Cleveland Restaurant Week, an annual promotion offered at member restaurants of Cleveland Independents, kicks off next week. From November 4 through 16, participating restaurants across Northeast Ohio will offer special three-course prix fixe menus for just $33 – a price that has not budged for years. The event has always offered diners a low-cost way to sample new eateries.

Approximately 50 different restaurants will be participating in this year’s event, says Matthew Anderson, chef of Table 45 and Cleveland Independents President.

“Well over half of our members are participating in this promotion, many more than have been involved in the past,” he reports. “The model doesn’t fit all of our members’ menus, which is why we’ll never have 100 percent participation, but this is a wonderful showing of support for the community, the organization and our local food scene.”
