This month's tasting menu was absolutely fantastic. I love the new robust fall flavors that are showing up and each dish got better and better. The meat was all cooked to perfection. The sauces and flavors went impeccably together. Major kudos to the chef and for the extra seaweed crisps. Thank you again! It was so nice having our favorite server Jean-Marc back. It really made an outstanding experience. Love this place!

Everything, from the cocktails and service at the bar, outdoor seating near the sounds of the waterfall and peaceful view, presentation and flavors of each dish (steak tartare, soft shell crab, fennel raviolini with butter poached lobster and the best duck breast I have ever tasted), contributed to a memorable evening celebrating our birthdays. Thank you!

Been going to 2941 for many years, and again last week. It remains our top choice for upscale lunching or dining in the DC area even though we don't live around DC anymore and drove down from Delaware. Four of us enjoyed either the five-course tasting or a la carte choices, each of which was delicious and faultless. A lobster ravioli stands out, as does the scallop carpaccio, veal cheeks, and a great fig dessert. We love that the menu changes with the seasons. We find prices reasonable for the kinds of offerings available. Add to that the impeccable service and a nice not-too-noisy room, it's a winning combination every time.

Fabulous food in a casual setting. Excellent service. Chef’s tasting menu is pricey but delicious. Wait staff is top notch. Wine choices are excellent and costly. The view of the lake is outstanding. Diners should request a table by the window to maximize privacy.

The fruits de mer was superb, best sea bass I've eaten recently. The desserts are playful, creative, and tasty. Tomato salad with ramps and goat cheese was delicious. Non-alcoholic drink with grapefruit soda and a SURPRISE bubble was festive and refreshing. Noise level was TOO high. A large group sat near us and was incredibly noisy. Beautiful surroundings with early evening view of lake Need to work on parking. Self park adjacent to restaurant is small, was filled with guests of a wedding party. Valet parking unavailable, not offered. Quite a hike from garage parking and NO instructions that spaces marked reserved for valet parking could be taken. We were celebrating a birthday and we very much enjoyed the meal.

Dinner was fabulous! I ate with 2 friends & we all agreed. Every appetizer, entree & dessert was amazing. I ate at a restaurant with a Michelin starred chef the night before & that meal paled in comparison to this meal! The service was very good as well - knowledgeable, friendly, just right. Go to 2941! You won’t regret it.

Appetizers were 5 star, especially the "Hamachi Steak Tartare"; the pistachio-based dessert was, likewise, 5 stars. The Fruits de Mer suffered from an overcooked prawn and over non-clam stuffed cherrystone, although the stuffing would have made many New Englanders reminisce about "stuffies" -- and the purple spuds were outstanding. Overall, well worth the price.

I've lived in northern Virginia for 2 decades now and been fortunate enough to dine at 2941 several times. It's an institution. DC has no shortage of fancy high-end restaurants, but in northern Virginia, 2941 is truly a special gem. As always, the food was prepared with great care and precision. Beautiful plates. My spouse enjoyed delicious duck with broccolini while I got to enjoy a perfectly prepared piece of salmon. The skin was incredibly crispy while the rest of the fish was wonderfully tender. Dessert was a big hit as well. Great job by the pastry chef to make some beautiful, tasty plates. This is all in a beautiful dining room, and not too loud like some places are so that conversation between the four of us was easy and not fighting against the din of a noisy restaurant. What really tied every part of the experience together was the service. I've been lucky to have great food from many different restaurants in my life, but front of house can really set the experience apart in a way that can make or break the overall perceived customer experience. Our server was Michael, and he showed that fine dining service doesn't have to be stuffy. It can be warm and engaging and still deliver a fine dining feel. Michael took the care to tell us about the dishes that he brought, and when we struggled to make choices for what we would eat, you could tell he really knew the menu and loved it. The young man who bussed our table tonight was an efficient machine. Having worked for many years in hotels, I know the best ones have an ability to make the customers feel cared for and Michael and his busser did that for our table. It was wonderful to have a meal where every component of the experience, from the food to the drinks to the service was executed so well. I hope others get the chance to feel as cared for as my family and I did during my meal there. Thank you 2941 team!

elegant, spacious, good food, decent pricing and wonderful service...all on the ground level of a mundane office building development, right next to 495. Apparently it is popular for events because it very instagram-worthy due to nicely done outdoor areas, with small waterfall, a pond etc. But as a stand alone restaurant for a nice dinner, or a date night it is also worth going. Only suggestion I would have is to offer some live music...there is lots of space they can definitely fit it in.

Excellent service and food. However, it is very loud inside - hard to hear each other and the server-and this was on a weeknight. I think the restaurant would be even better if the noise could be dampened. The server we had was wonderful: answered our questions, explained the food and wine, and introduced the dishes as they arrived (described what they were & how they were prepared).

I have dined at 2941 for the last 15 years or more and have found the quality of their food and services gradually increasing and very reliable. Chef Bertrand Chemel, his sous-chefs and (new) pastry chef keep expectations high and continue their quest for regular culinary surprises. The people serving in the restaurant know me and are very friendly, especially after my (super gourmet and gourmand) husband passed away earlier this year.

The restaurant was gorgeous. The staff was excellent, just the right amount of solicitous without hovering. The first course with the Heirloom Tomato Salad was amazing. The second course of Salmon was only okay. The salmon was undercooked for my taste, and unseasoned or not seasoned enough in my opinion. The mushroom and zucchini sauce it was sitting on top of was very good. The dessert course was disappointing - I had the strawberry and pistachio combo. The pistachio mounds had an unusual aftertaste that I didn’t care for, the strawberry gelatin mound was good as was the ice cream with the cookie crumble underneath it that was presented with the desert combo.

First timer—really enjoyed the restaurant week dinner. Ate in the small dining room looking on to the koi pond. I liked the smaller, quieter room vs the larger dining area. The ambience was great. The food was delicious, and our waiter was professional, fun and knowledgeable. Delicious cocktails and dinner—interesting and unique presentations. Looking forward to my next visit!!! Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Wonderful restaurant! The food is exquisite ! The Chef Bertrand Chemel deserves 6 stars, his innovation in food goes beyond anything I have seen and tasted around here! I felt so good after eating there! I regret that the Gault & Millau, the french restaurant guide, doesn't come to the United States because the Chef deserves to be known and to be in their guide! The service is very good, the waiter explains every thing and leads you. The restaurant is beautiful and the scenery is worth the detour too! It's worth trying this restaurant!!! And worth going back ! I enjoy everything about this restaurant, decor, atmosphere, food..
