San Francisco’s Dine About Town promotion, offered each January and June, is a great way to sneak into those places that seem intimidatingly expensive the rest of the year. Sponsored by the San Francisco Convention & Visitors Bureau (SFCVB) and Visa, some of the City’s swankiest restaurants are signed up to offer specially-prepared 3-course meals at a set price per person: $21.95 lunches, $31.95 dinners.

I like Dine About Town because it’s an affordable opportunity to check out places that score high points for atmosphere and design but get mixed reviews for the food, like Farina in the Mission District. This is also a good time to go somewhere I might otherwise skip because of the cost, like Campton Place or Vitrine at the St. Regis (both are lunch only).

To get some insight on to best take advantage of Dine About Town, the Single Guy Chef’s blog lists participating restaurants that interest him and offers capsule reviews of the ones he’s been to. Click here to get a complete list of restaurants and make a reservation.
