We ate our Thanksgiving dinner at 2941 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Food was delicious and service was excellent. The fixed price of $110 per person made for an expensive family dinner which may not be the case for the a la carte menu, so we will have to see on another occasion if the price fits the food. Nonetheless we all enjoyed a fine Thanksgiving meal and recommend 2941 to anyone looking for a memorable occasion with delicious food in a lovely venue.

Another delightful Thanksgiving dinner at La Bise. It was a toss-up as to which starter was better: the roasted leeks with sauce beurre blanc or the pate de foie gras. The mains, turkey roulade and steak frites, were their usual excellent offerings. And the desserts, pumpkin mousse pie and carrot cake were decadent endings. The staff was attentive and willing to substitute sorbet for dessert for one of our group who (wisely) realized he'd be too full to enjoy cake or pie. We'll have to find an opportunity to return before next Thanksgiving!

We were very pleasantly surprised with what a gem of a dining experience this was. We selected mostly on location which was very convenient to our hotel. The staff were all very attentive. We had a gluten allergy diner and they not only suggested already gluten free meals but modified a meal (mussels) to be gluten free. They even carry GF bread. All of our meals were quite good from the grilled octopus starter to the Vanilla Napoleon dessert.

Green Pig Bistro is a great place to go for brunch. The food is great at a reasonable price point and the service was impeccable. Their new location is awesome being more centralized in Clarendon which will help bring in more customers. Highly recommend this spot to anyone in the DMV area looking for good brunch places.
