Reservations Are Open For Annapolis Restaurant Week

Downtown Annapolis Partnership is preparing for Annapolis Restaurant Week from February 24 to March 3. This dining event will be hosted at some of the best restaurants in downtown Annapolis and the surrounding areas, including Severna Park, Eastport, Forest Drive and Parole.

Restaurants will offer special fixed-price menus featuring two-course breakfasts, two-course lunches and three-course dinners. Patrons will find an array of cuisine: Italian, Asian, Central American, seafood, steak and all-American. Price ranges for breakfast are $9.95 to $15.95, lunch is $12.95 to $19.95, and dinner is $29.95 to $39.95. Plus, some locations have bonus menu items and specials, which may include half-price bottles of wine, discounted appetizers or specialty drinks.

Several restaurants are offering wine bottle specials during the week. Diners can save 30% to 50% on bottles of wine at select locations during the middle of the week.

For those wanting to bring larger groups, select restaurants offer private and semi-private dining rooms for larger groups of friends and family. These spaces are limited in select restaurants and need to be reserved in advance. The Annapolis Restaurant Week website lists which restaurants have private or semi-private dining rooms as options.

"Annapolis is lucky to have so many great dining options that the area has become a foodie destination,” said Matt Schatzle, chairman of the Downtown Annapolis Partnership. “New restaurants continue to open in the Annapolis area as a testament to this area becoming a foodie destination. The event has a strong local following with over 54,000 people visiting the website last year to see the menus of participating restaurants. We get visitors from the Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia areas that return to Annapolis every year for restaurant week."

Social media pages for both the Downtown Annapolis Partnership and Annapolis Restaurant Week will keep diners aware of contests, giving them chances to win gift cards from restaurants.
