I think I paid 2 bucks for the one I used tonight. It was good for $25 and it included alcohol. A free bottle of wine + was good for me. I have another 8 certificates for some places that I frequent. This is what I would call A STUPIT KILLA DEAL! Thanks again.

What was the minimum you need to pay to use the $25 certificate ?
Example is a $50 certificate for $20 but you need to spend a minimum of $35 to use the certificate. If your meal is $36 you have $1, speed $50 save $15

Beware and read the fine print.
The restaurant that you went to is a low cost certificate compared to most others, good deal on that one

its simple the $50 dollar ones tend to not include alcohol, but heres the basics.
u needs to spend on food.
10 gift card 20 on food so u get 10 off
15 gift card 30 on food get 15 off
25 gift card 50 on food get 25 off
50 gift card 100 on food 50 off.

they all state whats included and excluded,including the expected gratuity no gimmic here, the waitress was even happy to see it and gave us further info. if u are sceptical the dont buy em, i think the sale ends sunday..... dont forget to enter ' love ' in for the discount code

Just going to hoard them for the big sushi nights... It's easy to have a group of four spend over $100.

What does the required minimum mean, what you have to spend or the cost of bill before the coupon?

I use restaurant.com certificates, they are great.

Usually required to spend $35 on food (no booze, but depends on place) before $25 coupon applies, never bought the $50 version. Some places automatically add in an 18% gratuity which is spelled out on coupon.

Wait to buy mid to late month when coupons are $2 / $25 and LOAD UP. They are good for a year.

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

here is a example of the fine print for a $25 coupon that costs $3.50.

"Minimum purchase of $35. 18% Gratuity added prior to discount. Valid for Dinner, Dine In ONLY. Excludes: Holidays/Special Events, Other Offers/Promotions. Present prior to ordering. 1 certificate per party. Excludes $29.95 dinner for two."

I know it sounds to good to be true, but it is true.

HOLY - I'm going to take this a step further, you can purchase restaurant.com gift cards with the same 80% off " love " code. a $100 dollar gift card is 8 Bucks! ( see screen shot ) not sure if this can be used to purchase the current deals but its still killer! IMO - i might try tomorrow.

Here is some more info from the policy
“Restaurant.com Gift Certificates” and “Restaurant.com Gift Cards” – Refers to store credit certificates or gift cards offered by the Website that entitle the holder to redeem the face value of the certificate for an equivalent face value amount at any designated Restaurant.com website, such as www.TheIdealMeal.com, for any Restaurant-Specific Gift Certificate or Merchant Certificates offered at the time of redemption at that website.
When you go to www.TheIdealMeal.com you enter in your code and it shows the same stuff on the main site as far as i can tell.

Ok i just bought a few $100 e gift cards for 8 bucks each using " LOVE " as the discount code, which is 8cents on the dollar unfortunately they can not be combined with the current offers but you can use them when ever so its like having the same discount at a future date.

My bill was $50 bucks last night and it cost me $25 after the gift certificate. She didn't add the 15% gratuity that it said on the gift card so I tipped her separately.
