Restaurant.com Boston Discount Dining Guide


There are so many choices when it comes to dining in major U.S. cities such as Boston.  That is why Restaurant.com's Boston Discount Dining Guide is so helpful.  Like others for cities around the country, this guide helps you search for restaurants in your neighborhood.  I tried it and was so surprised at how many restaurants in our surrounding towns that I had never heard of.  Restaurant.com gives diners incentive to try new restaurants by offering discounted restaurant gift certificates to participating establishments.


Things you should know about Restaurant.com:

  • You can easily find participating restaurants in a certain area by entering the zip code, state, or town.
  • You can learn more about each restaurant by clicking the restaurant name and the menu link.
  • Each restaurant offers varying denominations in gift certificates for a discounted price, but the prices vary slightly also.  For example, one restaurant may offer a $10 gift certificate for $5 all the way up to a $100 gift certificate for $45, while another restaurant may only offer $25 gift certificates for $10 and yet another restaurant may offer $25 gift certificates for $15.
  • Most of the gift certificates have a minimum purchase.  For example, to use a $50 gift certificate, there may be a minimum purchase requirement of $100.  Others may require a minimum purchase of a set number of entrees.
  • Only one gift certificate is allowed per party or table.
  • Most restaurants state that an 18% gratuity is added to the total bill prior to applying the gift certificate.
If you would like to give a gift, there are three options offered by Restaurant.com . . . a printable e-Gift Card, a physical gift card with Free Standard Shipping, and the Dinner of the Month Club.  To learn more about these options, visit Restaurant.com.
