I know what michellin starred places are like. And it's not how I like to enjoy food, it's overpriced, pompus and uptight.
I enjoy myself much more in a more relaxed place for a fraction of the price.

Depends how you define value.If you define it as eating loads of Brake Bros food, drinking Jacob's Creek and waddling out the door with change from £40, then no a tasting menu won't be for you.
However if you define culinary value as paying £100ph for an opportunity to experience new flavours, textures and combinations made with high quality ingredients, put together with technical expertise then yes.

A rowboat, a sack of dead dogs, a fishing line and a carton of beer.
Paddle out on the bay, chuck the sack of dead dogs into the murky depths. Have a couple of beers, wait a bit and then cast a line and reel in in the bottom dwelling fish as they are attracted to the stench.
Or maybe the biggest motorbike as budget allows.
Dunno, it's a toss up.
