It’s baaaaack!!  Even with all the exciting events that happen around San Diego; “Restaurant Week” is no doubtably one of my personal favorites.  With over 180 restaurants all over the county offering 3-course menus for $20, $30, or $40 it’s the perfect time to check out a new spot or go to that restaurant you love so much, but don’t particularly love the price of!

If you’re planning on going, don’t expect to walk into the participating restaurants on a Friday night and be able to get a table though… this event is wildly popular with San Diegans which means that at least the most expensive [regularly priced] and most popular places will be booked solid.  Never fear though, if you’re coming in from out of town you can check out the website at www.sandiegorestaurantweek.com for a list of all the participating restaurants as well as links to make reservations online!  Just be careful if you’re planning on going with a large party… I just made a reservation for my friends and I at Nobu via the Restaurant Week website where I discovered that parties of 6 or more require a credit card to hold the reservation and you are charged a “per-person fee” for everyone that doesn’t show up. 

One restaurant is putting an interesting new spin on Restaurant week this time around as well.  Harbor’s Edge at the Waterfront Sheraton Hotel has a $30 menu that showcases sustainable seafood!  They will also be showing a documentary called The End Of the Line during dining hours which explores the effects of overfishing.  What an awesome way to indulge in great food while learning about sustainable living!

Whether you’re a San Diego local, or visiting us from out of town, do yourself a favor and check this event out.  I promise you wont be disappointed!
