Do we go to a new place or the "same-ol-same-ol"?

Today is a day I look forward to all year long. We're going to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert. When the concert was scheduled on a Saturday we'd go to Chinatown for dinner beforehand, then hit the concert. Well, now the concert is on Sunday so we go to the early show and have dinner afterwards. We've always gone to this same restaurant that me and my sister found one time. It's great! The food is great, the drinks are great, it's very close to the Verizon Center and the metro, the prices are good. So it's like a tradition now. But every year we wonder if we should try someplace new. Do we risk it? I mean we could go someplace else and have terrible food, horrible service and end up paying an arm and a leg for it. Or we might find someplace else that's just as awesome or better! We will be in Chinatown so there's TONS of oriental places, but on the other side of the center is just about everything else you could want. So would you go with the same place or try someplace new? (I'm kinda in the mood for Italian... but I love this other place....)
