Quite astonishing decor, and an elegantly served and imaginative meal. On our last visit, we ordered several starters rather than main courses, which made it less expensive.
Based on the terms & conditions, there is no minimum spend. However, I won't be able to confirm until I get my AmEx statement, and the promotion will be over by then.

I definitely considered a nice place like The Russian Tea Room, but I ended up going with an idine place (Crave on 42nd). Just couldn't resist getting paid to eat AND earn miles!
