A 3 course dinner at all participating restaurants is $30, and a 3 course lunch is $15. Delaware Dines Out will run September 26 through Sunday, October 2nd.
A full list of restaurants, with menus, can be found here: http://www.delawaredinesout.com/
My top picks are: The Back Burner, Chelsea Tavern, Deep Blue, Domaine Hudson, Krazy Kat's, and Piccolina Toscana. I'm a little sad that Pomodoro (on Union Street. If you're thinking New Castle right now, you're thinking of Polidoro, which is nowhere near the same league) and Sapori D Italia aren't participating, but you can still go to those places and get really great value for $30. But then I guess you wouldn't be benefiting the...
Wait, does this thing benefit something? You would think it does, right? But where is there mention of any benefit or charity on Delaware Dines Out's website?
Interesting. I have mixed feelings about these restaurant weeks, anyway. It sounds like a good deal at first glance, but then you look at the 3 course options you get and it's like one good dish with a really cheap, small salad and a really cheap, bare-bones dessert. I think I saw "chocolate pudding" on one menu. Mind, not every restaurant takes these short cuts, which is why you really have to look at the menus (available on the website I linked above) to see if you're getting 3 real, actual courses, or 1 course and a couple of pieces of lettuce and a scoop of ice cream.
Happy dining.
