We go to 2941 for many of our special celebrations and we are never disappointed. The food is excellent, the service is impeccable, and the sommeliers are incredible (really, ask them anything about any of the wines). We both had the chef's tasting with the wine pairing and were perfectly satiated at the end. The portions are on-point. We told our waiter the occasion we were celebrating and anyone who visited our table expressed congratulations and brought an extra special complimentary dessert at the end. We had a 7:00 reservation and arrived a bit early so we were able to watch the ducks come back to the pond as the gloaming fell and it was kinda magical. We'll definitely be back.

Exquisite food, exceptional service, and a great environment make this one of my favorite restaurants in the D.C. area. My oysters were scrumptious, enjoyed with the most perfect cocktail sauce I have tasted. The lamb was cooked to perfection, as were the plates enjoyed by my family. And since we couldn't choose and there were five of us, we got one dessert each and shared them all... ending our night in gastronomical delight!

The experience was so wonderful I chose not to take photos so my wife volunteered. 3 out of 4 had the tasting menu with the wine pairings. The 2 assistant sommeliers were both fantastic at describing each selection. The head Som James was truly great at his craft. And to say the wines were perfectly paired with each dish is an understatement. Service at every turn was spot on. Michael was outstanding! The flavors for every dish were subtle and vibrant simultaneously. Such a great wine list also.... I think this is now my favorite restaurant in Northern Virginia!

Super pretty location and the ambience was very pleasant. We tried the tasting menu, and our waiter was incredibly nice and explained every course very thoroughly. The seafood courses were definitely my favorite, while some of the vegetarian courses were a little underwhelming by comparison. It definitely is on the pricier side, but the quality of food was great.

(4.25) ~ Very good Overall food & Service. NOTE: Park on the 2nd level then take the covered walkway to the other building w. the restaurant. Then take the elevator to B1 and the Restaurant will be to the Right at the end of the hallway. DRINKS: ** Water (tap) = (4) very good, must be filtered;) * Coffee = (3.75) Good, but I miss the French Press... FOOD: ** Butternut Squash Veloute = (4.5) Very Tasty! ** Cheese Course = (4.25) Very good ** Paloma = (4.25) Very good ** Bread & Butter (free) = (4) very good ** Lobster Ravioli = (4) very good

This spot is everything. The ambiance was everything, the food was pretty good the service was great. However my steak was cooked well done which made it taste like roast beef. I initially asked for medium well. The dessert was good and the lobster bisque was filled with big chunks of meat. I would probably visit again.

This is an upcale place. Very nice and pleasant set up. You can choose either three, or five course meal or a la carte. It's expensive restaurant but the food quality is very high, exquisite quality. French chef with fine training. Food was balanced in flavor and indulging in taste.Service was good, but my only comment probably would be that there was some rushing into ordering. There was feeling of obligation instead of full relaxing time. We chose to order from a la carte, but still would like some more relaxed setting with longer transition between meals. We still had Appetizers not done when main food was brought out. In such expensive places I expect that service to be more attentive on timing and make transition to the next course smooth and relaxing for customer. I would like to finish my first course before the next comes. Also, at the end our shared food was taken away as soon as our main course.was done. We were yet conversing and not ready to go yet. But they quickly brought desserts book out and felt rather a must to get the dessert, which I planned not to have due to late hour. Oh well, can't complain, it was tasty. The bill was brought out right away after dessert, no waiting, and picked up so quickly after paying, did not wait till we leave.Service in general was good, friendly but more rushed than ought to be in such upscale place.
Just attended a meeting of about a 100 physicians at this restaurant. 10 people squeezed in each round table meant for 8. Soup was lukewarm. Some water glasses were replenished, many were not, including mine. Waiters were awkward. Pasta was average. Choice of chocolate cake vs a mango cheesecake. Someone asked for chocolate cake at my table. Was told that there were 5 chocolate & 5 mango desserts for each table, & no more chocolate dessert. The waitress sounded like an air hostess scolding an economy class passenger. Truly an economy class experience for the price of first class. These people do not know the art of providing fine dining or service.
We did the 3 course menu. I had the burrata for an appetizer, the goat cheese ravioli for a main course, and the pineapple mojito for a dessert. I thought the goat cheese ravioli was not particularly good. It was very thin - so thin it felt like there was no filling in the raviolis. Even though the dish had a mountain of these purple ravioli (a big dish by fancy dinner standards) I would not have felt full by the end of eating them. But I did not make it through the ravioli, they were bland - and I did not want to finish the entire dish. The burrata was good but also bland. The best part of the dish was the pineapple mojito dessert - but it wasnt anything particularly special. At the end of the night the server asked us if we would like any coffee with dessert, and he did not wait for me to answer. My husband said "no thank you" and he walked off without looking at me. Had he waited.. I probably would have gotten coffee. Overall the experience was just too expensive for what it was. We will not be back.
Great service and atmosphere. Interesting location in a office building that's not out in the open. It has a nice secluded feel.My friend loved her filet mignon which was the special. She also enjoyed the wagyu tartare (sorry no pics).The best part of my meal was the 0-alcholic beverage. A sweeter version of the grapefruit drink.The ceasar salad wasn't anything special. I didn't expect it to be. Nonetheless, it was good. The Madeira-Mushroom Raviolini was fine in flavor. The problem was it sat in a bowl of oil. I had to pull the peices out on the side of the bowl to dry out. The complimentary coconut macaroon was a perfect end. I'll go back when the menu changes to see what else they can do.Parking: Small open lot. Better off going to the garage.

Incredible experience. Went here with a friend for a special night out. Ordered the crispy calamari, crescent duck breast, and (with the recommendation of our server) espresso martini. Everything tasted incredible and service was above and beyond. Highly recommend this place for a nice splurge and/or special occasion.Parking: Park on the second level of the garage and then walk inside the building. Take the elevator (inside the building, not the elevator in the garage) to level B1 to get to the restaurant.

As a first timer, I am impressed with the atmosphere, the welcoming staff, excellent service (thank you, Adris!), the high quality food, and aromatic teas! I was so quick to enjoy my food, wine and beverage that I have no photos, but I do have a very clear memory! And everything about this restaurant speaks QUALITY. Highly recommend to locals and travelers equally. I will most certainly place this in my Favorites shortlist!! Thank you.
