Baltimore Restaurant Week is from August 13th to August 22nd. It's a great treat for us college students who start school the week after! For $20.10, you get to have a great 3-course lunch or for $35.50 a great 3-course dinner. Trust me, these restaurants are DIVINE!!

A few of my personal favorites and suggestions include:
1) Mezze (adjacent to Kali's Court- they are run under the same managements): If you've never had tapas (aka- small plates), you have to check this place out! Great variety and there's always something to please everyone's palate. Bring lots of friends because this is a meal that is meant to be shared! The dinner option is only available for restaurant week but they are offering this deal on weekends as well!

2) The Black Olive: Some GREAT fresh seafood and Mediterranean eats! A lunch option is also available so be sure to check them out! I went there last year with the boyfriend, and it was fabulous =).

3) RA Sushi Bar: Now I've never had their restaurant week special, but their Happy Hour (from 3-7 PM Monday through Friday) is fanTASTIC!! Half price select appetizers (practically all of them), nigiri and maki sushi, and drinks!!!

4) From what I've heard/read, Roy's Hawaiian Fusion is actually a great chain restaurant. For you chocoholics, their chocolate souffle is heaven!! =)

5) Ruth Chris Steakhouse: Again, another chain, but seriously, it's some good steak!! You really can't beat this price at any other time of the year, so be sure to check them out for you meat lovers!

Please let me know of any great restaurants that you find around Baltimore!! Let me know which restaurants you tried out this week!
