Yes, I totally forgotten to mention those two important facts! <b>Danny:</b> Hmm...after eating RW for the past three years, it ain't too bad. Most tend to be good and a few are mediocre experiences. Food options are limited, so if you're really interested in a certain restaurant, just email them and ask for a copy of their menu so you'll know if they have want you want to eat.

I admit, it is a lot of fun to get a group of friends together and have an excuse to go to a restaurant that we would not normally visit. do you think it is a worthwhile experience? i tend to get the feeling from nymag and eater that those publications hate on RW since the food options are so limited.

I would also caution people not to dine at places that have an inexpensive prix fixed menu year-round. Also, I'd mention that you often can't reserve RW tables on Opentable, as the restaurant will hold back those tables. You'll need to get on speed dial the moment their books open for the date you want. Nobu and USC aren't bad restaurants per se, just that they have menus that haven't changed in years (or decades). What once was new and exciting us now old hat. And nowadays every Japanese place in town is serving Nobu's signature dishes! Great post!
