"warranted" often means "justifiable".
e.g. His reaction to the small transport delay was not warranted - it was out of proportion to the problem.
e.g. If you get bad service in a restaurant, complaining to the manager is warranted.
It's a formal word.

Warranted or advised. Like to be careful as there are other factors that may make it not a good place or activity depending on the sentence.
