The reservation was for 7:30 for 4; despite being on time, we were not seated til 8:15. I'm not sure how this goes, exactly -- whether there are just some patrons who linger and there's nothing to be done, or whether it's indicative of poor planning. They were friendly about it, and said they would come get us upstairs when the table was ready. Unfortunately, I was starving when I got there, so I continued to starve while we waited.
After sitting down at our table (and being thanked for our patience), we finally got to order. I had already perused the RW menu in the same way I did the Kushi RW menu, and determined that at Smith Commons, the RW deal is probably akin to getting the dessert and one drink free (depending on what you order). I have been eating a lot of chicken lately, so I went all beef: beef carpaccio, beef burger, and if there had been a beef dessert I probably would have ordered that too. As it was, I decided on the lava cake.
