How much will it cost to dine out during the festival?
A prix fixe menu is simply a “fixed price” menu of a certain number of items – usually an appetizer, main course and dessert. During the Seaway Food Festival, diners can choose a meal created specifically for the festival at a fixed price.
Can I make to-go orders?
No. The Seaway Food Festival menus are available for dine-in customers only and after 4pm.
Where do I make reservations?
Reservations are made at each individual restaurant. Tables may fill up fast during the festival, so making a reservation is an easy way to avoid disappointment and/or possibly long waits. Discover the restaurants you may want dine at by visiting the participant’s page. You will find all the information you need in order to make a reservation. Remember, some restaurants may not take reservations. If the restaurant has partnered with Open Table, you may be able to make reservations through Open Table as well.
What if only some in my party are interested in the special Seaway Food Festival menu?
All of the restaurants will also have their full menu available. Picky eaters not to worry!
Are there any additional costs I should be aware of when dining out during the festival?
Please keep in mind that beverages, tax and gratuity are not included in the special pricing. There may be some restaurants that do offer a beverage instead of a desert for example, so please consult individual menus for specific details. Gratuity, however, is never included and the wait staff work very hard during that week. Please tip generously, it goes a long way!
Who can I contact with comments about a restaurant?
All comments about a restaurant’s menu and service should be directed to that particular restaurant. You can contact [email protected] for comments about the promotion of the overall festival.
