Summer Restaurant Week
Summer Restaurant Week info is starting to flow across my desk. The dates this year will be July 26 through Aug. 3. Note that for the first time two weekends are included.
Restaurants are still signing up, but so far Abacrombie, Aldo's, Bicycle, Black Olive, Brightons, Brass Elephant, Da Mimmo, Ixia, Sotto Sopra and many others are on board -- some 90 in all. Here's the link to the Summer Restaurant Week Web site.
Menus aren't up yet; they should be posted on or around June 23.
Many places are offering specials in conjunction with the fixed price menu of $20.08 (two courses for lunch) and $30.08 (three courses for dinner). Here are some examples: ...
* The Black Olive will offer a red or white wine flights featuring three different Greek wine selections. The white wine flight will be $12, the red flight $15.
* Lucy’s Irish Pub & Restaurant will also offer wine pairings with the prix fixe dinner menu for an additional $12 per person.
* Brightons will offer a four-course tasting menu at $45 per person from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
* Each diner who visits Da Mimmo during Restaurant Week will receive a gift they can redeem on their next visit. The gifts range from a complimentary appetizer, a bottle of wine, or a $100 gift certificate.
