NORFOLK, Va. - It's a great chance to try a new place or revisit one of your favorites.
Restaurant Week is back in Downtown Norfolk with around two dozen restaurants participating!
Menus are offered at a fixed cost, featuring multiple courses in most cases. Some restaurants, like The Stockpot, are presenting special menus with meals not normally offered.
"It's an opportunity for us to do something a little bit different. We can be a little more inventive," Sous chef Liz Vredenberg told News 3. "It's fun for us to figure out something we can run for, like, a week."

The council says restaurant participation is nearing pre-pandemic levels.
