Best bang for your buck

Looking to take advantage of Restaurant Week’s fixed prices to nab a bit of a deal–while still helping out a great cause? Try one of these spots where, during a regular week, you could easily drop more than $25 (typical entrée prices in parenthesis).

  1. Julep’s Restaurant ($25 – 31)
  2. Chez Foushee ($24-36)
  3. Amuse Restaurant ($20-27)
  4. Millie’s Diner ($19-28)
  5. Acacia Mid-town ($18-29)

Out-of-the-box menus

Listen, there’s nothing wrong with crab cakes–some of my best friends are crab cakes. But sometimes you want something a little out of the box. Here are five Restaurant Week participants each with something a bit different on the menu.

  1. Tastebuds American Bistro
  2. Amuse Restaurant
  3. M Bistro
  4. Secco Wine Bar
  5. Chez Foushee

Got dietary restrictions?

Gluten-free? Vegan?1 No problem. A handful of this year’s restaurants offer meals for those of us who are meat, dairy, or gluten adverse.

  1. Amuse Restaurant
  2. India K’ Raja
  3. Helen’s
  4. Bistro Bobette
  5. Tobacco Company Restaurant

Bring your kids!

Sure, you probably aren’t going to drop $25 on a three-course meal for your toddler. But just because you’ve got offspring doesn’t mean you can’t participate in Restaurant Week. Here are some good options where you won’t feel totally out of place bringing your little(r) one along.

  1. Tarrant’s Cafe
  2. Water Coastal Kitchen
  3. Tobacco Company Restaurant
  4. Mosaic
