While I'd love not having to worry and think about dinner expenses while there, this seems like pretty bad value? I looked through the tasting table menu and it's actually quite hard to hit $150 on a 3 course meal unless you go straight for the most expensive options every day, which limits the options to select from. You also immediately lose $30 value at other restaurants, which we did want to try.
It will be pretty hard to hit 150pp at tasting table, but their food is excellent, you can go on a sunset fishing trip, and use the credit to have tasting table prepare the fish for you, I think it was around $70 a person, no matter how many fish you catch/prepare.
