Celebrating its ninth year, chefs at some of Seattle and the Eastside’s finest restaurants are springing into action for Dine Around Seattle during the month of March.
All month long in March, Sundays through Thursdays, participating restaurants will be offering prix-fixe dinners for $30.00 and many will also offer prix-fixe lunches for $15.00. (This price will not include beverage, tax or gratuity, and excludes Sunday Brunch).
Each restaurant will decide whether they will offer lunch, dinner or both, but all meals will offer 3 courses with choice selections among appetizers, entrées and desserts. Visit www.dinearoundseattle.org for the entire scoop.
