Just when you thought Saratoga’s slow season had finally arrived, Discover Saratoga has gone and given you another reason to get out and about this week: The tourism agency’s popular Saratoga Restaurant Week initiative, now celebrating its 20th year, kicks off today—Monday, November 3—and runs through the weekend.
The main draw of Restaurant Week is the three-course prix fixe dinner special, offered for $35 (plus tax and tip) at more than 35 participating restaurants throughout Saratoga County. Certainly, some longtime Restaurant Week favorites are back, including Panza’s, Hattie’s, Boca Bistro, Brook Tavern, and Scallions (click the links to see the menus!). But with all the new restaurants that have opened in the last 12 months, this year’s Restaurant Week has plenty of first-time participants: Check out the menus at newcomers Familiar Creature, Fillies on Phila, Salvato’s Bistro, T.G. Clancy’s Tavern & Fare, Regent, and Standard Fare, whose second-course zucchini “lasagna” is pictured above.
Other restaurants are getting in on the fun, too. For $25 dinner specials, check out Artisanal Brew Works, The Hideaway, The Ripe Tomato, and more, and for $15 lunch specials, head to Country Corner Cafe, Shirley’s Restaurant, and Thirsty Owl Bistro, among others.
