Well of course. One cannot avoid taxes. And no $30 meal is going to come with tip included.
Speaking of the tip, I would ask people to remember that at many of these places, the servers will be busting their humps for huge crowds ordering dinners that cost a lot less than normal, so if the service is good, tip them well.

Capital Grille is pretty awesome. Of all of the larger "chain" steak restaurants, CG and BLT are my personal faves, the exact opposite of Ruths Chris, who I see is also participating...I wouldn't pay $30 for a non-restaurant week meal there.

Personally, while I love the concept, I find many places to be too crowded during Restaurant Week - places can be packed, staff can be overwhelmed and reservations may be seated late - so we'll be heading to Fig Tree (who does not participate) for dinner next weekend to avoid the crush.
