It's Fall Restaurant Week in Salem!

Salem's Restaurant Weeks - presented by the Salem Chamber of Commerce - is a great opportunity to get out and eat - especially if you're like me and have Champagne taste and a family-to-feed budget.

Fall restaurant week began on Sunday and runs through Thursday, September 17th. The participating restaurants are offering three-course prix-fixe dinner menus for $25 (which does not include drinks, taxes, or gratuities).

Whether you choose a restaurant on Washington Street, which has become known as "Eat Street" in Salem, or Pickering Wharf, or anywhere in between you will find great dining options at the participating restaurants.

Perhaps this is the opportunity for you to try something new (Have you always wanted to have dinner at Nathaniel's in the Hawthorne Hotel? They serve award-winning cuisine, but you forget about it because it's within the hotel?), or the motivation to return to a favorite spot (Finz, Victoria Station, Capt.'s, perhaps?). Three courses for $25 is a great deal, and a great reason to get out of your own kitchen for a night this week.

Your cravings for steak, lobster, curry, and pasta can all be satisfied this week in Salem. The biggest problem this week will be deciding where to eat!

One note from the Chamber of Commerce: Restaurants will offer multiple choices for appetizers, entrees and deserts. Reservations are encouraged, and you should contact the restaurants directly to save your restaurant week table. Remember to mMention "Restaurant Week" when making your reservations.
