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.

Deliciously healthy food and a contemporary atmosphere in a trendy neighborhood. Service was relaxed and professional, dinner was spectacular. I’ve been wanting to try True Food because I follow an influencer @flavcity who eats at the Boca location weekly. It looks so good. I can confirm it’s a delight!
