As part of our annual food issue, Creative Loafing has partnered with 20 Bay area restaurants to present area folks with an event that is already taking place at various cities across the country: Restaurant Week, a seven-day celebration of the local culinary scene. Basically, it works like this. You, the potential diner, visit our website and choose from the list of restaurants, which are all offering sumptuous, $25 prix fixe (three-course) menus. Participating restaurants are spread all over town and include Belleair Grill & Wine Bar, Bella's Italian Café, Café Alma, Casa Tina, Ceviche Fresco, Chez Bryce, Da Sesto's, Elements Global Cuisine, Fly Bar and Restaurant, La Fogata Churrascaria, GrillSmith, Mad Dogs and Englishmen, Michael's Grill, Mise en Place, Savannah's Café, Pacific Wave, Takara at The Venue, The Bamboo Club, Viaggio Tapas Restaurant and Bar, and The Wine Exchange. Visit these restaurants anytime between June 12 and 18, enjoy a great meal, and then tell your friends about it, so they can reap the benefits, too. June 12-18; for more information, dinner times, and menus, log on to tampa.creativeloafing.com/restaurantweek.
