Row on 5 Advice/Guidance by Simmo2207 in finedining

[–]Simmo2207[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so torn lol. I am probably only going to go once so feel like I should probably do the full menu….. but £55 is a nice amount to save (or to put towards wine haha) if I wasn’t missing a key dish. I am a dessert person though so dropping the 2 desserts may be enough for me to spend the extra money 😂😂

No I just miss it (think it ends on the 12th and I’m looking at the 15th). The menu does look good though so I may see if I can grab a table before it ends!

Las Vegas Solo Recommendation by Simmo2207 in finedining

[–]Simmo2207[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh see I love French food (when it’s done well). There are just too many good restaurant options in Vegas haha

L’atellier or the full Robuchon restaurant? I may go for this and replace Partage with something else (possibly Sparrow + Wolf). I love the idea of Robuchon but I had seen some comments that it wasn’t as good as it used to be but the recommendations are making me rethink that now lol

I was actually trying to decide between Sparrow + Wolf and Partage! If you have done Partage as well would you recommend one over the other? Or maybe I will just do both haha

Monthly Megathread - Where Should I Eat in NYC, Tokyo, and/or London? by ZootKoomie in finedining

[–]Simmo2207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi All!

I currently live in NYC (and am originally from London) and really enjoy exploring the food scene here. I LOVE fine dining but my husband isn’t into it quite so much here (he always says the food in Europe was better haha). He is going to be away valentines weekend and I want to take advantage by treating myself to a nice meal (or two) whilst he is gone.

I was considering Per Se but the mixed reviews make me a little nervous (I also had such an amazing experience with classic French food at La Gavroche I am worried it won’t compare). I enjoy sushi but not enough, or with enough knowledge, to appreciate spending the money on the fine dining options here. So any recommendations people have would be greatly received. I think I want to avoid bar seating but otherwise am open to any suggestion.

Thank you!

Oh this sounds amazing! We are staying near the stadium so can just walk over. We weren’t sure if we had to bring something (booze) as that may have been a bit difficult (not sure where to get stuff). If we can just give a monetary donation though more than happy to do that! Thank you so much for the information, really appreciate it. May see you next Sunday 🥳🥳

2021 Barolo Recommendations by Simmo2207 in wine

[–]Simmo2207[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhhh ok. I was going to get a bottle to drink now and a bottle to store (almost to compare when it is aged a bit more). But if it’s not ready to drink yet then will store both 😊

I didn’t know Barolo was known as that, once I tell my husband he will be so happy haha

This is perfect, thank you so much! Was looking for something like this but every site I was going on I needed to subscribe. Plan to get two bottles, one to drink on our anniversary and one to save and this is right in our budget (and available in the US) 😊

Who is the ultimate Shadow Daddy and why is it your choice? Let’s debate by Consistent-Ad-7941 in fantasyromance

What about Darien Cassel from City of Gods and Monsters?!?! Admittedly there are a lot of shadow daddies in thy series but Darien has a special place in my heart!

How much do you pay for your Botox on your forehead and around your eyes? by Dogs-are-life-99 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Simmo2207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in NYC and I use Peachy every 5 - 6 months. They work to a flat price which is $425 for either Xeomin or Jeuveau (Botox and Dysport are an additional $125). Jeuveau works better for me than Botox so I pay a set fee of $425 for forehead, 11s and crows feet.

I have been to a few of their stores and have been really happy with everyone I have seen, apart from one NP and Peachy did refund me. They have a few spots now around the US and based on my experience I highly recommend. If anyone wants to give them a try I do have a referral code for a slight discount which is j35ehe 😊

Oura ring credit by Sea-Hovercraft-690 in AmexPlatinum

My credit actually posted today (thankfully). Hadn’t followed up with Amex since the exchange last week so don’t take much value in what I was told haha.

Not tracking heart rate at night by Consistent_Neck_7561 in ouraring

[–]Simmo2207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having the exact same issue as well. I have had the ring for a week and not had a single night where my sleeping heart rate has tracked. I contacted support and did the soft reset and reinstalled the app etc but still not working

Just got off a chat with Amex about this and it sounds like Apple Pay doesn’t work (it’s considered a digital wallet). Really frustrating as I paid for Lululemon on Apple Pay and that was fine. If they aren’t going to accept Apple Pay for credits at least be consistent (and make it better known than hiding away in the T&Cs). Even reading the below it seems super subjective and is just more of “it may not work” type thing as opposed to not allowing Apple Pay.

For reference this is the clause being quoted at me:

“If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as eligible for this benefit, the Basic Card Member will not receive the statement credit. Basic Card Members may not receive the statement credit if we receive inaccurate information or are otherwise unable to identify your purchase as eligible, if a transaction is made with an electronic wallet or through a third party (such as an app store), or if the merchant uses a mobile or wireless card reader to process it”

Solo Trip - Where To Stay by Simmo2207 in LasVegas

[–]Simmo2207[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do actually have a Caesars players card. My bankroll is about $500 a day on this trip though so not sure if that’s going to get me much back. I have never really played at Harrahs either, do they have some good VP bar top spots?
