ADVICE: Make sure to look at the restaurant week menu and don’t just go based on the restaurant. Usually there are no menu substitutions, so you want to make sure you like ALL the courses on the menu. Make sure you’re getting a good deal. Some of the restaurants already have daily lunch/brunch specials, so check out the restaurants that are giving you a good value for your dollar. Take advantage of drink discount specials offered at some restaurants (like Arbella) during restaurant week.
HAPPY EATING!!!
