We luckily picked a slow time, 6:00 PM on Wednesday. Service was prompt and courteous. Everything came on time and as requested. My chicken Milanese was done to perfection. The garlic bread was fresh and just toasted. My wife’s gnocchi with mushrooms was incredible. My picky teenage daughter ate every bit of her spaghetti and even the meatballs. Our guest ate all his spaghetti and chicken. Everything was made from scratch; nothing tasted premade.

2941 is not only one of the best restaurants in Falls Church, it is one of the best restaurants in the DMV. The food and service are both always beyond compare and last night was no exception. The Tuna Tartare appetizer is wonderful and our main courses--Ribeye and Duck--were both cooked to perfection. The only minor suggestion I would have relates to my Caesar Salad appetizer. It was more or less a deconstructed salad. While it was visually appealing and delicious, I prefer my salads (including Caesar) to be mixed. Our server (Julio) and his staff were great and the restaurant took pains to recognize our anniversary with a special menu and dessert. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
