At the beginning of this year, 2941 transformed from a special occasions French prix fixe to a more casual, French and Mediterranean restaurant. It’s rebirth should be commended.

An eggplant morphs into something so supple and rich, you might swear off pork belly.

Even though a lobster bisque lacks any flesh, the crustacean can be tasted throughout a light broth that manages to feel creamy too.

Gnocchi takes on the consistency of delicate, whipped mashed potatoes.

Custard is probably not the right venue for spinach, but the exploit is worthy in the attempt.

What you’ll find on the plate is almost always beautiful.

MUST TRY: Gnocchi

Valentine’s Day unfolds in late summer as cubes of pink tuna and magenta beets fit together Tetris-style. The dish is one of many on Brabo’s rotating tasting menu, a concept previously reserved for holidays but now offered nightly.

Zucchini blossoms, almost always stuffed with cheese and fried, go rogue melting into burrata-blessed saucy pasta. Swordfish cooks up so meaty it’s a wonder it comes from the sea and an olive emulsion coats the bottom of its plate, rivaling hummus’ creamy-factor.
