It’s not too early to make reservations at one of the 90-plus restaurants taking part in restaurant week, which runs Aug. 7-16 this year. The popular restaurants fill up quickly. And it’s such a great deal—three-course dinners for $30.09.

Many of the restaurants also offer two-course lunches for $20.09 and have special wine deals and events. Check out the website for a complete list and menu offerings. There will also be discounted parking, starting at $3, at some city garages.

I’m glad to see new restaurants Alizée and Taverna Corvino participating as well as some established restaurants that haven’t been on the list before. Also, the boundaries are expanding. You’ll find The Grille & Pub at Mountain Branch in Joppa and Elkridge Furnace Inn in Elkridge on the list, too.

I think this is going to be the best summer restaurant week ever.
