Ah - Walsh Rarebit reminds my of my grandparents. Saw it on a menu in Lake Placid and had to try  it. Thanks for sharing.

As for RW - love it! Great to encourage "Clevelanders" to actually visit Cleveland proper Our city has so much to offer including so many great restaurants. Glad to see the variety of restaurants participating and looking forward to supporting them. Thanks for sharing this info. Happy eating!

Taza's Potato Cilantro was outstanding!

What a great idea. A chance to try out places you maybe haven't been to before. I have a couple of friends with restaurants in my home town I wonder if I could persuade them to do something like this.

My latest conversation: Chamonix France

I like Restaurant Week because it is a chance to go out and appreciate what the City has to offer. Its a unique experience at a restaurant I normally wouldn't go to, and take a break from life to enjoy friends and family. It also happens to be very friendly for a student's wallet =)

Favorite part of restaurant week is that it is a great way to try new restaurants as they usually put out some great options to get new customers in the door!

My only complaint with restaurant week is my wife is in Hudson, so either she drives and we have 2 cars, or I go home and have to drive back....gonna have to hit some of the lunch specials without her!

I like restaurant week because in many cases restaurants will put special items on the prix fixe menu that you haven't tried at that restaurant before (or are they just putting the cheaper items on there??? hmm). $30/pp isn't really much of a savings depending on how you order and if you are getting multiple drinks :) , but it still seems to be incentive enough to get people in the door. I work downtown so I personally am a big fan of the RW lunch specials. Also as a sidenote I think Zack Bruell's restaurant week was a great marketing idea. Highlights of that week were a beet/grapefruit/fennel salad and a beet infused cocktail at Parallax.

Overall I appreciate the excitement it generates for the city's restuarant scene regardless of whether it's an amazing deal everytime.

What bothers me most about restaurant week is the limited participation with regard to lunches. Some restaurants don't even offer a RW lunch menu, and many that do are not offering anything different, discounted, or otherwise "special" from their regular lunch menu. As the parent of a very young child, you've got a choice of the cost of babysitter PLUS the dinner out or bringing along your impatient, loud, disruptive toddler (not all kids are as good as yours at dining out, Michelle) so we basically almost never go out to dinner anymore. My lunches out are treats and I would more fully take advantage of restaurant week if more restaurants stepped up their game (or at least participated) for lunches during that time.

I've actually never been able to participate in restaurant week, but am not working downtown and can't WAIT to try it out- how lucky we are to live in a city with such fabulous restaurants.

Being able to eat at places that I usually can't afford to go to unless it's a super special occasion!

Love to try check out new areas and places....

Being able to try new places!!!

Going to Cowell & Hubbard before we see Tosh in April!

Restaurant week provides a great incentive to try new restaurants, and dine more frequently at old favorites!

I love going to restaurants that are usually reserved for "special occasions" mid-week. It is such a treat to have a fancy meal on a regular day and not spend a fortune.

I love Restaurant Week because it gets people out and about :)

I like having the chance to try new places at which I could not otherwise afford to eat!

We're hoping to get out and enjoy it this year, our son was born 2-12-11 and so we were a bit busy this time last year =)

I like the cheap parking & the fact it encourages people to go to places that aren't a chain. I support local business & like it when they try to get others to do the same!

I like the reduced parking idea! And I like that it's an incentive to get my friends to come out and try new places with me, too.

I like the cheap parking. I live downtown, so it is not a problem for me, but sometimes it is a pain for people coming to go out to dinner with me. I also like the fun, pre-fixe menus.

I like the ability to try restaurants I haven't been to before.

I've never done Cleveland's restaurant week..I just moved her & think it would be an awesome experience to get exposed to all the great food in Cleveland!

I love going to Restaurant Week. It is a great time to get a deal and try a new place to eat. The only thing I don't like, is that they changed the date this year. It used to fall the week of our wedding anniversary/

I love the feeling of being downtown with a bunch of people who aren't wicked drunk for some sports game, but dressed up all nicely and meandering around.

i love restaurant week just because i love food

I love Cleveland Restaurant Week. It affords me the opportunity to try some of the food prepared by the wonderful chefs of Cleveland.

I love Cleveland restaurant week because it give me the cheapo an opportunity to try some of the more expensive restaurants then I get hooked on them and keep coming back!

I love Cleveland Restaurant Week! It's a great way for me to try food I wouldn't usually try - and multiple courses- at some of my favorite restaurants. Count me in. As usual :)

Restaurant Week is a great way to try different places I've been wanting to try, and at an even better price! :)

its a great chance to try new restaurants.

I like it because I like anything that gets people out and about in Cleveland.

best part about all this- discounted parking so we can focus on the food!

So glad Cleveland has a restaurant week-brilliant

The best thing about restaurant week is trying new restaurants!

So excited for Restaurant Week and the new restaurants that have joined the line-up!

The best and worst thing about rw week is it brings out diners who wouldn't normally be dining at the restaurants in droves.

restaurant week is great because it makes it easy to try new places (like cowell & hubbard) or revisit old favorites (like greenhouse tavern).

The only thing that I DON"T like about restaurant week is that it is only a week and that means not enough meals!

I LOVE Restaurant Week because A) it gives me a valid excuse to gather a group of friends for dinner out and B) I am usually able to talk those friends into trying a new place off of our normal rotation!

What I love about Restaurant week are the gourmet, prix-fixe, 3 courses menus all over town. Walk in and dine in style - some even let you substitute a glass of wine for dessert - making it a perfect sample of what's great on the menu.

Perfect timing. We just moved closer. Gives us a great chance to try some new places.

I love trying new places and this encourages it.

i love RW because i now work in the hustle and bustle of downtown, too!

Usually my husband and I share an appetizer and dessert, and have our own entrees. Restaurant Week allow us to afford to try an extra appetizer and dessert at restaurants we love!

I love RW because we take the opportunity to try something new.

i love RW because i get to go out and afford a babysitter!

Great way to try a new place or food item you normally wouldn't.

I love RW because I am new in town and there are so many restaurants to try!

We love RW because it gives us an opportunity to try new places without breaking the bank. RW also inspires us to keep our dining out rotation "fresh" and helps us have more to talk about with our friends & co-workers. LOL Oh, and, we love RW because we often try to bring friends with us who don't often eat in Cleveland so it gives them good/positive exposure to the city!
