. . . for Boston's Restaurant Week! Each year in March and August Boston's finest dining establishments welcome in the masses with special, discounted, three course, prix fixe menus for both lunch and dinner allowing patrons who perhaps normally wouldn't visit their restaurant to enjoy the upscale experience.
I absolutely LOVE Restaurant Week. Along with awards season, its my most favorite time of the year. I have enjoyed countless meals at locations I typically wouldn't be able to afford during Restaurant Week promotions. To date I have dined during Restaurant Week at: Ciao Bella on Newbury Street, Harvest, Upstairs on the Square and ZSquare (now closed) in Cambridge, Brasserie Jo at the Colonnade hotel, Toscano in Beacon Hill, Sel de la Terre on the Waterfront, The Beehive in the South End (read the review here), Ristorante Olivio and Flora (read the review here) in Arlington, and the Metropolitan Club in Newton.
For the March cycle this year the dates are March 14 - 19 and March 21 - 26. Take a look at my favorite Restaurant Week website "The Insider's Guide to Boston Restaurant Week" for a list of participating restaurants, their lunch and dinner menus, as well as a direct link to Open Table to make a reservation!
Grab your fork and get excited!
