crackers Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Because it's never too early to plan your summer escape from the city, this summer's Restaurant Week has been slated for August 14-20: three-course lunch $20.06 and dinner for $30.06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctay122 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I Ricchi's website shows restaurant week 31 July - 5 Aug 2006. Can anyone confirm? I always prefer to make reservations early! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baccala Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 again , Is Restaurant week really worth the effort ? We did it a couple of times at some nicer places and found that what was being serverd was not on their usual and felt like it was more to get people in the door. I would assume pay full price and get their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Johnston Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Well...since it is getting close to RW, I thought we could open a new thread. Open Table has opening still at many places that participated last January. Link here for participating resturants after July 21. http://www.washington.org/restaurantwk/ I need help here... I work downtown during the day and am kidless that week. Who has had great experiences during RW? Which meal (Lunch or Dinner?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdl Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Had a lovely dinner at 1789 during the last RW. Alas, it appears that they're not participating this summer. Vidalia also rocked the house last time out. Ditto Corduroy. Galileo, not so much. Georgia Brown's was just aight. Oh, and I had a very good lunch at Rasika. I think I gained about 10 pounds that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Foodie Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I had a so-so dinner at Butterfield 9 a couple years ago during RW, but it was a while ago. Corduroy does really well for dinners. Had a great lunch at Tabard Inn in January. Notti Bianche was delicious for dinner (hope it won't be too sad without Danny!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundae in the Park Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I love going out to Colvin Run Tavern for RW. I went last January, and they made up a new menu so everything on it is included in the RW special. The menu has a wide variety of choices for each course (5 or 6, I believe), so you aren't limited at all, and everything I had was wonderful.

Pat Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I had not really paid attention to this thread, but seeing the dates now I realize why Open Table yesterday showed nothing at Vidalia between 5:30 and 8:15 on the 20th. It's my birthday and I thought it would be great to go to Vidalia, since we haven't been there in quite a while. Fortunately, I was able to get a table at a good time by calling on the phone. (Checking OT now, I see they have nothing before 9 PM on the 20th.) Hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demandalicious Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 So far, I've got reservations at: DC Coast and Corduroy for lunch, as well as Viridian for dinner. If I can find time during that week, I'd also like to try Rasika. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treznor Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I went to Colvin Run last RW and didn't think it was all that I thought it was going to be cracked up to be. It was good, just not great on the night I went. It's the only time I've been and with so many other wonderful restaurants around haven't really had a reason to go back.

New Foodie Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I think right now I'm doing Acadiana for dinner, Corduroy for lunch, and then perhaps either Agraria or Rasika for dinner as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio Burrell Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 for those that are curious, I have decided to offer the entire menu for restaurant week (app, main,dessert) with no upcharges/supplementals. The menu we will be doing is also not a "restaurant week only" menu as it will be exactly the same as the menu I'm putting in on August 1st. So I hope that for all of you who haven't given us an opportunity to feed you some good food, I encourage you to come try us for restaurant week, and if you can't wait that long, come on tuesday and check it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdt Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Why does it seem that I am always away during RW? Anyway I am able to dine on the weekend and will be going to Viridian, Mendocino, and Vidalia (If I don't get there sooner). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheezepowder Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I haven't been to Butterfield 9 for Restaurant Week, but passing along this info: They are having a Pre-restaurant week dinner special from August 7th – August 13th and "double restaurant week" for lunch and dinner from August 14th – August 27th.

Demvtr Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Oya is apparently kicking things off early and then drawing Restaurant Week out. I just checked Oya's web site, and their RW specials ($20.06 lunch, $30.06 dinner) started yesterday (8.1.06) and will continue through 9.9.06. I had a fantastic dinner there in June; I'm curious what they are offering on the Restaurant Week menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Johnston Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I had dinner last night at the Baltimore -Prime Rib, they extended their Restaurant Week special for the entire month and have relaxed their jacket policy.

Demvtr Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I did a series of complex mathematical calculations with my abacus and all ten fingers, and decided that there is no way in hell I can run off seven straight nights of three-course meals. I am therefore canceling two Restaurant Week reservations: Wednesday (8/16): Kinkead's, party of 4, 8 p.m. Thursday (8/17): Oya, party of 4, 8 p.m. Both times/group sizes are currently unavailable on OpenTable.
