It’s fairly common to spend $50 per person for a three-course dinner, but a Park Ridge restaurant is offering dinner for two for that same price during Mayor Maloney’s Restaurant Week.

Many restaurants are offering specials during the “week” — it’s actually longer and lasts through March 10— organized by the Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce to boost restaurants’ business during a slower time of year. Restaurants are offering prix fixe menus, free appetizers or desserts or 10 or 15% off your check.
