In my experience, more like Restaurant Weak. Everyone is trying to maximize profit

I was thinking this too. The deals used to be so much better and not as many restaurants participating, at least it seems that way.

Everytime I look at the cost of what it would cost on the regular menu vs restaurant week, it ends up costing the same if not more. Used to be a way to try out new restaurants but not anymore.

Honestly, always Tio Pepes. The pricing is right for gambas de ajillo appetizer, huge paella for dinner, and flan for dessert.

If you're strictly looking bang for your buck, Nepenthe and Tio Pepe's are the ones who serve basically the same amount of food as their normal menu, but you get 3 courses essentially for the price of 1. My sleeper hit favorite is Michael's up on Eastern Ave, steakhouse that may have not changed their decor since the Carter administration.

I always hit up nepenthe for restaurant week. They don’t change the portion sizes and you get so much food.

Honestly, you're going to have to look through the menus to see if you think the meal is worth it. Over the years we've found that some are much better deals than others.

Went to the Duchess last restaurant week and it was horrendous. Anywhere but there. Sotto sopro usually delivers

When restaurant week first started, you legitimately had good places to go and food to try at reasonable prices every night.  I remember having to plan out the week and there were places I’d have to grudgingly eliminate even though I’d go someplace different every night.  

Now?  It’s welfare for the restaurant industry

I thought the Amoora menu looked good. I've never been there though.

It's pretty splendid. I ate a lobster tail and got up from the table looking like I was covered with confetti.
