Newcomers to the event, which began 12 years ago, include Firebird’s Wood Fired Grill, Mills Park Hotel, 937 Grill & Taproom, Smith’s Boat House, The Wandering Griffin and Caddy’s Taphouse in Beavercreek and Miamisburg.
The seasonal promotion presents an opportunity to sample the best that local restaurants have to offer in the form of three-course meals priced at $20.17, $25.17, or $30.17 at a variety of restaurants all over town.
“This is a week the restaurants showcase their talents and try out new menu items at a really good value. The restaurants love seeing new faces and participating in Restaurant Week. The last week in January is a slower time for the restaurants and this is a way to support (them),”said Amy Zahora, executive director of the Miami Valley Restaurant Association (MVRA).
Last year Zahora says more than 9,000 Winter Restaurant Week meals were sold.
A donation will be made to Womanline and the MVRA Scholarship Fund from the sale of each meal.
INSIDER TIPS
Zahora recommends making reservations in advance and to double-check the dates and the restaurants are participating — not all restaurants are open seven days a week. She also points out that earlier dining times and off-peak days like Sunday through Wednesday will have more availability.
