dinner special

Today's featured dish

A dinner special is a featured meal offered by a restaurant at a reduced price or as that day's highlighted dish.

Specials change regularly—daily or weekly—and often showcase seasonal ingredients or let the kitchen experiment: The dinner special tonight is pan-seared salmon with asparagus.

They're typically announced on a board or recited by the server.
