Im being taken out and I can choose anywhere.... and was told don't worry about price... pick anywhere I want...
Where would you recommend?
Its not a loaded question...just have an opportunity to try a place Id never usually try due to price.......
Initial thoughts were: Amber, Café Grey, Landmark Grill,

Good choice^ Funny when I had dinner there 2 years ago, the fois gras was the only item on the buffet line, "without" Chinese character translation. 
coincidence?
I would have dim sum in any of the the Michelin Star rated ones. I believe Four Seasons would be on top on my TDL, as I will be there again 2x next month.

It all depends on the context, there is more to enjoyment than price or even food quality. For romantic ambiance I'd pick Felix (top of Peninsula hotel) even though it isn't even the best food at the Peninsula. For absolute food quality, Lung King Heen (4S) is unquestionable it. For price/performance, my favourite is Ming Court (Cordis Mong Kok) which is a lowly 2 Michelin stars 
Great value and some fine food quality particularly in their signature dishes.

I'd go to Tin Lung Heen for lunch and Lung King Heen for dinner. You can look down and then up at where you were although the view at Tin Lung Heen is towards the harbour and not the city so that's why I'd go there for lunch. The best view from the ritz restaurants is not from Tin Lung Heen.

I wouldn't think of the Michelin chinese restaurants for a splurge dinner as (to my taste) I can have similar food in cheaper places.
Instead I would recommend Pierre, Amber or Caprice. Better for wine options and pairing as well.

As far as Pierre, Amber or Caprice - which one would you choose of the 3?

My philosophy on this is that HK is the only place on the planet that you can get 3* Chinese food and service. If you want a 3* European/Continental restaurant, they are available in many parts of the world, including the US. If you're not going to be back in HK for a while, you might want to experience something unique to HK.

I was thinking same thing....these sound like wonderful choices and because of the lower price point, I am going to take the suggestions and take myself there instead of picking one of them for the dinner...
As far as Pierre, Amber or Caprice - which one would you choose of the 3?

if that was your request, i dont see why someone would go to the chairman or fook lam moon over lung king heen or tin lung heen if price is no object.
they are IMO "THAT" much better!!
had you said, where should i go for the best value dinner then perhaps i would have chimed in with some alternatives. like the chairman....which is a very very nice and tasty place but no view, kind of in a grungy area and not very fancy...
what a waste of time. obviously money is an object.
