OpenTable Celebrates San Francisco + Oakland Restaurant Weeks!

OpenTable and San Francisco OpenTable Celebrates San Francisco + Oakland Restaurant Weeks!

At OpenTable, most of us have kept our hearts (and stomachs!) in San Francisco!

Every restaurant week is important at OpenTable, but, personally, we get really excited about the restaurant weeks in the Bay Area — because they happen in our own backyard! San Francisco is the birthplace of OpenTable, and since we’re a company of foodies (Matt! Ann! Scott! Josh! Annie! Jeremy! Tori! Johanna! Tiffany! Rosie! Jack! Morgan! And, um, well, there are far too many to name.), OpenTable’s local employees love every day of San Francisco Dine About Town and Oakland Restaurant Week!

When you make San Francisco Dine About Town reservations on OpenTable, you’ll find availability at more than 100 participating restaurants. Many restaurants are participating solely for the $17.95 lunch, including Anchor and Hope, La Mar Cebicheria Peruana, Marlowe, Spruce, or Waterbar, among others! San Francisco restaurants on OpenTable that are offering dinner for $34.95 include 5A5 Steak Lounge, Bottle Cap, Fish & Farm, Roots, and Trademark. You can’t miss at lunch or dinner with restaurants offering both Dine About Town deals, such as Anzu, Chaya, Il Fornaio, Lark Creek Steak, and Trace! Book your San Francisco Dine About Town reservations on OpenTable today through January 31.

Across the bay, Oakland Restaurant Week is in full force, with lunch and dinner offerings at $20, $30 and $40! O-Town participants include BayWolf, Camino, Hudson, Plum, and Seison, among others. Book your Oakland Restaurant Week reservations on OpenTable now through January 29!
