Private Dining

Be our guest.

Since 1999, Equinox has been one of Washington, DC’s premier private dining and catering resources - elevating the standards for fine dining and catering in DC and beyond. Combining the superior culinary work of five-time James Beard Award-nominated Chef Todd Gray, and his partner event designer Ellen Kassoff, together they provide a futuristic vision for Equinox on 19th events.

Our events team specializes in rehearsal dinners, weddings, social and corporate events, and more. We strive to create harmonious celebrations that are sustainable, flexible, and seasonal, adapting to the ever-changing landscape of social gatherings.

The atmosphere at Equinox on 19th evokes a modern brasserie spirit in the heart of the city. The interior boasts a fireplace, a 40-seat bar, two pre-function reception areas, and two private dining rooms. The space has an upscale casual, crisp, modern atmosphere that firmly establishes a city chic decor.

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.
