First Selectman Mike Tetreau said, “Fairfield is pleased to host this popular town-wide event which has quickly become an annual tradition, celebrating Fairfield’s wide variety of quality restaurants. Restaurant Week gives the public the opportunity to continue visiting favorite places or frequent ones they may not yet know about. This week-long event is another way the Town can show its support for our local businesses, help our local economy and provide people with an enjoyable dining out experience.”
Bankwell Senior Vice-President Robert Palermo said, “We are excited to again take part in this community event, and I look forward—like everyone else—to sampling the best that Fairfield restaurants have to offer.” First Selectman Tetreau added, “We are very appreciative of Bankwell’s continued support of Fairfield Restaurant Week. Thanks to this outstanding community partner, the Town will be able to hold another successful Restaurant Week!”
