SF Dine About Town - January 15-31, 2011

It's almost that time of year again! Thanks to Connie, I was reminded about San Francisco's annual Dine About Town event - January 15-31, 2011.

If you aren't familiar with it, it's San Francisco's way of getting us out to restaurants again now that the holidays are over and your wallet is strapped because of Christmas and New Year's expenditures. At participating restaurants, a two-course lunch runs for $17.95 and a three-course dinner for $34.95.

It's a good way to try out a restaurant that you might normally not go to out of the blue. However, a few words of caution - the prix fixe menu is nice if you don't want to be overwhelmed with options, but it's not always the bargain that you think it will be. While some restaurants do a great job of putting together a menu that gives value to the customer, there are often menus that don't seem worth the prix fixe price. Lastly, be sure to check for restrictions - some restaurants limit the days that the prix fixe is offered.

Bon apetit!
