It's a time to be out with friends and having a blast ... but I would never review a restaurant on the basis of a visit on one of these days, which underscores the opinion that most eateries simply aren't going to show their best under that kind of pressure.

P.S. If I were a high-roller coming in to drop some serious cash, I would be all over the Oak Room deal.

How much is the Oakroom's <i>prix fixe</i>? Bear in mind that their regular <i>prix fixe</i> isn't cheap, but - as reported in my recent review - it is awesome.
