2941

[Anonymous]

Somebody please explain what I'm missing with 2941. I've been there five or six times now over the years, and I have never loved it. Of course it's not bad -- all of the food is very good. I just don't love it and would pretty much always prefer somewhere else -- there are plenty of options in the DMV that I'd prefer. Clearly I'm missing something, as everyone who knows food thinks it's amazing, and it just got a James Beard Outstanding Restaurant nomination for 2024.

I love food. I love fine dining. I love restaurants. I live in Falls Church so 2941 is very convenient.

What am I missing???

Please tell us where you love to go regularly.

Food is good but not great. It’s pretty pricey for good food. I don’t go often either.

Newly in love with Ellie Bird (we can walk there). Also newly in love with Pineapple & Pearls. For special occasions I often like French: L'Auberge Chez Francois or Le Diplomate. I love Lutèce. I've loved the two dinners I've had at The Inn at Little Washington. Also in Falls Church is Thompson Italian, which I enjoy (probably better than 2941) but I don't get the hype about it, either tbh. I love Indian food and used to do Haandi a lot, but it isn't what it was so I'll go into DC for Rasika. Ugh, I guess I'm all over the place with this?

I don’t think it’s that great either. It’s fine, like I am perfectly happy to eat there if it was a business dinner or something but not on my own dime. I do love the space and think it’s excellent for special events and that the food is better than typical wedding/bar mitzvah food so it’s great for that purpose.

+1

Special events only, and even then about once every other year, at most. The food and atmosphere used to be better.

We have similar taste, you may also like Café Coline and Pirouette, both in Arlington.
