Restaurant Week Grand Rapids has moved to a new summer timeframe in 2012 – August 15 through 25 – to capture the essence of the local West Michigan harvest. Participating restaurants are excited to be able to showcase their 3-course dinners at $25 per person – or 2 people-for-$25 with a farm-to-table emphasis.
