Select restaurants will offer special 3 course prix-fixe, $20.13 for lunch, $30.13 for dinner, "plus additional SPG member savings". I'm hoping that means the additional SPG bar and restaurant discount, which is 15% at my usual hotel.
Unfortunately it doesn't appear that they've listed the menu online. Facebook says "over 75" participating restaurants, but the venue list on the site only lists 69.
Same problem here, I was trying to get more info about local restaurants and there is no menu or any sort of additional info. I am wondering if the properties are even aware of it.

I clicked through to book one of the participating restaurants and it doesn't say anything about $20.13. I guess I'll have to call the restaurant, but what are the chances they don't have a clue about this?

The site says that the W in DC is participating. So I called up the W in DC and even the manager there has no clue about this promotion. They said maybe there is a restaurant week in late February.
So I called the SPG Plat line and the rep went off to check. Then she said that the website isn't working yet. I reminded her that it was the restaurant itself that isn't aware of this. She went off again to check and came back and asked me which restaurant. I told her and she said she would take care of it and I should try again later.

In trying to see the 69 or the 65 in the USA, it's extremely frustrating to have to hit the show more button repeatedly. Why can't I just see the entire list in one click? It's not like being forced to wait will cause me to fly a thousand miles to dine at a restaurant that I notice while waiting.

Called Ardour (St. Regis' restaurant in DC), manager had no idea about Starwood Restaurant Month, even though Ardour is listed as participating.
Lurkers, any special reason for all of the confusion? We now have reports that both D.C. restaurants (Ardour and J&G at the W) marked as participating have no idea that this promotion exists.
Yesterday was my first time checking into a Sheraton and they had this restaurant promo going on. The front desk clerk who was new even knew about it. This is in Burlington, VT but the hotel wasn't that great.
...Lurkers, any special reason for all of the confusion?...
I'm not sure how I would be expected to know this, but my best guess is that perhaps there was a breakdown in communication?
I can tell you that every complaint is being noted, as usual, and forwarded on to the proper folks for their follow up. To wit, I discovered that Adour will not be participating, so that may help to explain their lack of knowledge concerning it.

FWIW DC Restaurant week is 2/4-2/10, and both Adour and J&G (W's restaurant) are both participating. Get your reservations now, though. It's also a little more expensive (35.13 for 3 course).
And to be a food snob, I was a little underwhelmed with both places. J&G unforgiveably overcooked my steak.

That's DC Restaurant week. Not the same thing as SPG Restaurant Month. And it is a fixed price so all restaurants have the same price. At least according to what Starwood is advertising. Maybe they screwed it up and got it all wrong though?
I made a reservation at both DC restaurants for early February. We'll see what happens.
