Make your Chicago Restaurant Week reservations online

One of my favorite times of year is quickly approaching. It's almost Chicago Restaurant Week. During Chicago Restaurant Week, you'll find opportunities to dine at some of the best restaurants in the city to sample their cuisine - and in many cases at a deeply discounted rate. Prix Fixe menus are typically $22 (some upgraded options are $33) and dinners are $33 or $44 for several courses that give you a great sense of what you'll experience should you dine there another time of year.

Is there a new spot that you've been itching to try? This is the perfect time to try it out! Reservations are now being accepted. Visit eatitupchiciago.com for listings of participating restaurants! Read on for additional information from Choose Chicago.
