Arizona Spring Restaurant Week 2011: May 13th-22nd

Spring is in the air! We are so excited for the upcoming first Arizona Spring Restaurant Week, beginning Friday, May 13th and ending Sunday, May 22nd. It’s a great opportunity to visit all your favorite Valley restaurants (and try some new ones too!) without breaking the bank.

If you’re unfamiliar with Restaurant Week, here’s the scoop:

May 13th-22nd, diners will be given the opportunity to take advantage of restaurant week pricing on a three-course pre-fixe meal for either $30 or $40 per person (tax and gratuity not included). Some restaurants even offer a complementing beverage along with the meal.
