I recently celebrated my seventh wedding anniversary and the hubby and I celebrated with two different, equally fabulous dinners.

Downtown Dining Week done right, done wrong
Downtown Dining Week can be an awesome promotion. When a restaurant gets it right, it has the power to bring in new customers and make them repeat patrons. On the other hand, when a restaurant isn't set up to handle the event, things can go horribly wrong.

Downtown Dining Week: Bayou
As expected, Bayou's lunch was authentically spicy and flavorful. Starting the meal with a Cajun caesar salad, Bayou's twist on this classic kicks up summer heat with a blackened Cajun seasoning contrasted by crisp, cool lettuce and rich parmesan cheese.

Downtown Dining Week: Kil@wat
Known for a fine dining menu prepared by Executive Chef Robert Ash, the low-price "Downtown Dining" concept is ideal for restaurants like Kil@wat. Lowering the restaurant's typical price point, you can enjoy the quality experience for a fraction of the price during "Downtown Dining Week."

Downtown Dining Week: Sake Tumi
Arriving for lunch at noon, the narrow Milwaukee Street restaurant was packed and we opted to sit at the sushi bar in lieu of waiting for a table. Between the two of us, co-worker Erin Ulicki and I, we ordered one of everything on the three course "Downtown Dining Menu."
