San Diego Restaurant Week Fall 2011

Restaurant 5 - $15 Lunch at McCormick & Schmick's

Somehow I missed this restaurant when looking at the lunch menu but luckily Dennis found it.

Restaurant 4: $15 Lunch at Sbicca

I dined with a friend who had NOT eaten anywhere for SDRW yet (poor guy). I love having company for food. Restaurant 1 was by myself and I only got to try one dish. Very sad!

Restaurant 3: $30 Dinner at Jakes Del Mar

Restaurant 2: $10 Lunch at Cicciotti's Trattoria Italiana and Seafood.

We decided to visit this place for restaurant week because it was very cheap at $10 for lunch. Plus, the menu was almost the exact same as the $20 dinner with the addition of dessert.

San Diego Restaurant Week Fall 2011

And thus begins my adventure into restaurant week... Since I had some time off from work, I decided to try out several lunches, especially since lunch menus were just added!

Have you been to Fitzee Foods in Point Loma?  This store sells "fresh, organic, all-natural, ready-made meals."

What we also like about this place is that they encourage good health behaviour by hosting yoga and boot camp classes and various talks.  They don't just talk the talk... they walk the walk!  Employees are very friendly here and try to help you pick out meals that you may enjoy. There are several sized meals to choose from based on the amount of calories you'd like to consume.
