Tips for Getting the Most out of Washington Restaurant Week

Make reservations early, many of the most popular restaurants get booked up.

Read menus and reviews (see a partial list below). Restaurant Week is a good deal at the priciest restaurants. Some restaurants offer pre-fixed menus all the time, so specials during this week may not offer as big a savings.

Be aware that not all restaurants participating in Washington Restaurant Week offer the promotional menu at both meals. When you make your reservation, you should confirm with the restaurant that they are participating in Restaurant Week.

When making a reservation, ask about the Restaurant Week promotion dates. A number of restaurants continue the promotion an extra week. You may be better off visiting those restaurants during the second week. Below is a list of restaurants that I know are extending Restaurant Week. There are probably more.

Share your experience. Submit a Restaurant Review of a Washington, DC area restaurant.
