I am so tired of pulling up most of these restaurant websites and not finding the Restaurant Week menu. What is up with that?
January 19th, 2009 at 8:04 am
Restaurant week is bullshit you could go to 80% of the places on it and not spend $35. The rest of them serve super small portions and shit protiens. Educate yourselves people.
January 19th, 2009 at 10:04 am
I agree restaurant week is useless..
January 19th, 2009 at 10:16 am
Yeah, I’m actually over Restaurant Week myself. After a few less than stellar experiences, when the food quality just didn’t seem up to par, I’ve decided to save my money for the real thing. I would much rather just go and pay full price for an entree at any of these places or take advantage of other prix fixe deals in town. (The Sunday dinner at Little Fish is definitely on my list).
Anyone have any other good prix fixe special suggestions?
January 26th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Cochon has its own prix fixe menu.
I’m pretty sure its all week long.
4 course for $35 and it’s BYOB.
I know Xochitl has a $35 prix fixe menu on Sundays as well.
