Restaurant Week, the popular fine dining event in the Washington, D.C.-area, is firing up the winter season again in the next few days. Georgetown is well-represented in a list of over 200 metropolitan restaurants.

This season, 19 of the neighborhood's fine dining establishments are on the online list provided by Destination DC and the Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington, the organizers of this biannual gourmet food fest. From mostly Jan. 17 through Jan. 23 (some restaurants added another week to the event), food enthusiasts of all levels will flock to these participating venues for the valued three-course, fixed-price specials. Lunch is $20.11 and dinner is $35.11. Beverages, gratuity and tax, however, are not included in these prices. 

Most of Georgetown’s restaurants offer both lunch and dinner, but there are a few who serve only one dining option for the event. Two also serve brunch. Crab cakes, grilled mahi mahi, steak, fish tacos, mussels and risotto seem to be the popular features, based on several venues' Restaurant Week menu posted on their Websites. To reserve a table, you may call the restaurant or book online. Destination D.C.’s Website makes the reservation process easier by providing reservation links next to most of the listed restaurants.
