Yup, it’s American Heart Month. On Tuesday February 8th, a number of San Francisco restaurants are participating in the Institute on Aging’s Dinner à la Heart. Restaurants will hold tables for Dinner à la Heart, and diners reserve these tables (through the Dinner à la Heart Hotline)—proceeds from the meal price ultimately act as a donation. Some restaurants offer dinner for $60 per person, like Le P’tit Laurent, while others like Gary Danko go up to $175 per person—you can see the list of participating restaurants here. Call the Dinner à la Heart Hotline to reserve a table (415-750-3443) or make reservations online.
