Folks from Firebrew Bar & Grill and The Stockpot Virginia Beach preview delish dishes from Virginia Beach Restaurant Week (DineInVB.com) which kicks off January 15.
It’s Restaurant Week season in Coastal Virginia, and indeed across the whole state.
We’ve got a complete list below.
Today kicks off Virginia Beach Restaurant Week (DineInVB.com), which runs through January 21.
But regardless of where you are celebrating this special time of year, there are some tips and tricks to make the most of dining out.
TIPS AND TRICKS
+ Know how it works: the menu offerings are prix fixe; breakfast, lunch and dinner have different prices.
These offer you a selection of dishes, but don’t typically include beverages, including bottled water.
Generally, tax and tip are also not figured in the price.
+ Go in with a game plan: look at the Restaurant Week website and individual restaurant websites to plan your meals out.
Pick a selection of restaurants that give you a good taste of the city or region.
+ Visit a favorite restaurant or two and try a dish that’s new to you.
Try a new restaurant or two that you’ve been wanting to visit.
+ Help out your local restaruant during this special week by ordering something extra in addition to the prix-fixe menu.
This could be an extra appetizer or dessert – or two – to share with the table, or a bottle of wine.
+ Be flexible with your selections; restaurants usually offer a number of choices per appetizer, entrée and dessert, so there should be something there to suit your palate.
If not, remember this is a special prix fixe menu and substitutions are usually not allowed.
+ Make reservations, and make them sooner rather than later.
+ Remember that your meal is discounted, and to tip your server generously when the check comes.
+ A three course dinner may be a bit much for someone; remember you can ask for a doggy bag for leftover appetizers, entrees, or dessert to enjoy later.
