Excellent food, limited choices, fine wait staff, good noise level in nearly full restaurant for 7 p.m. dinner. The dish presentations were outstanding, real art work on some like the triple chocolate dessert.

We came to 2941 to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I dined here before during Restaurant Week and the food was fantastic. There was ample parking and we were warmly greeted upon arrival. We had the best server, Julio. He was so funny, gave great recommendations, and explained what our food was. Our food took awhile to arrive but they made up for it with some sparkling wine. We also enjoyed the dessert at the end. Thank you 2941 for making our anniversary dinner enjoyable and fun!

Was excellent from start to finish. Accommodated my reservation earlier as I am temporarily disabled. We mixed it up and got the Chefs Menu and the three course tasting menu. Every dish brought out was well executed, explosive with flavor and plated beautifully. Our server Julio did a great job as well. Wasn’t our first time and certainly will be back. Side bar: I never give 5 stars as there is always room to improve even from their excellence. OUTSTANDING

Another excellent meal at 2941 with outstanding service from Jean-Marc. From the a la carte menu, the salmon tartare was fresh and flavorful and the rib-eye was perfectly cooked. The tasting menu was very good too, a couple of the vegetarian items were fried which, for my wife, was more than she wanted at this warmer time of year. Still, the items were not greasy and were very tasty.

I was dining solo, and the attention from the staff was exceptional, as was the food. Although the restaurant was busy, the space between tables is perfect to keep the noise level to a minimum.

Bread placed on the table early in the meal is absolutely delicious. Be careful not to eat too much, or you will get full after the first course. Seafood, lamb, duck are wonderful choices. Wine selection is broad and accurately priced. Deserts are beautiful, delectable and artistic. Wait staff is pleasant, knowledgeable, accommodating. The atmosphere inside and outside is riveting. A wonderful place for a celebration as well as a comfortable dinner for two.

We often go to 2941 during Restaurant Week, for lunch, and on all special occasions for a fancy dinner. We often chose the Tasting Menu, like we did on Thursday May 19, with good friends, who urged us to take the wine-pairing: we had never taken wine-pairing, being afraid of mixing too many alcohols, but we loved it (the choices of wine are excellent!). It is a very innovative cuisine. I like the Vegetarian dishes as well, because you need to be more creative than with meat. When the combinations are reducing the delicacy of the main ingredient, we tell the maître-di about it. Excellent restaurant!

Nice place. Menu was thin and somewhat over priced. Our waiter was cheesy in his mannerisms (in our opinion) . We dine there regularly and will come back but this is the feedback from our most recent visit.

We had the 5-course tasting menu with wine pairing and everything well prepared and well presented. The wine pairings were perfectly selected and paired with the menu selections. We had a ball celebrating our Anniversary at this restaurant. We plan to return to try different seasonal tasting menus.

We had bar reservations and the hosts were able to accommodate us in the main dining room. The windows really brought the outside in, and despite soaring ceilings (which made everything airy) the room felt intimate. We did the tasting menu with one wine pairing that we split. Each dish was a surprise. And the wine was perfectly matched. The sommelier and our waiter were full of helpful knowledge and had a perfect understanding of when to come to the table and when to hold back. We look forward to returning!

Very beautiful location, wonderful staff, nice restaurant. We didn’t particularly enjoy the food/wine pairings as much as we’d hoped for spending a lot of money. We may try it again for the next menu offering, or for a 3 rather than 5 course meal perhaps. I do recommend that you visit this restaurant.

I rarely leave reviews so it’s with sadness and a bit of confusion that I’m I rating the service 1 star. It seems that there’s been a big turnover in the waitstaff over the past year and, even though I gave our server plenty of patience (assuming he was brand new), his basic service and hospitality standards were simply just.. bad. Which I still forgave. What was absolutely awful was his knowledge of the menu. My reservation note included that there would be a gluten free diner which we also made clear to him just in case. In regards to options he said “I THINK this is ok” far too often. He would “go ask” and say “no” but return later and say yes. Hopeful that prior to his delivery of desert menus - he’d anticipate more gluten free options - he was once again unprepared. The gluten free person will get very sick for multiple days and we had zero confidence in the information we were receiving. Meanwhile, the back waiters were absent - dry water glasses, cocktail and wine glassware from earlier in our meal left for the duration - even after pushed to the side of the table. I go to 2941 to relax and breath but this was somewhat of a stressful dinner - and a special occasion one as well. The food, however, was perfect - Chef Chemel, over these past almost two decades - has always solidified the reasoning to not go downtown for truly world class technique. I’m also happy about the current flow to recent years ebb on the Wine List. I will return.

We celebrated Mother's Day and a Birthday at 2741 in a private, glassed-in dining area. It was just right for us (my wife and I are hard of hearing and use hearing aids or cochlear implants. The open restaurant tends to be fairly noisy on busy days, so the private rooms are much appreciated when they are available. As always, wait staff are welcoming and attentive. Chef Chemel is wonderfully creative with his menus.

Mother's Day dinner 2022. Food was good, service was good, 3 course prix fixe menu was VERY overpriced at $100 each, and no a la carte option for the 85 yr old mothers with us who just cannot eat 3 courses. Despite my 2 quiet reminders to staff, the ladies room looked like a truck stop the whole 3 hours we were there, trash cans overflowing, empty toilet paper holders and red gel room deodorizers hooked to the grab bar at eye level in every commode stall (think urinal cake - WTF?). I've been a patron of 2941 for over 20 years. Beautiful, tranquil, sanctuary-esque setting with mature landscape and the enchanting koi pond. When Executive Chef Jon Krinn left in 2007, I still went mostly bc work functions were held there, but the food is always very good too. Then the decor changed dramatically--out with the white tablecloths and in with some really bad art and light fixtures. "Creating a less stuffy and more bistro feel". Whatever, it's ugly and really cheapened the ambiance. Also gone was the dress code apparently. T-shirts and shorts? Sure! Come on in. Make it more casual so more people will come? I don't know the strategy. So we still frequent the bar even tho the happy hour bar menu and truffle popcorn is no more (everything I'm describing here happened PRE COVID). The bartender, Adris (sp?) is great and as long as you stay in that part of the restaurant, you're golden. Since COVID, there is no longer valet parking, and no signs of it returning as it has everywhere else, so confusion abounds as people approach the 15 story office building with poor parking signage. I needed a table for 7 and that was difficult to find for Mother's Day, even 3 weeks in advance. 2941 had availability so I booked a 5pm slot and even guaranteed it with my credit card. I'll never return by choice for dinner there, much less for a special occasion. Sadly, the end of an era.

Although we have done pick up a couple of times, this is the first time we've enjoyed dining in at 2941 since before the pandemic. It was, as it has always been, a wonderful experience. We have not found better food or service anywhere in Northern Virginia.

Asthmatic and ambience are really nice. Service was okay, but nothing spectacular, it took our waiter 15 minutes to get to our table, which is kind of absurd for this kind of place. Pricey pre fixed menu was the only option and that’s okay, however we were served some appetizers still wrapped in cellophane, Its not really pleasant to find plastic in your mouth, especially at a ‘high end’ place like this. Overall it was an okay experience, but I don’t think that the food and service matched the value. I won’t be in any rush to return, there are far better places in the area.
