Cleveland Restaurant Week, the biannual promotion offered at member restaurants of Cleveland Independents, kicks off today, March 6, and runs through March 18.

Participating restaurants across Northeast Ohio will offer special three-course prix fixe menus for just $39 (not counting tax and tip) — a price that has barely inched up in years.

As always, dozens and dozens of independent Northeast Ohio eateries are participating. The event has always offered diners a low-cost way to sample new eateries or return to old favorites.
