FAQs
How exactly does Restaurant Week work?
For 10 days, we partner with Tampa Bay area restaurants to offer you multiple-course prix fixe menus at a exclusive price. Each menu is curated by the restaurant. To enjoy a specific restaurant's menu, simply stop into their location during their normal operating hours and ask for the "Tampa Bay Restaurant Week menu." If, for any reason, your server is unaware of the menu, don't be afraid to ask for a manager! Each restaurant has worked with us for weeks on this promotion and is aware of their menu.
Where can I find menus?
A full list of restaurants is available here. To view menus, click on each restaurant logo and it will bring up their Restaurant Week offering, as well as location info.
Are there any restrictions?
A restaurant may choose to have restrictions on their menu, which will be clearly outlined on their restaurant page. Menu pricepoints to do not include tax, gratuity, or beverages and alcohol (unless otherwise stated).
Speaking of tipping, how much should I tip?
Your servers are your friends! Suggested gratuity is a minimum of 20%.
If a chain is participating does that mean all locations are in involved?
No, please make sure you check out the individual restaurant page for full location details.
If a restaurant is offering a pricepoint for two people, how does that work?
Check out the menu for details - usually, a pricepoint for two will include a shared appetizer, a choice of entree per person, and a dessert to share. Sometimes, each course will be shared, so make sure you read the full menu for details on how pricing for two people works at the specific restaurant you're interested in.
