2941 Restaurant

Soaring ceilings, a woodsy lakeside location, and a koi pond make this one of the most striking dining rooms in the area. Jonathan Krinn's playful cooking continually surprises with plates like roasted veal tenderloin and sweetbreads with eggplant puree, truffled free range chicken, a deconstructed "creamsicle" of orange sorbet and Tahitian vanilla ice cream, and little gifts from the kitchen like rainbow-hued housemade cotton candy. It's a family affair, too. Krinn's dad makes the artisanal breads that run from rosemary olive to cherry almond. You can order à la carte, go for the bargain pretheater menu (three courses for $45), or splurge on one of the tasting menus ranging from $75 to $110.
