TIALW is the best in the region. 2941 has been up and down since it was sold. Currently a disappointment. I hear former chef Jonathan Krimm is opening a new place in Tysons.

Thanks for posting the article, JEK. It brought back some fond memories of the one time we have had the opportunity to dine there.

Actually, the new chef at 2941, Bertrand Chemel, is quite good. We had several excellent meals there for dinner and I eat businesses lunches there about once a week. When were you last there?

The last time I was there was this past November when the guest chef (from NYC - forgot his name) created a great meal - equal or better than Jonathan's. However, my wife was there this past weekend and reported well-prepared but small portions, stuffiness, and no cotton candy! She brought back some of the bread and it is definitely pedestrian compared to what Jonathan's father made.

We had our anniversary dinner there (two weeks ago) and it was great and Chef gave us a tour of the kitchen at the end of the evening. The cotton candy was all Kring and he couldn't continue that tradition. I hear he lost backers and can't find a place in Tysons.
