Ontario, California – The Greater Ontario Convention & Visitors Bureau has announced the return of Inland Empire Restaurant Week.  August 12 thru August 25, 2016 save gas and avoid traffic by exploring a variety of great tastes in the Inland Empire.  There’s no need to travel out of the area to enjoy a great culinary experience, visit an old favorite or find a new hidden gem.

Support our local economy by spending your dollars at I.E. dining establishments and new upstart restaurants – Eat, stay and play locally with a twist.  In addition to a traditional multi-course prix-fixe menu model, restaurants may also choose to offer their signature special such as either a free appetizer, dessert or a glass of wine with the purchase of an entrée, a 2 for 1 or a percentage off of the total bill.  This expanded model allows restaurants to participate in a way that best works for them, showcasing offerings and creative menus to attract new customers.

An example of a favorite I.E. dining location is The Pines, and recently  some changes to their menu with a focus on FARM to FORK provides an excellent reason to dine out.  The newly remodeled Pines Modern Steakhouse and Nightclub at San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino is fabulous.  Savor the flavors and freshness of farm to fork cuisine in the modern sophistication and elegance. Dine from a revamped and updated dinner menu featuring cutting-edge flavors and dishes. Organic and locally sourced produce, along with an exclusive brand of top choice, wet-aged, premium USDA Prime beef and the freshest and finest seafood delivered daily creates an indelible dining experience unparalleled in the Inland Empire.  The extensive wine list housing some of the world’s most magnificent wines has been crafted to complement the flavors and excitement of the extraordinary new menu.  Along with the finest wines and whiskies available, the newly re-launched Pines features an ultra-modern decor and showcases some of the hottest DJs performing while you dine on some of the finest fine dining in Southern California.  Open 7 days a week from 5pm – 10pm The Pines should be added to your “must do” list.
