Get Downtown! Riverside Restaurant Week returns
Earlier this week, seven downtown area restaurants again rolled out the red carpet to showcase the city’s growing collection of unique dining establishments as part of the second annual Riverside Restaurant Week.
The event, which has expanded to 2 weeks, began this past Sunday night with a special fund-raising event for local arts at the Riverside Municipal Auditorium.
Sponsored by the Riverside Greater Downtown Fine Dining Group, patrons will be able to experience — at very reasonable prices — upscale culinary delights and one-of-a-kind atmospheres not found at the major “chain” restaurants. For the event, each establishment will offer a specially selected, three-course meal for $20 (lunch) and $35 (dinner).
Those who enjoy a meal and get their “restaurant passport” stamped at each of the seven establishments will be eligible for a drawing to be held during a special event at the Mission Inn — in the catacombs, no less — on October 25th. The prize is an escorted “tasting tour” that includes a “progressive dinner” stop at each restaurant. Afterward, the winner and their three guests will end the night with complimentary rooms at the downtown Marriott.
The seven participating restaurants are: Café Sevilla, Ciao Bella Ristorante, Mario’s Place, Mission Inn Restaurant, Olio Ristorante, Restaurant Omakase, Saffron.
The “week” lasts through Saturday October 10th.
So, get out and get downtown!
