Don't Bother!
We went last night and were very disappointed.
The RW menu is very "dumbed down" and I have never felt so rushed during a meal at a "nice place". We had barely finished our starter course when the entrees were delivered - wait staff had to juggle plates to pick up and put down.(Someone posted about steak houses that don't even have a small steak on the RW menu - this was true here.)
We were still in the middle of dessert when the server ATTEMPTED to drop off the check.
If the restaurants don't want restaurant week customers - DON'T DO IT!
We are all professionals who eat out regularly and often use RW as an indicator of places we would come back to - not Al Biernat's!

We went on Friday and had a great time. Boy, was that place packed! I was pleased with all aspects of the meal. I do agree that the menu was simple. But, after a Nobu and Bijoux, I was kind of ready to get back to the basics. I didn't feel rushed at all. I guess we got lucky with a better team of servers.

We enjoyed Al's on thursday evening 8/16. Not rushed at all- good Restaurant wk selections- great help from the sommelier who also spent extra time with us. Food was so good my wife took home a doggie bag which she never does.

That was my experience a few years ago at Al Biernat's during RW. All participating restaurants should take a clue from Abacus. They know how to treat their customers and make them want to come BACK.

Dined at two RW spots this last week. By far, Pappas Brothers was excellent. Their special wine selections for RW were amazing. The 10oz filet was perfect.
