The B Side, our neighborhood joint situated next door to Red Apron at Mosaic, is an amalgamation of all the things we love the most: crazy good food prepared simply; way too many wines; stiff drinks made by pros who know how to make them; a mind-boggling beer list; killer tunes on the turntable and a scene that has no patience for pretense. This is B Side.

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.

The cocktails and beer selection were both top notch. The food was also really tasty with their own take on some pub dishes that raised the bar and elevated the experience. And it’s amazing inside. We will definitely go back regularly!

Great place, great location, great food & superb service! The only negative is that it’s a spec building so the acoustics are HORRIBLE! The super high open ceiling without any sound insulation makes it super loud. The one in Annapolis (Parole Town Center) doesn’t suffer from this poor acoustics problem. Delightful dinner experience - just needs sound work 😃
