DineLA Offers Seconds on Restaurant Week This Month

We might be a foodie nation these days, but we're also a nation on a budget, which is probably why many of the restaurants participating in this year's DineLA promotion have agreed to extend the event until February 28th. Several of the eateries will continue to offer fixed-price lunch and/or dinner menus at a discounted price for three weeks beyond the original event's scheduled dates. For those hoping to score a sweet deal for you and a sweetie next Saturday, though, you can bet that the restaurants will be taking Valentine's Day off. Since not all places are taking part in the second helpings, make sure you confirm with the restaurant of your choosing that they are still doing DineLA; it's best to give them a call and make a reservation.
LAist has been gobbling up DineLA meals all over town this month--we've been to Campanile, Locanda del Lago, Thousand Cranes, Water Grill, Asia de Cuba, and SimonLA, with more mouthwatering reports to come. So get out and get some good eats at a good price!
