DETROIT (Tell Us Det) - The kick off celebration of Detroit Restaurant Week began Wednesday night at Cliff Bell’s one of the première restaurants featured in the weeklong event that begins September 23 and runs through October 2nd

A diverse crowd of young professionals from all over the metro area came out in search of a fine dining experience with an affordable price, which is exactly what Dana Boyette, a representative for Detroit Restaurant Week, was hoping for: To shine a light on some of Detroit’s best kept secrets in fine dining.

Mr. Boyette spoke of the growth of the event since its beginning in 2009 when it started with only 16 restaurants all of which were located in downtown Detroit, but now the event has grown to 21 restaurants, including some in the Palmer Park area of Detroit.

A large part of the event’s success is the $28 dollar price for a three course dinner at one of the participating establishments.

Detroiters Herb and Danielle Sanders said “Detroit Restaurant week is a fantastic opportunity for people in the metro area to come together and learn what Detroit has to offer.”
