Dover Dines Restaurant Week: Take a Bite Out of Dover

DOVER—
Dover has claimed its place on the map as the place to find fine dining at a reasonable price. In an effort to promote the fabulous restaurants Dover has to offer, Dover Main Street and the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with PortsmouthNH.com, Reverie Designs and WXGR, are very excited to announce Dover Dines ’10! June 5-12th will be a week of fine dining at a great fixed price with each participating restaurant offering a 3 course prix fixe dinner for $15.95 or $21.95, many restaurants will also offer a $7.95 two course lunch. “This is a great opportunity for people to get out and rediscover a restaurant they might not have been to in awhile or to support a few of their favorites without breaking the bank.” says Carrie Eisner, program director for Dover Main Street.
With 10 local restaurants participating, from a full range of cuisines and tastes, event organizers and Dover Main Street board members, Mike Cartelli and Martha Mason are looking forward to a successful event. “There really is something for everyone being offered this week. We hope people will take advantage of the event and try a couple of different places throughout the week.”
Restaurants participating are Alexander’s Italian Restaurant, Blue Latitudes, Cartelli’s Bar & Grill, Christopher’s Third Street Grill, Harvey’s Bakery & Coffee Shop, La Festa Brick & Brew Pizzeria, Orchard St. Chop Shop, Smiley’s Pizza & Subs, Three Chimney’s Inn and The Weathervane Seafood Restaurant. With participation from most of Dover’s fine restaurants, you are bound to be treated to a great meal at a great price.
Kirt Schuman, Executive Director of the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce notes “It’s the perfect week to come to Dover for dinner with family and friends - or lunch with co-workers. The fixed price menu gives you the opportunity to sample all the unique and interesting restaurants in the city at a very affordable price. Now more than ever, it is important for everyone to be supporting locally owned businesses in our community.”
