As much as The Orchard Residences was a nice place to live for a year, I have little desire to go to Salt Grill and Sky Bar. I have been there more than enough times. The view is nice, but I don't think they represent good "value" as either drinking or dining establishments.
FWIW, It would actually be cheaper and better for a HGP Diamond to book a room at the Hyatt with no intention of using the room, purely to get themselves + guests into the grand club, which has a slightly less inspiring view, but free flowing drinks and better staff than Sky Bar...
YMMV.

a la carte could be cheaper depending what you order. It could also be more expensive.
But most people would like a drink, which then adds to the bill as drinks aren't free... You might theoretically be able to do it for $50, but I would allow double that as a rough guess.
You could do Din Tai Fung in Wisma for $20-$25 a head (+ drinks).
We could go without the drinks if costs are an issue for our esteemed guests, but dinner will still remain at the imperial treasure.
My budget estimate of $50 a pop still remains, it really depends on what you order as well. My recent adventures have yielded around the range of $37-48 a person. I will also be bringing wine for the table as well so that's covered.
