Bayside Restaurant Announces - "Every Week is Restaurant Week"

In a day and age when the increase in the minimum wage and overall food costs are spiraling, one restaurant is going against the tide and offering guests a value-oriented fine dining experience to a greater segment of the public. The critically acclaimed Bayside in Newport Beach is introducing an "Every Week is Restaurant Week" menu where lunch guests may order their choice of 3-courses for $25 - the price offered during its Restaurant Week promotions, announced owner Marc Ghoukassian.

"During Restaurant Week, we see so many new guests who tell us how grateful they are to be able to enjoy a fine dining experience without having to break the bank," said Ghoukassian. "To make eating out more accessible to a larger segment of the dining public, we decided to introduce the same menu we offer during various Restaurant Weeks but on a daily basis.

"While most restaurants are raising their prices because costs have been rising precipitously, we're going against the tide," he continued.
Among the initial offerings:
