I enjoyed my last visit to Westophers place for sure it's too bad we tend to have the same days off lol. Come visit when you have time, as usual, RS hookups

Usually I'm pretty unbiased. A long long time ago I used to be on the same boat as the "OMG let's book all the fancy popular restaurants ASAP" and have been mostly disappointed. Most of these places basically slash the portion sizes of their a la carte dishes giving you the impression it's cheaper. Also they are serving the same item enmass so it's not the freshest meal.
However there are some hidden gems to be had, some places that are looking to showcase the chefs creativity and/or really are good deals.

Personally I have been disappointed by the entire Glowbal chain. Over the years I've unfortunately been to all of them. Coast was the worst.

Off the top of my head:
Hawksworth was very good.
Joe Fortes was worth it.
AnnaLena was not worth it IMO portions were rabbit portions.
La Terreza was so-so

The last few years Ebisu Robson has really stepped it up with some brand new dishes for Dine-Out. It's a chance for the chefs to be creative with a 3-course meal that we normally don't offer the rest of the year.
