Dine Out Lauderdale Starts Today
We just finished up with Miami Spice, so now it's on to Dine Out Lauderdale! Will these restaurant promotions never cease? We imagine they will, once the tourists arrive for the season. But anyway, Dine Out Lauderdale is a six-week restaurant promotion for Broward County restaurants, from October 1 until November 15, sponsored by the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau. They're using all sorts of cutesy names (Greater "Fork" Lauderdale, LauderLicious, etc.) to get people's attention. Thirty-five restaurants in Greater "Fork" Lauderdale will be serving up three-course prix fixe dinners for $35.
The lineup: 35 restaurants total, including Mark's Las Olas, Mark's Las Olas, Food Amongst The Flowers, Aizia at the Westin Diplomat, and Himmarshee Bar & Grille. For a complete list, check out the bureau's website.
Ah, but there's fine print. The offer is valid only on Sundays through Thursdays, and it's not valid during the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, October 25-29. We find it a little annoying that the promotion isn't good on Friday and Saturday nights. If you're going to do this big promotion, why not go all the way with it? They seem to be trying to copy the success of Miami Spice, but the whole reason Miami Spice is successful is because it includes a ton of restaurants with both lunch and dinner Spice menus and doesn't place limitations on weekend dinners. We'll see how this turns out. Any Dine Out Lauderdale reviews? Tell us!

Without the Friday or Saturday option anywhere, it pretty much nixes our chances of participating. Too bad, we'd been looking forward to exploring more of Broward!
