Special Menus and Personal Favorites
While all of the restaurants offer prix fixe menus, some restaurants have a wider variety than others. Here are some recommendations to check out:

Pasta Dal Cuore is one of the few places that has vegan options for all three of their courses including a vegan panna cotta. Their pasta is always delicious and it's a great way to enjoy some excellent Italian dishes without meat or dairy.

Latham House serves great food with generous portions and the desserts are always fantastic which makes it a perfect place to go for Restaurant Week  - it's the full package and if you're not someone who typically orders dessert, it's well worth it to take advantage of this deal to do so.

Satis Bistro has a special prix fixe menu available during the week, but the one for Restaurant Week has expanded menu options and with the quality of their food, it feels more special. It's definitely a menu where you feel like you're getting the most bang for your buck.

Edward's Steakhouse is one of the few steakhouses in Jersey City and one of the most-loved in the area. Restaurant Week is an ideal time to experience a classic steakhouse meal while keeping the price tag in check.

Reminders
Some places only offer the special prix-fixe menus on specific days, so make sure you check before making your plans and reservations are always recommended.

Find a place where the discounts are worth it or you're going to get to try a dish that you might not otherwise. Don't go someplace where you're only going to save a dollar or two -you might as well go any other time and get exactly what you want rather than be limited to the set menu.

Enjoy!
