Great Escape: Restaurant Week

Is there a downtown restaurant you’ve always wanted to try but were leery of the expense? Well, you’re in luck. You can enjoy a prix fixe dinner at a number of restaurants participating in this year’s Restaurant Week.

Running Sunday March 6 through Friday March 11, and again March 13 through the 18th, participating restaurants are offering a three-course dinner for $33.11. The Capital Grille, Davios, Mistral, Morton’s, Upstairs on the Square, and Rialto are just some of the restaurants on this year's list. There are also restaurants offering a fixed price lunch menu as well. A two-course lunch is offered for $15.11 and a two-course lunch for $20.11.

Before you go, plan your night out with the help of The Insider’s Guide to Boston Restaurant Week. On this website, you’ll find listings of all participating restaurants, the menus they are offering, and you may also be able to make reservations via the OpenTable.com online reservation system (reservations are definitely recommended).

Closer to home, Taste Quincy is hosting a restaurant week of its own. Running March 6 through the 11, participating restaurants feature fixed price lunch and dinner menus. Among the restaurants offering the Dinner for Two for $20 are Granite Street Café, The Half Door Pub, and La Paloma. Restaurants offering the Dinner for Two for $30 menu include Common Market, Port 305, The Villa Rosa, and Siro’s among others. A number of restaurants are also offering lunch menus for two for $10 and $20. 

Taste Quincy also features the Dine & Save program, which offers discounted gift certificates ($25 value for $15) for restaurants in Quincy. Check often for new restaurants and replenished stocks.
