Equinox Review
Virginia-born chef-owner Todd Gray looks to area purveyors for hard-to-find heirloom and local foodstuffs at his low-key American eatery. The furnishings and the food are simple and elegant, rebounding nicely following a 2009 fire that destroyed part of the kitchen. The fresh ingredients speak for themselves: grilled lamb rib eye with a puree of local Blue Ridge chestnuts, roasted black bass with baby carrots and clams, and simply sautéed oysters from the nearby Rappahannock River. Wine pairings are available for an extra fee, and an à la carte menu ($$) is available at lunch, led by a fresh vegetable platter that is can't-miss for meat avoiders.
