lacking.

The menu changes every week so thought is put into what is being served. The service is attentive. The chef visited our table to confirm food allergies and changed the food ingredients several times to accommodate. It can small/intimate or large group outing.

Amazing experience! Vegan and gluten free; our server George was absolutely incredible! Brought a special dessert just for us that meant our dietary requirements. So appreciative of the WAY above and beyond service. Thank you Equinox and George for an absolutely amazing evening. ?☺️

Such good plant based food!!

I had the plant-based pairing, which was perfect. Every dish was fresh and well prepared and the wine's complementary. And when I didn't care for one wine, I was offered another option. My daughter had the other chef's menu, and allowed two substitutions for dishes she didn't really want. VERY accommodating and attentive service. Our waitperson Gustavo was incredibly helpful, knew the menu and kitchen, and made the evening especially enjoyable with his attention, professionalism, and affability. A really wonderful night out! Plus we sat in front of fireplace on a cold rainy night. Kudos and thank you to Todd, Gustavo and the entire Equinox team!

Great Valentine's day experience (might not reflect the everyday dinner) - set menu with tasty dishes and good service despite the place was humming.I enjoyed the crab cake and the spinach gnocchi.The wagyu beef was a little disappointing, maybe slightly overcooked?Teriyaki eggplants also worth it.The banana bread pudding is a must have.Elefante locale, without multiplex rooms spacious but cozy.Services on point, good pace of courses.

Excellent plant based, unique menu. One of the first times I went for a vegetarian entree and it was delicious. I really enjoyed the Chanterelle and Trumpet Mushroom Wellington.
