This rule has always been a little hard for me to fathom.
I, for one, could guarantee Bill Marriott that I'd arrange far more customer lunches (not to mention breakfasts and dinners) in his hotel restaurants if I could get some points out of the deal.

You only get points if you are a registered guest at the hotel.
By the way, I personally thought the restaurant was poorly staffed and the food mediocre at best. Only redeeming quality was the view. Frankly, I haven't heard anyone with a much better experience.
(The View used to offer a hors d'oeurves and dessert menu for about $25...not sure if they still have that offering. Might have better luck with that than the dinner.)

I'm sure the prices have gone up since then.

Makes absolutely no sense to me, they lose revenue from this policy.

Here's a link to The View prices/menus if you do decide to give it a shot:

Prix-fixe is $69.95 for dinner.

Does eating at the restaurants earn you pts?
If I eat at a Ritz Carlton restaurant and not a guest do I earn pts?
What about doing the same at a Marriott?
With SPG I know you can, not sure about Marriott

At Marriott, you can only earn at the restaurants if you are a guest.
At Ritz, you don't earn at the restaurants. You only earn on the room.
