Personally, I think it’s all about trying NEW places that perhaps we have not tried yet. And in some cases, I will be returning to my favorite haunts—just because. The good news is that the participating restaurants are all over Orange County, so that gives us so many choices! https://ocrestaurantweek.com/
FIVE STEPS TO ENJOYING RESTAURANT WEEK:
1) Get your calendar out!
2) Make a list of the restaurants YOU want to visit and check out their menus on-line. Perhaps think about a place or two that you have not tried yet.
3) Make a list of all the people you want to see in early March. This might include friends, loved ones, girlfriends, your wine club, those celebrating birthdays, or some that you said you would see “right after the holidays”. Come on now… keep your promise….
4) Contact them all and secure dates that work.
5) Start booking your reservations!!! Here is the web site with all the menus and details so you can start your planning: https://ocrestaurantweek.com/
