San Antonio Restaurant Week 2016 Is August 13-27th! #SARW #culinariasa #WGDinesOut

August means that it's finally time for THE Summer event that San Antonio food lovers look forward to every year: Culinaria's San Antonio Restaurant Week! This year's event is taking place August 13-27, and it literally offers something for every kind of food lover! Restaurants all over the city are offering special three-course lunch and dinner prix fixe menus. Prices come in two tiers to ensure the event fits a wide range of budget options:

• Tier 1 Restaurants: $15 lunch and $35 dinner
• Tier 2 Restaurants: $10 lunch and $25 dinner

If you've never taken part in San Antonio Restaurant Week, this is the perfect year to jump in with both feet! This fun and delicious culinary event is a great way to try a new-to-you restaurant...or dine out at one of the city's best restaurants for a much lower price point. There's truly something from everyone...from more casual family-friendly restaurants to high-end gourmet dining. Be sure to visit the San Antonio Restaurant Week website to check out the mouthwatering menus!

This year, we're going to be sampling Restaurant Week dinner menus from a pair of  great Tier 1 restaurants: popular romantic favorite Grey Moss Inn and spicy grilled seafood favorites from Asado Seafood & Grill. We've always meant to dine at Grey Moss Inn, but have never made the drive out to Helotes. We're really looking forward to enjoying a romantic date night at this San Antonio landmark! We've dined at Asado Seafood & Grill once before, so we know how amazing their food is! We'll be sharing both amazing dining experiences live via Instagram, so be sure to follow The Weekend Gourmet (WEEKENDGOURMET) to see lots of pictures of our San Antonio Restaurant Week adventures!

While reservations are not required to dine out for San Antonio Restaurant Week, they are strongly encouraged -- especially if you want to dine at the city's most popular restaurants. All reservations should be booked directly with the restaurant(s) you wish to dine at. As an added bonus...not only will your meal be a delicious dining experience, but it will be a charitable one too! With every meal that is ordered during San Antonio Restaurant Week, each participating restaurant will donate $1 for lunch and $2 for dinner to Culinaria San Antonio and all of the great programs it supports.
