To be fair the restaurant is very good here and I feel £45 for dinner for two is good value, however I’ve never booked this rate before and wondered what’s the general concept? ...... is it starter/main / dessert.....is wine included ( probably not I guess ) ....or do they all differ and I need to call them.
Haven't stayed at that hotel, but In my experience at other Hiltons, it's sometimes a special 3 course dinner menu for inclusive dinner rates or it's an allowance of about £25 per person off the a la carte menu. £40 for one extra dinner seems excessive, £45 for two dinners is good value. Problem is that dinner inclusive rates normally include breakfast as well, to which you are entitled as a Diamond member, so they're not always good value for Gold and Diamond members.
