I only posted happy hour specials I found or could verify on restaurant websites. But, keep in mind that websites could be out of date, so if you are planning on making a special trip you could always call ahead and verify.

Brio: $2.95 Tuscan Taster Bar Menu. Available Monday-Friday from 3:30-6:30pm.

I have some very good news! Fleming’s has given us a $100 gift card to giveaway to one lucky Eat2WinRaleigh reader! We went to Fleming’s for our Anniversary and had an absolutely incredible meal, so I know the winner is in for a real treat!

If you didn’t know, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar is located at Crabtree Valley Mall, in between Brio and McCormick & Schmicks. You can view the Fleming’s menu here.

Fleming’s has recently introduced some new specials and menu items that we want to let you know about:

Fleming’s Small Plates Menu:

Fleming’s has added 7 new small plate dishes to their menu that blend Asian influences with European flavors. These smaller plates provide lighter, healthier options. Here are the small plates (don’t they sound amazing?!):

Sliced Filet Mignon on shiitake risotto, chili oil, drizzled with porcini butter
Jumbo Shrimp Scampi Skewers with chimichurri dipping sauce and avocado citrus salad
New Zealand Petite Lamb Chops with pistachio-mint pesto, “F-17” sauce, and polenta fries
Ahi Tuna Skewers with wasabi aioli, sweet tomato vinaigrette, and homemade wonton chips
New Bedford Scallops with meyer lemon-honey glaze, baby carrots, green beans, and asparagus
Filet Mignon Skewers with gorgonzola-bacon fondue, mozzarella and sweet tomato salad
Fleming’s Lobster Tempura with soy-ginger dipping sauce, arugula, jicama and apple salad

Fleming’s October Breast Cancer Awareness Month Special:

Fleming’s is supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month with their 99 calorie “Stiletto” cocktail. 100% of the proceeds of this drink will be donated to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade.

Fleming’s “Memorable Meal” Special:

Fleming’s “Memorable Meal” special is being offered now through November 15th. It’s a $99 dinner for two (or $49.50 dinner for one) which includes an appetizer, entree, side and dessert.

Fleming’s “5 for $6 ’til 7″ Bar Menu:

This bar menu includes 5 appetizers, 5 cocktails and 5 wines from the Fleming’s 100 each priced at $6 and served 5pm to 7pm 7 nights a week. You can view the menu here. The Stiletto cocktail for Breast Cancer Awareness is on the menu, along with a 2 for $6 Widmer Brothers Hefeweizen. We added Fleming’s Happy Hour special to our list of events, so you won’t forget!

Upromise: Save Money at Raleigh Restaurants

eat2winraleigh — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 16:42:16 +0000

I wanted to remind you about Upromise, in case you haven’t signed up yet. You can read more about Upromise in my article about how to save money at restaurants, but basically Upromise is a government backed program to save money for college. You don’t HAVE to use the money for college expenses, but the money you save is kept in an account for you and you can either use it for college or you can ask for a check any time. I just received an email that I got $2 deposited in my account for eating at a restaurant on vacation that I had no idea was on the Upromise restaurant list.

Upromise has a dining bonus going on right now through the end of August. If you eat at two Upromise restaurants and pay using one of the credit cards you have registered with Upromise, you will get an extra $10 deposited in your Upromise account.

Some Upromise Raleigh Restaurants:

Wasabi
Coldstone Creamery
Ba Da Wings
Bella Monica
Solas
The Diner

You can head over to the Upromise restaurant search to find more restaurants in the Raleigh area.

Upromise is such an easy and free program you can use to help you save money at restaurants. If you haven’t signed up yet, head over to Upromise to check it out.
