how about an alternate point of view? I always try to go 1 or 2 nites to restaurant week--why? because normally these venues are out of my budget and I always get to go somewhere Ive never been--I have actually found a few restaurants that I returned to and really enjoyed. Also, the RW menu I had the other night actually offered several upgrades and offered the regular menu.
For those of us who cant afford to splurge that often, its very nice, and I think its very smart because it gets us regular folk hooked on their place
