Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week: 3 in Butler County have deals

Several local restaurants have been participating in Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week, which runs through Sunday.

The Journal-News spoke with Kathryn Rawlinson, vice president of marketing and communications at the Travel Butler County visitors bureau, who shared about what’s happening at some of the restaurants in the area.

Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week is an all-ages event for the most part, though some are 21 and older only. Participating venues in Butler County feature 3-course prix fixe menus for $26, $36 and $46. One dollar from every meal purchased will go to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.

Diners can download the Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week app to map restaurant visits, view real-time updates and more.

Q: Can you tell us about the variety of restaurant choices in Butler County?

Rawlinson: Butler County has an array of incredible dining choices featuring a variety of cuisines. Three Butler County restaurants are participating in this year’s Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week, Jag’s Steak & Seafood, Kona Grill and Matt the Miller’s Tavern.

Q: Why is restaurant week a good time to try out one of the restaurants in the area?

A: I always encourage new dining experiences, whether that be a new restaurant or a cuisine you may not have tried before. Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week is the perfect time to enjoy incredible deals on 3-course menus of popular favorites as well as specials created specifically for restaurant week.

Q: Why would you encourage community members to support/visit the restaurants in the area?

A: We are fortunate to have such amazing dining options in the area. I hope that Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week inspires and encourages visitors and community members alike to enjoy a new dining experience and support local businesses.

Q Will any Butler County restaurants run specials during Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week?

A: Jag’s Steak & Seafood, Kona Grill, and Matt the Miller’s Tavern will all be offering specials featuring 3-course menus. Some of the menu items include C.A.B. Filet Mignon, Rhubarb Glazed Pork Belly, Poke Bowls, Sweet Chili Glazed Salmon, Risotto Tots, and Coconut Key Lime Pie - which all sound delicious.

Q: Dining out can provide us with different experiences depending on the restaurant. Why is this a good time to try something new?

A: In addition to Greater Cincinnati Restaurant Week, the month of April is National Food Month making this the perfect time to try something new. Talented local chefs have thoughtfully prepared a variety of 3-course menus that I’m sure will introduce diners to a new favorite restaurant or dish in the area.
