2012 Frederick Restaurant Week: March 5 – 11

Pssssst. Guess what?

2012 Frederick Restaurant Week has been announced. Like, officially-announced-in-a-press-release announced. Are you psyched? I am.

VOLT isn’t yet?* on their list of participating restaurants, which is a bummer. My fingers are crossed that Bryan will add it at the last minute, but with his latest venture, Lunchbox, included already I’m doubtful. It’s been a tradition – is two years a tradition? – that my sister and I go to VOLT during Frederick Restaurant Week, but I suppose {insert sarcastic grin} we can find somewhere else to whet our appetites. Here’s who’s in so far:

Participating Restaurants*

    • Acacia Fusion Bistro
    • Alexander’s
    • Brewer’s Alley
    • The Cellar Door
    • Courtyard by Marriott Bistro
    • Firestone’s Culinary Tavern
    • Il Porto Italian Restaurant
    • Isabella’s Taverna & Tapas Bar
    • Lunchbox
    • Moxie Bakery & Café
    • Olives Italian Restaurant & Lounge
    • The Orchard
    • Pizzeria Mangia e Bevi
    • Quynn’s Attic
    • The Red Horse
    • Shab Row Bistro & Wine Bar
    • Sumittra Thai Cuisine
    • The Tasting Room
    • The Wine Kitchen on the Creek

*At time of publication. Restaurants may participate in lunch, dinner, or both. Participation details will be posted on the website.

Good news is, Frederick has plenty of wonderfully satiating restaurant choices to pick from if your first choice hasn’t made the list. And readers? If you haven’t visited downtown Frederick recently, you should. In fact, spend a weekend (they have special overnight packages available through Plamondon Hospitality Partners) – there’s plenty to eat do around here, and in March the weather should be nice (although I won’t make any promises since Maryland is famous for its persnickety early spring weather).
Here’s the scoop from the press release – because it’s just better to post it verbatim, rather than try to squeeze a few key details into a couple of bullet points. I’ll save that for later…as Frederick Restaurant Week gets closer.
Official Press Release:

January 1, 2012 (Frederick, MD) – Frederick will offer diners price-fixed meals at mouth-watering prices the week of Monday, March 5 – Sunday, March 11, 2012 during Frederick Restaurant Week 2012.

In its third year, Frederick Restaurant Week offers delicious 2-course and 3-course special menus. In a collaborative effort, the Downtown Frederick Partnership and the Tourism Council of Frederick County (TCFC), along with local restaurants, planned the promotion. During Restaurant Week, lunches will be offered at $15.12 for a 2-course meal and $20.12 for a 3-course meal. Dinners are offered at $20.12 for 2-courses and $30.12 for 3-courses. Pricing is per person and excludes beverages, taxes, and gratuity, unless otherwise noted by individual restaurants. Restaurants may participate in lunch, dinner, or both. Participation details will be posted on the website.

“After the success of our past two Frederick Restaurant Weeks, we’re pleased to offer the promotion again this year,” says John Fieseler, Executive Director for the TCFC. “It is a perfect opportunity for visitors and residents to experience our vibrant dining scene,” he adds. “During Restaurant Week, meals are priced to offer a savings,” says Kara Norman, Executive Director of the Downtown Frederick Partnership.

“New this year, special lodging packages will be offered so visitors can dine, stay, and enjoy all that this area has to offer,” says Fieseler. The website, www.frederickrestaurantweek.com, will have information about the 2012 promotion, including participating restaurants, prices, and hotel package information. It will also be updated to include menus, reservation details, and other visitor information.

To keep dining enthusiasts in the loop, Tourism will tweet Restaurant Week happenings from their www.twitter.com/tourfrederickmd Twitter account, and people can either follow or join the discussion under the hashtag #FredRestWk. Updates will also be posted to the Tourism Council of Frederick County’s Facebook page, www.facebook.com/VisitFrederickMD.
