Orange County Restaurant Week, an entire week dedicated to celebrating local restaurants, returns this Sunday, March 6 through Saturday, March 12. This year’s event will highlight more than 120 restaurants that have thoughtfully crafted menus and cocktails designed to showcase Orange County’s diverse dining options.
Diners will have an opportunity to partake in a variety of Prix-Fixe Menus and Luxe Menus; as well as focused experiences, including Family Night, Date Night, Vegetarian Dining, a Dessert Spotlight, and options for the entire Squad. In addition, the beloved Cocktails of Restaurant Week will showcase unique creations.
Diners will be able to find participating restaurants and search menus, cocktails and more, online at http://www.OCRestaurantWeek.com.
This year’s event kicks off with an exclusive Restaurant Week Masters VIP Preview Party at the Irvine Spectrum Marriott on Saturday, March 5. A limited number of VIP guests will be the first to sample delicious bites from OC Restaurant Week menus, premium wines, fine cocktails, live music by Jabe Amato, and a live broadcast by Neil Saavedra from The Fork Report. Elevating the event, Bear Robotics will have two state-of-the-art robots mingling with guests and serving charcuterie from Lover Boards.
Proceeds from the event will benefit Golden Rule Charity. Find more information and purchase tickets at ocrestaurantweek.com/restaurant-week-masters.
“OC Restaurant Week has been a highlight for Southern California foodies for 14 years,” says Pamela Waitt, founder of OC Restaurant Week and President of OC Restaurant Association, Inc. “Now more than ever, diners are hungry to explore all that Orange County’s diverse culinary scene has to offer with their friends and family. There’s no better way to do that than through the limited-time menus that are created exclusively for OC Restaurant Week.”
Participating restaurants, menus, cocktails, and more, can be found online at OCRestaurantWeek.com.
