At 27, Harwood Arms head chef Stephen Williams has been cooking for just six years. However, he’s got two things fellow gastropub-runner Gordon Ramsay does not: a London Gastropub’s first Michelin star and a kind demeanor in the kitchen. The London Evening Standard spoke with him to discover what’s behind his good attitude and what’s on his great menu, and celebrate the fact that nice chefs can and do finish first.
Reserve your table at Harwood Arms and see what wowed the Michelin Guide reviewers.

Fans of SPQR need not worry that the Bay Area’s answer to the Roman Empire, food-wise, is in decline. Newly hired chef Matthew Accarrino is already pleasing critics palates with spuntini, rustic pastas, and more, most recently Patricia Unterman of The San Francisco Examiner.
SPQR only accepts reservations via OpenTable, and with just 49 seats, would-be diners at this Pacific Heights revamp should book early.

As if New York City Restaurant Week Winter 2010’s terrific prices aren’t incentive enough to dine out at many of Manhattan’s classic restaurants, the fabled Russian Tea Room is offering up guided tours of the restaurant’s restored-yet-infrequently-viewed upper floors. Normally open only for private events, the 30-minute tour will highlight the lavish (and oftentimes unusual) décor, which includes a bear fish tank, bear chandeliers (Are you sensing a theme here?), and an automated diorama of the Kremlin. All things you don’t see every day. Or most days, really.
Take advantage of your opportunity to see these unique fruits of restaurateur Warner LeRoy’s labors before his death in 2001. New York City Restaurant Week Winter 2010 runs through February 7, 2010. The Russian Tea Room does not offer its Restaurant Week menus or tours on Saturdays and Sundays.

The 27th Annual Sundance Film Festival starts tomorrow and runs through January 31. In addition to being known for celebrities, skiing, snowboarding, and swag, the Sundance Film Festival attracts independent film fans from around the world. Park City, a tiny resort town in Utah, is normally home to fewer than 10,000 people, but its numbers can swell to almost 55,000 during the festival each year. What this means for diners is that most restaurants are swelling with hungry patrons.
To increase your chances of filling up on good food while you get your fill of indie films, book your reservations today. Popular restaurants include Bistro Toujours, Chez Betty, The Glitretind Restaurant, Goldener Hirsch, Ruth’s Chris, Zoom, and many others.
You can also book on the fly using OpenTable Mobile to make sure you don’t get left out in the cold at Sundance.

Diners in the Chicago area are invited to join us as we empower Heartland Alliance to help the survivors of the recent earthquake in Haiti through Wake of the Quake. A Chicago non-profit organization which advances the human rights and responds to the human needs of endangered populations—particularly the poor, the isolated, and the displaced, Heartland Alliance will use the funds collected from Wake of the Quake participating restaurants to make a difference in the lives of the people of Haiti.
From January 18-24, 2010, each participating restaurant will offer their patrons the opportunity to contribute to Haitian relief efforts by adding $1 (or more!) to their check. Help Heartland Alliance and Haiti by opening your hearts and wallets often.
Learn more and reserve your tables today, and stay tuned for opportunities to donate while you dine out in other cities across the U.S.
