<p>rjk, I am not sure about which prices you are referring to. As a rule, those properties do not have room and board options (although many include very nice breakfasts along with a night’s stay). Prices for meals will be separate than prices for accommodation. A dinner at a highly rated Michelin restaurant will set one back anywhere from $200-$500/person, not including tips or alcoholic beverages. Lunches can often be significantly less expensive, but they will not have the same depth and complexity. Accommodation at those inns would cost anywhere from $250-$1,000/night, depending on the season and room-type (small basic room vs larger more luxurious suite). No matter how you look at it, they are expensive, but they are intended for special occasions only. That is why those inns usually only have 15-20 (some even fewer) rooms and suites and can only seat 30-40 diners at any point in time (which means no more than 60-80 diners at any given night).</p>
