4 reviews for 2900
I feel that the food scene leaves something to be desired for a city of El Paso's size but 2900 is a step in the right direction. The server was attentive and knowledgeable, the food was good, the decor was modern and the wine list was practically a chapter book!
Their menu changes monthly, but I had the carne a la plancha, calamari, paella risotto and amaretto creme brulee. All of the dishes were good, my favorites being the carne and creme brulee. I probably wouldn't order the paella risotto again, I was expecting something more like paella than risotto, but it was still good.
3 stars for the food.. 5 stars for the drinks
i came for drinks and appetizers on a thursday night.. although it was a little bit quiet for a "hot" el paso restaurant.. the decor is modern.. but they could improve the atmosphere by dimming the lights..
we sat at the bar.. although they are known for their extensive wine menu.. i ordered a couple drinks of single malt scotch.. my fiancee had a ginger lemon drop martini which she thought was quite good
as for the food.. we shared a plate of calamari and a seared tuna salad..
the fried calamari was soggy.. maybe it was single fried.. but it was pretty disappointing... the seared tuna salad was ok.. the slices of tuna were quite slim.. and the sauce it came with was disgustingly overpowering
overall.. i'd give them another chance for dinner (the cod looks promising).. but from what i've had for food.. i'm truly disappointed..
After searching for a restaurant that resembles what you would find in SF or Seattle I located 2900. I decided to take a leap of faith and try some "fine dining" in the Borderland region. I was enticed to try this restaurant do to its changing monthly menu and focus on fresh ingredients. My wife and I were excited by their endless, so it seemed, wine menu (I believe it was 24 pages long) and specialty cocktail list. We ordered our drinks and glanced at the menu. We decided to split a few small plates and then share a main dish since we were eating at 8:30pm. We ordered the grilled flatbread and carne a la plancha. Both were prepared well and were tasty. We then shared the paella risotto. It wasn't traditional paella, but it hit the spot. Overall our experience was great. We loved the industrial look of a split restaurant / lounge and you could look into the kitchen to watch the chefs prepare the meals. It was a nice place to eat and it was worth spending a few extra dollars. (Main dishes b/w $17-35 and small dishes b/w $8-13).
Worth the price. 2900 is a breath of fresh air in El Paso. Gourmet food with fresh ingredients and artistic presentations. The goat cheese gnocchi was divine. We are big fans of the Greenery, and Mark Heins does not disappoint with this high end incarnation of his vision.
