LOMPOC, Calif. (KEYT) – The Lompoc Chamber of Commerce is highlighting two new options for dining out during this year’s Restaurant Week.
There are plenty of cozy indoor options.
New leaders at the Lompoc Valley Chamber of Commerce say locals eagerly anticipate Restaurant Week every year, and this year there are two new options.
“Hangar 7” is doing well under new ownership, and the Village Inn is housing newcomer restaurant “Dave’s Place.”
“One of our most popular events,” says Melanie Lindley, executive director for Lompoc Valley Chamber Of Commerce. “People are really excited about Restaurant Week. We get a lot of interest. They look forward to the menus coming out and, I think our phone ringing off the hook Monday on a holiday with the interest for that.”
Restaurants both locally owned and franchisees participate in Lompoc Restaurant Week, serving culinarily creative meal and libation options.
“We going to be offering one of our newest items, which is our steak frites,” says Juan Magana, Hangar 7’s new owner. “That is a terrace major, which is similar to a filet mignon that, is, grilled up, served over french fries, and then we put a chimichurri on it. The other one is we have what we call our Garden State pizza for vegetarians. And then we also do our Tamarindo wings. They’re very unique. They’re very different. Those wings are jumbo wings. They are, lightly fried and then tossed in our Tamarindo sauce and then topped off with a little bit of Tajin.”
At participating locations, $20.26 can buy options including a meal for one, two-for-one, a special event, or wine (or beer) flights with pairings.
“Our menu has changed,” says Magana. “We’ve added quite a few more items, we do live music on Saturdays, I’ve incorporated some more seating.”
Restaurants serve these specials for the whole week, and the event lasts through sunday.
And families can escape this week’s rainstorms with indoor spaces available at all locations.
“The rain has been a lot,” says Lindley. “But I think people still really are excited about it. The menu options are exciting, and I think that people are willing to hopefully weather the storm and get out there and support our local restaurants.”
Restaurant owners say this week’s rainstorms may have played a part in boosting business so far this week, as much as the specials offered.
There are five days left for Lompoc Restaurant Week, and everyone is invited out to try something new or revisit a favorite.
