New price points have been added to Charlotte Restaurant Week to reflect higher food and operating costs, and the number of participating restaurants has increased.

“We hope diners will explore new dining destinations and rediscover those favorite spots they may have missed over the last couple of years,” said Bruce Hensley, a partner in Hensley Fontana Public Relations, which owns and operates the promotion.

In short, here are the details:

When: Friday, Jan. 21 to Sunday, Jan. 30.
