More than three dozen restaurants across the region will participate in the Miami Valley Restaurant Association’s 2016 Winter Restaurant Week that starts this Sunday, Jan. 24, and runs through the following Sunday, Jan. 31.

The eight-day promotion allows diners at those participating restaurants to enjoy a special three-course meal priced at $20.16, $25.16 or $30.16. A handful of sports bars and other casual restaurants are offering two-for-one specials at one of those price points. And $1 from each meal goes to local non-profit organizations.

The following is a list of the businesses scheduled to participate in the 2016 Miami Valley Restaurant Associations’ Winter Restaurant Week. Please note — this list of participating restaurants is subject to change and reservations may be required from some participating locations. Many restaurants are closed on Sunday or Monday (or both), so calling ahead is always recommended for details, hours, menu and reservations information. Also, remember that tax, tip and beverages are not included in the special $20.16, $25.16 or $30.16 price.

Amy Zahora, executive director of the Miami Valley Restaurant Association, identified at least seven first-time participants this year: Roost Modern Italian, Packy’s Sports Bar and Grill, Trolley Stop, Park City Club, SG 75 Gastro Pub, Doc’s Place in Lebanon and Mela’s Urban Bistro in Springfield.
