Restaurant Week in Boston this week: (repost)

Boston is having its semi-annual Restaurant Week, giving some very good deals on some restaurants if you know where to look. The Restaurant Week menus offer:
- 3 Course Lunch for $20.08
- 3 Course Dinner for $33.08
These deals are available at participating restaurants.

Restaurant week meals all include an appetizer, main course, and dessert. When you sit down at a participating restaurant, you must request the Restaurant Week Menu with limited selections. Some menus can be seen online here.

Sites which have Boston's Restaurant Week details and menus:
- Official Restaurant Week of Boston website. Click on "lunch" or "dinner" menus to view online.
- Unofficial Restaurant Week of Boston website, some menus posted there too.
- OpenTable.com complete list of restaurants participating in this season's Restaurant Week. Use that site to help find the best deals, by picking a restaurant labeled with 3 or 4 dollar-signs, signifying a meal is normally expensive there.
- RestaurantReview.com, another site showing participating restaurants.
Most restaurants give a restaurant week dinner that normally would cost $33, but the nicer places usually have the best deals around. Some places give a dinner which normally would cost $50 or $60 per person for the $33 restaurant week price. Examples of hot deals in Boston:
- Icarus - Dinner normally costs $45+ per person, so $33 for a 3 course meal is very good. Wine adds $10 more.
- Oishii in the South End - lunch only. Some of the best sushi in New England, and meals normally cost $30 to $60 per person.
- Smith & Wollensky - great steaks, in a castle. A 3-course lunch would normally cost around $30, and 3-course dinner around $50, so paying $20 for lunch or $33 for dinner is a hot deal. A glass of wine adds $10 more.
- Fleming's Steakhouse - great steaks. A 3-course dinner normally costs around $50.
- Davio's - very good pasta, great atmosphere, excellent service, but very limited Restaurant Week menu.
- Top of the Hub - Lunch only, good food and best view of the city. Their pricey food tastes average at best, but $20 for a 3-course lunch is still a great deal for the view.
- Sibling Rivalry - a fancy looking meal, great deal with lots of choices on their Restaurant Week menu. Their 3-course dinner would normally cost around $40, so $33 is a pretty good deal.
- Tangierino - great Moroccan food, good value for the price.
All participating restaurants should have busier crowds than normal, but reservations are not too difficult to get. Peak times can get a little crowded especially on a Friday night, but customers who show up after 8pm for dinner or after 1pm for lunch may have no wait.

Restaurant Week in Boston this week: Boston is having its semi-annual Restaurant Week this week and next week, giving some very good deals on some restaurants if you know where to look.

The Restaurant Week menus offer:
- 3 Course Lunch for $20.08
- 3 Course Dinner for $33.08
These deals are available at participating restaurants.

Restaurant week meals all include an appetizer, main course, and dessert. When you sit down at a participating restaurant, you must request the Restaurant Week Menu with limited selections. Some menus can be seen online here.

Unfortunately, lately most restaurants rather use Restaurant Week as a way to make a quick buck, rather than showcasing their best food at a discount. For example, some restaurants offer a Restaurant Week dinner selection which would normally would cost around $33 if you paid regular price on a regular evening, so their Restaurant Week menu selection priced at $33 really is nothing special. So be sure to check a restaurant's menu online before venturing out to find a great deal, because they may not have as good of a deal as you would expect.

Some restaurants not participating in Restaurant Week may have some promotions.
