Yes. Emphatically yes to 2941. It took DC Restaurant Week to drag us out there in 01/10. An el cheapo lunch it could have been from the bill, but, unlike some others we tried in the District during Restaurant Week, 2941 didn't cap costs by going heavy on the carbs, treating thrilled diners like bottom-feeders or Filene's sale shoppers w/coupons. Gorgeous minimalist wintry setting with soaring windows, a velvety butternut squash soup that was exquisite, perfectly cooked fish and a delicious dessert in which crumbled poppy seed shortbread was the surprising and witty keynote. Yes, the chef's sensibility tracks directly back to Daniel Boulud, and yes, the sommelier's recommendations were excellent--even for just a glass. Our best of 5 tried during that week.
