What's going down at Downtown Restaurant Week Save room for Downtown Restaurant Week! Presented by Downtown Oklahoma City, Inc., this 5-day smorgasbord runs from Jan. 22 – 26 and spotlights 8 fine-dining downtown restaurants and talented chefs that call OKC home. Here's how it works: each participating restaurant will offer prix-fixe menus, featuring limited-time, 3-course dinners for $30 per person. At the conclusion of the meal, guests may complete a survey card, which automatically enters them into a drawing for special prizes. One lucky grand prize winner will receive a $50 gift card to all 8 participating restaurants. One card per person at each restaurant will be accepted, so diners are encouraged to visit them all. Some of this year's participating restaurants include: Nonna’s Euro-American Ristorante Each restaurant will offer their special menu during different hours, but the special price only applies to the evening meal. No passes, coupons or cards are required for diners to participate; however, reservations are strongly encouraged. Reservations can be made any time through opentable.com. An online reservation option will be available soon on DowntownOKC.com. Check out the Downtown Restaurant Week webpage for updates or call 405-235-3500.
