Restaurant.com has a new 80% off code FOURavailable, which is valid through Oct 12, 2009. The $25 giftcertificates are normally $10 or $15 (depending on restaurant), but are$2 or $3 with the code. They also sell $10 certificates for select restaurants for $4, making them 80 cents each with the code. Thanks brisar

Note: Be sure to check restrictions for the certificates before you purchase, as they vary among different venues.

Just get a $25 gift certificate now, you can redeem it later for the restaurant you want when it becomes available.

the reason they sell these at 50-70-80-90-% off is people like me buy them then dont redeem them. Although it seems like a good idea. I would not buy more than the ONE you are going to that evening. I bought like 5 at a time and I think we only used one.

didn't know we could do that. Will give it a whirl. thx repped

I really want to snag one for La Tasca, but I'd never use it.

Is there a minimum check required for these to work?

Its different for different restaurants. Just check whichever ones you want.

Screw it, girlfriend is coming home from school this weekend, I'll take her and her mother out for lunch on Monday. Love me some Tapas food! Thanks OP. Hopefully it works, I've never used a gift card before.

The restaurants here hate these things.

Thumbs up and 4 reps for the OP because SOME people like these. But they're not for us, thumbs up and four reps for effort anyway.

We think these coupons are a good value ONLY if you want to go to the restaurant anyway, were planning on paying full price for regular menu items, and can work within the constraints of the coupon.

Examples: To use a $35 coupon had to spend $50 not including drinks & tax, good only Mon-Thurs, two full priced entrees from the dinner menu at dinner time (5:00-9:00 PM), server tip of 20% automatically added to full menu price. We had two entrees and two salads, one soup and one dessert for $55, plus 20% is $66 plus 6% tax on $55 = $69.30, minus $35 is $34.30. Plus the 10% we paid for the $35 coupon the REAL total for our two dinners is about $34.30 + $3.50 =~~ $38.

If you planned on eating like this with or without a coupon, it's a good deal. But the wife and I usually split a large dinner salad and one entree, or we have dinner specials and we eat sparingly. We usually get EXACTLY what we want at the restaurant I'm talking about for this example. Including tax and tip we've never spent over $32 when we get what we want when we want it.

It's the same at the three restaurants we've visited with the $120 in coupons we bought last December for $12.

Summary: These coupons are good ONLY IF you would go to the restaurant anyway, and follow the rules that cost more than people would often spend. If you think you can try a good restaurant at a great price that you normally wouldn't visit, and get what you want at a GREAT PRICE, think again.

To us, they are not a good deal. We won't buy any more of these from restaurant.com again.

its ridiculous how often they throw these codes out there now..

i mean it doesnt even phase me anymore that they have 50% off deals..
