Hear ye, hear ye! The August Restaurant Week dates and locations have been announced. Get your Opentable-clicking finger ready.

This summer’s Restaurant Week will run from August 16th to August 22nd, with a three course lunch running you $20.10 and a three course dinner ringing up at $35.10. As usual, beverages, gratuity and tax are not included.

For those cave dwellers not familiar with the concept of Restaurant Week, it is a great opportunity to try out some new restaurants in town (such as Agora, Lyon Hall or Againn) or those usually outside the realm of financial possibilities (ahem…Bourbon Steak, J&G Steakhouse, 2941 Restaurant).

If the list of over 200 restaurants participating seems a bit overwhelming, have a look at Bethesda-Chevy Chase Restaurant Week (July 26th-August 1st) or Alexandria Restaurant Week (August 20th-August 29th).
