After the success of the University of Hartford Dining Services’ first Restaurant Night held at Commons, they’re back at it again with another one next week Thursday.

The first Restaurant Night was held Feb. 3 in the Commons Private Dining Room and received rave reviews from all those who attended. After the event, surveys were sent to those who participated and almost all of them rated it at least a nine on a 10-point scale in terms of their overall satisfaction.

This time, the event will be on Thursday night since many students were walking by and saying that they wanted to attend, but couldn’t because of classes.

It will also have an Italian menu that will include chicken parm and homemade fettuccine, two highly requested items from students.

“With having one under our belt, the next one we’re going to knock out of the park,” dining services marketing manager Shannon Mumley said.

Another highly requested change for the event is that participants will have the ability to select their seating when they sign up, instead of being seated by the host.

According to the Eventbrite listings for both time slots of next week’s event, it is already sold out. However, be on the lookout for another Restaurant Night event near the end of March. Sign up quickly because as these two events have shown, seats will sell out fast.

“It was so much fun getting out of the box that we’re always in and seeing the students get really excited about it,” Mumley said. “We want to give that experience to the students because a lot of them don’t have cars and they don’t have the money to afford it. They have a meal plan, why not give them this experience?”
