"Is Rao's Worth the Wait?"
From the Las Vegas Review-Journal's food critic Heidi Knapp Rinella:
"The original Rao's in New York's East Harlem, which has been in the same family for more than 100 years, is a notoriously tough reservation. It seats about 50, and since many longtime regulars have standing reservations, even the high and mighty, the rich and powerful, the famous who are famous only for being famous, find it as difficult to get a table as you and I would, bucky.
And then a second, 250-seat Rao's opened last winter at Caesars Palace. Finally, it'll be easy to get in, right?
No, we learned when we were able to get a reservation two weeks out; the place is just busy. As we waited to be seated, we watched as party after party without reservations were turned away because they didn't want to eat in the bar.
So, the question arises: Is it worth it?"
