For info about the most recent DC Restaurant Week go here.

If you don't know already, Restaurant Week is August 1st through the 7th. Lunch is $20.05 and Dinner is $30.05. Below is THE LIST of participating D.C. Restaurant Week restaurants and what they'll be offering on their menus that week. I'm calling around to each and every one of , and as I get information from them I'll fill in this list. Usually, I'm not done until the week before, because many restaurants don't finalize their menus until then.

I'm going to hold off on my recommendations until I know a little more about what each place is offering. But I can tell you that I will be leaning towards Corduroy and 1789 because they usually offer their full menu.

AS USUAL, MAKE SURE YOU CONFIRM WITH EACH RESTAURANT WHEN YOU MAKE THE RESERVATION THAT THEY ARE PARTICIPATING IN RESTAURANT WEEK. MAKE SURE YOU MAKE RESERVATIONS AS WELL BECAUSE THE RESTAURANTS THAT PARTICIPATE, ARE USUALLY PRETTY BUSY, EVEN DURING THE WEEK.

So here it is, THE LIST for Restaurant Week 2005.

Ceiba, TenPehn and DC Coast always offer a good majority of their menu during Restaurant Week. My first time eating at Ceiba was during Restaurant Week in August 2004 and my wife and I had a very good meal there. Ceiba is probably one of the better restaurants on the Restaurant Week line up this August -- I'd definitely recommend trying it. Ceiba's web site can be found here.

Corduroy
Lunch and Dinner
Corduroy is always a great choice for Restaurant Week since they offer their full menu and their food is some of the best in D.C. Tom Power changes the menu quite often depending on what's fresh and in season, but my inside source gave me a few hints on what might the seasonal items might be on the menu that week:
Crispy Blue fish with Spicy Tomato Marmalade
Barnegeat Light Sea Scallop Tartare with Salmon Roe
Le Bocage Farm Tomato Salad
Charred Le Bocage Farm Tomato Soup
Crispy Black Grouper with Local Corn and Chantrelles
You can also expect a small surcharge for some of the more expensive items on the menu, like the Sunnyside Farms Strip Steak. You can read what I wrote about Corduroy In April. I also went to Corduroy last Restaurant Week in January, and now it's one of my favorite restaurants.

Dino
Dinner
Dino's Web Site. Just look at that menu people! The full menu will be available and you can choose any three courses, but there are a few restrictions: only have one secondo per person; only piccolo on the salumi plates; 3 selection Formaggi plate only. CORRECTION. Dean emailed me yesterday (7/31) and informed me that they were not going to be able to offer the full menu at Dino during Restaurant Week. They will have a pretty decent selection of their dishes, but the lasagnette and whole fish will be missing, as well as the octopus salad.
