    To Flying Fish as seen presenting sashimi with blood orange and mint on KOMO TV?
    To Chiso as The Sunbreak did (while also providing some great tips)?
    To Andaluca as seen on Q13?
    To one of the new kids on the block – Golden Beetle, Cuoco or 50 North?
    To Joule to try the menu that the chef says represents the restaurant well?

    Or perhaps to one of the restaurants from an SRW ring leader that works to bring you this celebration of dining: Anchovies & Olives, Dahlia Lounge, Flying Fish, Seastar, Spring Hill, Tilth!

     


    Remember that SRW offers lunch for $15 and dinner for $28. That’s two meals a day and still eight chances to take advantage of the areas largest and best priced dining deal.

  • Restaurant Week Chefs Gather To Fight Hunger 08.31.10

    We’ve been busy ramping up for Seattle Restaurant Week (SRW), coming October 17-28, but we haven’t been so busy that we couldn’t hold an SRW fundraiser for a great cause: Food Lifeline!

    Last Tuesday, August 24, over 70 chefs gathered at the picturesque Olympic Sculpture Park to raise donations for hunger in Western Washington. SRW also gave out $1,000 worth of restaurant gift cards through a raffle supported by donations to Food Lifeline. The chefs posed for pictures, including one that will appear in Pacific Northwest Magazine this October. Keep your eyes peeled, but in the meantime, check out the below photos of some of the best chefs in the area.

    Thanks to all of the chefs that were able to attend!

  • Seattle Restaurant Week Returns October 17-28! 07.06.10

    SEATTLE RESTAURANT WEEK RETURNS OCTOBER 17-28

     Popular dining promotion continues to offer three-courses for $25

     

    SEATTLE—(July 6, 2010)—Building on the success of the inaugural Seattle Restaurant Week comes the announcement of the second countywide celebration: October 17-28. The second Seattle Restaurant Week will continue to serve up three-course dinners for $25 and optional three-course lunches for $15, Sunday through Thursday only; excluding Friday and Saturday. Restaurants are now confirming their participation.

    As with the inaugural promotion, held April 2010, Seattle Restaurant Week continues to remain open to any King County Restaurant that can provide diners with a menu of value that meets the requirement of three-courses for $25. The inaugural run included 106 restaurants and culminated in the broadest reaching, most price-conscious local dining promotion to date. “With the positive restaurant feedback we received, from increases in revenue to overwhelming supportive feedback from guests, we hope to have even more restaurants participate for the fall celebration,” said Pamela Hinckley, CEO of Tom Douglas Restaurants and Seattle Restaurant Cooperative board member.

    Adhering to its commitment to the restaurant community and diners, Seattle Restaurant Cooperative is proud to keep the price point at $25 for dinner and $15 for lunch. “We spoke to the participating restaurants after the inaugural promotion and learned that the $25 dinner and $15 lunch prices worked well for the restaurants. We are thrilled to continue to translate that to an amazing deal for diners,” said Christine Keff, chef-owner of Flying Fish and board member of the Seattle Restaurant Cooperative.

    All King County restaurants that can fulfill a $25 three course menu are encouraged to participate. Interested restaurants can email seattlerestaurantweek@gmail.com for additional information or to sign up by July 30.

    Diners are also encouraged to express their favorite restaurants for inclusion in Seattle Restaurant Week via Twitter (@SeattleRW) and Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/SeattleRestaurantWeek). Seattle Restaurant Cooperative will contact each diner-submitted restaurant for participation.

    The Seattle Restaurant Cooperative works in conjunction with seattletimes.com to manage and execute Seattle Restaurant Week. Seattletimes.com lends its expertise as an online source for the local landscape, connecting local consumers and businesses. Seattletimes.com brings over eight years of restaurant promotion experience to Seattle Restaurant Week.

    Seattle Restaurant Week, held twice annually, offers diners a $25 three-course menu and optional $15 three-course lunch, Sunday through Thursday; excluding Friday and Saturday, at participating area restaurants. The promotion is open to any King County restaurant that can offer a value driven menu for $25.
