The countywide Palm Beaches Restaurant Week officially ended on June 9, but some of the participating Palm Beach restaurants are continuing to offer three-course lunches and/or dinners for $20.12 and $30.12, respectively.
A couple of them have nudged those prices slightly up or down.
We’ve seen this all before—and with pleasure because a longer-running good deal is better than a short-term one.
You may remember in 2010, the second annual and now-dormant Palm Beach (singular) Restaurant Week morphed into a month-long promo and then was referred to as Palm Beach Restaurant Summer as it endured for a few months or more.
Back to Palm BeachES (plural) Restaurant Week, which was an inaugural event organized by West Palm Beach-based Shamin Abas Public Relations.
Among the participating Palm Beach restaurants planning a summer-long offer of $20.12 three-course lunches and/or $30.12 three-couse dinners—or an approximation of that formula—include Malcolm’s at The Omphoy and 264 The Grill, where “patrons
love our $30.12 dinner menu—super value,” according to co-owner Patti Gatti.
Cafe Boulud plans to offer a three-course $20.12 lunch menu on weekdays through June 22.
Renato’s, another Palm Beaches Restaurant Week participant, will continue to offer special three-course lunch and dinner menus throughout the summer, but according to a slightly different recipe. The dinner menu is $35; the three-course lunch menu is $20. “We made the lunch (deal) 12 cents better!” Renato’s GM, Jose-Luis Duran, drolly points out.
Be sure to call, in advance, any restaurant where you’re considering dining this summer because deals abound during this slower-business time of year.
Even some of the Restaurant Week participants that concluded their $20.12 and $30.12 deals have other ones in place—in some cases at perhaps a better value.
Take Palm Beach’s Trevini: There’s an $18 three-course lunch menu and a $28.95 three-course dinner menu.
