[Restaurant Week Popular Science]Restaurant Week is available everywhere, usually once every six months, participating merchants will launch a discount menu to encourage customers to spend.

advantage:Packages are generally launched at fixed prices and fixed dishes (generally 3-4 courses, each course will have several options); the degree of discount depends on different merchants. For example, Michelin restaurants and restaurants that originally had $$$$$ launched packages of $ 85 or even $ 45, which are very cost-effective and a great opportunity to taste high-end restaurants; or the usual $ 25 or $ 35 dinner at restaurants in $$$ is also worth trying .

Things to note:Many people may have unstable dishes and services; set meals are fixed and the degree of freedom is not high (this requires homework to be done in advance to study whether the merchant package includes the restaurant's signature dishes)

A few common questions:

Do I need to make a reservation for the restaurant week?

Answer: Not necessary. General restaurants If you walk in with a location, you can still enjoy the restaurant week discount package. But generally speaking, during the restaurant week, there are many people who are busy, and good restaurants are almost always set in advance. If you do n’t have to run for a trip, it is recommended to call in advance or opentable to check availability.

How to enjoy the restaurant week discount package?

Answer: Please explain to the restaurant staff at any time before you order (such as when making a reservation, waiting for a seat, or asking for a menu). The average restaurant will prepare two menus during this period, a regular menu and a DineLA menu. All you need to do is order the DineLA menu and he will know.

BOA Steakhouse(Santa Monica / West Hollywood)

Naturally air-dried steaks have high requirements on the quality of the beef itself and the air-dried conditions, so the cost is quite high.
