California Restaurant Month - January 2011

While I was thinking that it was just time for SF Dine About Town, with a little more investigation, I learned that it's California Restaurant Month. Organized by the California Travel and Tourism Commission, there are many cities and counties featuring specials at their local restaurants this month. San Francisco still remains the city with the most offerings, but whether you're heading north or south, there are a number of places you can try.

I'm admittedly amused by their positioning of the restaurants and respective locales - Northern California restaurants are being touted as those providing farm-to-table dining while San Francisco offers urban chic. For Los Angeles, they're suggesting you "slip into something slinky and head for the region's sexiest restaurants."

Marin County has a few places to check out including Rickey's in Novato.
Yountville and St. Helena are featuring Ad Hoc amongst others.

And of course, the list for San Francisco goes on and on.

While many are featuring an exceptional menu for an exceptional price, be watchful of restrictions for days of the week that the specials are being offered.
