Silicon Valley Restaurant Week Kicks off in Mountain View

Five local restaurants hope to impress with some of their best dishes at a fraction of the price.

Scott’s Seafood Mountain View will join other Silicon Valley restaurants this to kick off Silicon Valley Restaurant Week (SVRW).

Patrons of SVRW will have the opportunity to eat from a three course pre-fixed menu that includes a starter, entrée and dessert. Meal costs range from $25 to $75 and reservations are highly recommended. The week-long event aims to build a new customer base for restaurants while also thanking loyal customers with the more affordable prices.

Scott's Seafood Mountain View will charge customers $35 for their choice of clam chowder or watermelon salad for a first course. For the second course, a choice of swordfish, stripe bass, or prawns is offered. Patrons can choose from strawberry shortcake or white and dark chocolate mousse cake for dessert.
