So word from McClelland at Boston’s swanky L’Espalier (where I recently did a lovely lunch) is that they have had a change of heart and are now participating in Restaurant Week… sort of.
A distinct possibility is that they realized with all the business heading towards other high end restaurants doing Restaurant Week, they faced the possibility of rotting truffles and surplus humanely farmed lobster moldering away, and thus decided to join the fray on their own terms.
The dinners are $7 more expensive than how much RW dinners are supposed to be, but the lunches are $4 cheaper, and hey, it’s L’Espalier! Here’s their bit of propaganda that ended up in my inbox:
We are pleased to announce that we are expanding our Restaurant Week repertoire! Lunch will be extended an extra week, and for the first time, we will be offering a “modified” Restaurant Week dinner menu for the bargain price of $40.09!
