Punta Dura - Daring to be Different for Queens Restaurant Week

Punta Dura is doing things a bit differently for Queens Restaurant Week, and they're certainly standing out. Instead of a Monday - Friday offering, they're changing things up with a Tuesday - Sunday promotion from 10/6 - 10/18. I got a hold of their menu below, which sounds scrumptious (the fish is highly recommend).

Punta Dura Restaurant Week Menu - $25 per person, prix-fixe

Appetizers (choice of one)

Vegetarian Split Pea Soup - Topped with homemade croutons
Caesar Salad - Romaine lettuce, homemade croutons and Caesar dressing
Fried Calamari - Lightly fried calamari served with marinara sauce

Chicken Scarpiello - Sausage, white wine & fresh rosemary served with chef's selection of seasonal vegetables

Another cool feature is Punta Dura on Opentable - you can make your reservation directly on the site and get dining points. I'm sold...are you?
