Conshohocken Restaurant Week
Conshohocken Restaurant Week runs Monday, September 21 through Sunday, September 27, with 16 restaurants in Conshohocken and West Conshohocken putting out prix fixe menus. It is presented by The Courts at Spring Mill Station. The event page has one instruction: make your reservations now. You book with each restaurant directly; every listing carries a phone number and most link to online booking. Menus are being linked on the page as they come in, and as of September 2 eleven of the sixteen were up. The spread is wide. Masala Symphony has four courses for $30. Rick's Tavern is $40 for three, Pepperoncini and Salt & Stone are $45, and Southern Cross Kitchen does a $50 three-course dinner plus a $30 two-course brunch. Bar Lucca, Bar Sera, The StoneRose and Hook & Ladder sit at $60 for three courses, Gypsy Saloon adds a glass of Champagne to its $60 three courses, and The Rabbit Hole tops the list at $65. Several of those are listed plus tax and gratuity. Three places are in for the first time: Rick's Tavern, Salt & Stone and The Rabbit Hole. Two practical notes. Hook & Ladder is inside the historic firehouse next to Hotel West & Main on Fayette Street, and its parking garage entrance is off West Elm Street. And there is a $100 gift card drawing on September 20, good at the participating restaurant of your choice, so enter on the event page before the week starts.
