Let me start off by saying that I greatly admire the restaurants that are participating in KRLD Dallas Restaurant Week. Diners get enjoy over 120 of the area’s best restaurants as they offer special three-course dinner menus for only $35 (beverage, tax and gratuity not included). For each dinner served, $7 will benefit the North Texas Food Bank and Lena Pope Home.
It also gives you an opportunity to try the cuisine at restaurants that you would be hesitant to try simply due to the cost of fine dining. We would never have known how wonderful Cadot Restaurant is or how over-rated Abacus is without this service.
There is a dichotomy between how restaurants approach Restaurant Week, however. The first half see this week as an opportunity to attract new patrons and to help their Karma. They serve fine quality food as you would find it normally on their menu. The second half see this as a pain in the ass and participate simply because of peer pressure and serve less than stellar offerings.
Stephen Pyles has selected the latter path and we were .... underwhelmed by their offerings.

You neglect the 3rd path: the path of a restaurant that strives to strike a balance between path 1 and the path of sustained, moderately profitable operation.
