2941 offers a $20 prix fixe lunch menu which allows you to try out three things. There aren't many choices (usually two appetizer options, three entree options, two dessert options), but it's not bad for a restaurant that was recently highly ranked by the Washingtonian. Unfortunately, the combination of food and service made it an experience I'm not looking forward to trying out again anytime soon.
2941's in its own little hidden area, and its surroundings are just plain gorgeous. A good start.
Me--Sonia Rykiel Rhinestone Vest Design Sweater (LOVED how sparkly and special this sweater is!)
After we're seated, we realize we've got a plain unfriendly waiter. No pleasantries. We're just another stop on his assembly line of unhappy patrons.
The bread is actually fresh and delicious. And the butter is soft and yummy. Unfortunately, it took about twenty minutes to come out. Our waiter hasn't been paying any attention to us.
Yes, that's a Nation LTD tee peaking out and some of you have asked--my two daily wear earrings right now are both Tiffany & Co.--small hoop with diamonds and star with diamonds (i highly recommend not because of the name as I don't even consider myself a Tiffany & Co. fan so much cos of their designs but cos of the sparkle and quality of their diamonds)
WILD MUSHROOM VELOUTÉ
fricassée of mushroom
The Mushroom Veloutte was a simple soup, but pretty good. At this point, we notice our waiter, who's been ignoring us for the most part, become chummy chummy with the next table because they ordered a bottle of wine. Suddenly, he seems to have remembered what service is -- probably because he realizes he's in for a tip with the two gentlemen in suits. Unfortunately, he has short term memory loss, and when he scampers over to our table, he takes away our plates without saying a word.
ATLANTIC FLUKE
Andouille sausage, shrimp, polenta, frisée salad
HANDMADE POTATO GNOCCHI
sweet crab, tangerine, Parmesan
Two sad, sad looking entrees. We spent the first 5 minutes trying to flag down our waiter to get a refill for my coke.
I think we were overall just disrespected because we look young. But it's little excuse.
BANANA CARAMEL TART
brown butter ice cream, english toffee
TROPICAL FRUIT PANNA COTTA
cardamom meringue, passion fruit coulis
As we popped the Caramel Popcorn while discussing whether we wanted to tip $0 and run out of there, we did agree on one thing. We won't be coming back to 2941!!
