We were reluctant to announce the 2nd Annual West County Restaurant Week earlier, as the respective menus had not been finalized. They're finalized now.
The event will be held next week, Monday, June 4 through Sunday, June 10, with 14 restaurants participating (up from 11 last year). The format follows the same 3 courses for $25 prix-fixe format as other Restaurant Weeks. There are no cards or coupons or secret handshakes or passwords necessary...simply visit a participating restaurant and request the special menu. (Each restaurant's regular menu will be available as well).
This year's event will benefit Autism Speaks, an organization dedicated to research and treatment of autism. There's an opportunity to "Add A Glass" (special cocktail or wine) for $7 and a request to donate an extra $5 to the local chapter of Autism Speaks.
The returning restaurants are as follows: Balaban's Wine Cellar & Tapas Bar, Candicci's Restaurant & Bar, Charlie Gitto's from the Hill, Gianfabio's Italian Café, The Mediterranean Grill, Sapore Italian Café, Surf & Sirloin, and McCormick & Schmicks.
Restaurant new this year are: Mosaic-Des Peres, Kabuki Sushi & Fusion, Bistro 1130, Filippo's, plus two steakhouses, Stoney River and Tahoe Joe's.
Reservations are recommended, as peak reservation times tend to go fast. The complete menus and hours for all 14 participating restaurants are here.
We haven't yet visited all these restaurants, chances are you haven't either. There's no better time to check them out.
