The Price is Right... Or Is It?
First off, let's get the obvious out of the way: it's not cheap. Expect to pay a pretty penny for your meal. But hey, you're not just eating food, are you? You're experiencing the Hell's Kitchen brand. It's like paying extra for the privilege of being yelled at by a virtual Gordon Ramsay (minus the actual yelling, hopefully).
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
That said, the food is supposedly top-notch. So, if you're a foodie willing to splurge, and you're okay with the possibility of your waiter looking at you like you've committed a culinary crime if you ask for ketchup, then maybe it's worth it.
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
What Do You Actually Get?
You'll probably get a fancy dining experience. White tablecloths, maybe some fancy silverware, and hopefully, a waiter who won't make you feel like a complete idiot for not knowing the difference between a sommelier and a sommelier's assistant. But let's be real, the main attraction is the food.
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.

Expect dishes that look like they belong in a modern art gallery and taste like they were kissed by the gods. Or something like that. I haven't been, so I can't say for sure. But judging by the show, they take their food very seriously.
Tip: Focus on clarity, not speed.
Is It Worth It?
Ultimately, whether or not Hell's Kitchen is worth the price is up to you. If you're a die-hard fan of the show and you have the money to spare, then go for it. But if you're just looking for a good meal, there are plenty of other great restaurants out there that won't make you feel like a contestant on a reality TV show.
Remember: Even if you can't afford to dine at Hell's Kitchen, you can always pretend you're a contestant while cooking at home. Just don't yell at your food. It won't respond.
