I guess that's my question: where are these restaurants?...
We were at the JW Marriott Resort on Phuket in Thailand last Dec and the food there was somewhat expensive. We used the two certs we had for the Andaman Grill, which is their high end resto. On the $300 night the big expense was some fancy Waygu steaks we had - $100 per steak. The second time around we had steak and lobster. The food was wonderful and we absolutely knew it would be worth the cost of the certs. We never would have splashed out like that if it had been full price out of our own pockets.
We are heading for London in a couple of months and probably won't get the certs again. Fewer courses now, and Pearl Restaurant at the Renaissance Chancery Court where we plan on staying is excluded.
