I found the New Haven restaurant week menus on the Connecticut Restaurant Week website:

Thanks Chris for sharing…
Seems like every time this promotion is offered the price keeps going up. $18/lunch and $32/dinner plus tax and tip is not much of an incentive to try a new restaurant, which I think was the original intent of the program to begin with.
@Allen Nather: actually this is the first time the prices have gone up since New Haven Restaurant week first started. Given that food prices have been skyrocketing, I think it’s reasonable that restaurants are increasing their prices so they don’t go broke!
New Haven has pretty awesome restaurants, just as good if not better than ones in NYC and Boston – and just as a comparison, for Boston restaurant week for 3 course lunch is $20.12, dinner is $33.12

Jane,
With all due respect, you are incorrect about the pricing of Restaurant Weeks past. In 2010 and 2011 lunch was $16.38(for the year New Haven was founded) and dinner was $29.00. I don’t begrudge restaurants for trying to make a profit, that’s what they’re in business to do. I owned one and never did figure out how to balance putting out a quality product with what people are willing(or able) to pay. It’s a difficult business. I hope the good ones all prosper and I always support those that offer good value for the price.
