Baltimore Restaurant Week 2012: Dates and changes

Baltimore has announced the dates for its winter dining promotion. The dates for Winter Restaurant Week are Jan. 20 - 29, 2012. There are changes.

Lunch, which had been a three-course option, priced most recently at $20,

And the fixed price for dinner menu, which had been $35 for three courses will now be either $30 or $20 for three courses. Participating restaurants will be able to offer one of those dinner options but not both.

The changes are in response to diner feedback, according to a spokeswoman for Visit Baltimore, which co-produces Baltimore's restaurant weeks. The lower price point will allow restaurants that didn't feel a $35 dinner menu provided value to their diners to participate in restaurant week. Visit Baltimore informed restaurant owners and operators about the changes in a letter.
