Plant-Forward
Our conscientious approach demonstrates our commitment to an innovative and delicious plant-based menu. We strive to ensure that our supply chain is ethical, that our food is representative of the current season, and that it is sourced as locally as possible. This is not only good for you but also good for the planet.
Mid-Atlantic & Seasonal
We believe that food should be sourced based on the season. This practice is sustainable, natural, and deeply rooted. We value seasonal food procurement and have applied those principles to our menu. We are devoted to the diversity of our beautiful region and committed to foods grown locally.
Zero-Waste
We work on the principle that the consumer and the purveyor are responsible for engaging in environmentally ethical dining practices. Equinox Catering proudly strives for a zero-waste catering program. Join us in our mission to promote a healthier planet through responsible dining.

“We recently hosted an event at Equinox, it was a huge success thanks to the incredible team! Lauren was an absolute pleasure to work with—so professional and easygoing, making the planning process smooth and stress-free.
Chef Todd Gray went above and beyond, graciously allowing us to use the restaurant on a Sunday evening, and personally took the time to speak with our board, guests, and staff. The entire experience was fantastic, and we can't wait to return. Thank you all for making our event memorable!"
