How Restaurant Week Works
Participating spots offer special menus, promotions and dining experiences during the week. There are no published fixed-price meal tiers, so offers vary by restaurant—check each place’s listing before you go.
Diners sign up for a free digital passport through the Chamber. The passport is the official home for the full participant list and map, and it ties into prize incentives for people who use it while they dine. Signup is free; gift-card prizes come from restaurants that choose to donate them to the Chamber’s passport program.
