Just a red flag to me that they are trolling for business... I think a special occasion place shouldn't fall into that category. JMHO though.

Oh my word! A special occasion place (business) trolling for business! The nerve! JMHO though.
BTW Went to Trummers last month and it was just lovely.

Okay so, I'm taking DH to 2941 tomorrow night for our anniversary. I already made the reservations. Can anyone give me a heads up on any really good dishes? Also, do we have to dress up?

I didn't read through all of the posts, did anyone mention Bistro L'Hermitage in Occoquan? We love the food, service and ambiance there.

Yes, you need to dress up.
I would check out Yelp and Tripadvisor reviews for the particular dishes. There are reviews in the Post and Washingtonian, but I don't know how current they are.

Oh - no way.. special dinner? May as well go to any other chain like Chili's etc. so what if it's Italian- doesn't make it less common and frankly so so food.
