While I wouldn't go so far as to say some of these are a rip off, the few menus I looked at show no savings or value whatsoever. First of all, while Skillet is good, it's not $30 good especially when I can eat at the Refectory for the exact same price. For for the Surly Girl to be charging $20 for dinner & a cupcake is insulting. If DOC wants its fans to support it, they need to consider tempting us with some real value here.
I've never thought the deals were that great as well. In fact, the few times I have gone during restaurant weeks(more happenstance than planning for it) I have never ordered from the special menu. I think what adds to this is we don't eat nor order desert ever, which is normally included in the special menu, i'd rather have a different course or lower price.
