let the eating begin!

San Diego Restaurant Week January 15-20!

Are you excited? Cause I am. This is going to be my first one and I'm drooling just looking over the lists of places to eat and the items they are showcasing.

This is how it works:
Most restaurants have a set menu and price. Some even offer lunch settings. Sadly, I can't break away long enough to try these, so it'll be the dinner options for me. Most are either $30 or $40 a person. Off the bat that seems a lot, but when you look at the menus and consider what you are a getting, an apetizer course, main course and dessert at some of the premier restaurants around town, it's really not that much. Just the entree will run you that high of a price tag on any other night, so really this is a steal.

Here's a couple places on my list so far. (While $30-$40 is still cheaper than a regular dining out experience, my wallet and waistline can't handle more than a couple of these eat out nights in one week).

Peohe's:
1. Choice of First/Appetizers Course

Peohe's Famous Lobster Bisque or Peohe's Salad or Poke Tacos

2. Choice of Second/Main Course

Opah Misoyaki or Blue Crab Stuffed Tilapia or Pacific Rim Braised Beef Shortribs

3. Choice of Third/Dessert Course
Island Cheesecake or No Ka Oi (Fresh macadamia nut ice cream pie in a chocolate cookie crust, topped with Belgian bittersweet hot chocolate sauce and macadamia nuts) or Macadamia Nut Creme Brulee

Coronado Boathouse 1887:

1. Choice of First/Appetizers Course
Lobster Bisque or Ceaser Salad or Calamari
2. Choice of Second/Main Course
Peppered Ribeye Steak or Orange Salmon or Alaskan Halibut
3. Choice of Third/Dessert Course
Key Lime Pie or Kahlua Coffee Mud Pie or Personal Chocolate Lava Cake

I tried to get a couple pics in but somethings going on and won't let me add them :(

Really what get's me on these menu's is the Lobster Bisque... I LOVE Lobstser Bisque. Probably me favorite soup....mmm. Then the Blue Crab Stuffed Tilapia at Peohe's. I've never been a tilapia eater, but stuff it with crab and I'm hoping it'll be a winner. Finally the mud pie at Boathouse, mud pie is always a must get dessert. Just might have to walk home after eating it though!
