Why OC Restaurant Week is the best time to try out new places - OCRegister

When you’re not sure about a restaurant you’re reluctant to make the investment. But if you could get a bargain, wouldn’t  you give a new place a try?

That’s why OC Restaurant Week — Sunday, March 8 through Saturday, March 14 — is the best time to check out places you’ve never been. This year there are more than 150 participating eateries so you’re bound to find something you’re dying to try. Multi-course fixed price menus for lunch will be offered for $10, $15, $20 or $25. Dinners are $20, $30, $40 or $50. For those willing to splurge, some chefs will present a “luxe experience” for $80 per person.
