Local Restaurants Participating in First Annual Spring Restaurant Week

During the week of April 3, over 150 Long Island restaurants will be offering prix fixe meals as part of WordHampton’s first annual spring restaurant week.

Participating restaurants include five local eateries, which will present gourmet meals for $24.95 to their customers. The price includes an appetizer, main course and dessert.

The promotion comes on the heels of Hampton Restaurant week, which also offered prix fixe dishes at participating Hamptons restaurants, as well as a fall Long Island restaurant week, where over 250 restaurants showed off their culinary delights.

The spring restaurant week is expected to not only allow customers to try new dishes and restaurants at an affordable price, but also give restaurants a shot in the arm before the summer season gets into full swing.

Tara Berkoski, who spoke for WordHampton, said the latest restaurant week was created after several western Suffolk County eateries requested that WordHampton back another restaurant week that includes restaurants across Long Island.

While Hampton’s restaurant week just concluded, Berkoski said, restaurants across the board are still lining up to get on board with the promotion.

“So far it’s working,” Berkoski said.  “We have over 150 Long Island restaurants signed up.”

Berkoski says spring restaurant week gives customers a chance to “try out new restaurants or go to their favorite restaurant at a discounted rate.”

“You can make a whole day of it or a week of it,” she said, “Head up Island and try a restaurant there or head out east.”

For businesses, the promotion is a boon. Berkoski explained that restaurants can sign up for the promotion at a cost of $395 and in return, they typically gain new customers.

Locally, five restaurants are participating: and in Rocky Point, in Miller Place and Amici's and Alexandros in Mt. Sinai.

Alexandros is offering a three-course prix fixe featuring entrees such as a New York Strip Steak and Lamb Souvlaki served over rice pilaf. Amici's fetures Chicken Francese and Jumbo Shrimp Fra Diavlo along with other popular Italian dishes.

Blond's prix fixe menu features five entree choices and three dessert options, including a Crispy Fried Oreo Shot. At Sea Basin you can also find three appetizer and six entree choices, featuring Veal Santimbocca and Prime Rib.

Full restaurant week menus can be found on each restaurant's site. Find a full list of all participating restaurant's here.
