Mints Euro Asian Cuisine (Rancho Cordova, CA) : Service was slower than we can handle for a quick lunch. Also, we asked for specifics in salad and they were not granted, and the young man serving us did not know what we were talking about. Evidently there is not good communication. Food in general was great but the salad dressing was strange. No one asked us if we enjoyed our meal nor solicited any comments about how things were for us.

Tim's Rivershore Restaurant & Crabhouse (Dumfries, VA) : Service was not so great but I expected that on Father's Day. The food was great though and our server (Brian) was fantastic. The food was delicious. Steamed crab legs and shrimp came out within 10 minutes of ordering. I would go again just not on a particular holiday.

Salt Creek Barbeque (Glendale Heights, IL) : I ordered the 2-meat combo, both being the Cajun sausage link and pulled pork. The sausage was outstanding, so tasty with a nice kick. The pulled pork did not shine as bright and was more chunky that pieces had to be cut. The sauce was good, but not memorable. My 2 sides included were corn on the cob, which must have been swimming in water all day because it was tasteless, and baked beans, which I did not finish. I would go back for the sausage, most definitely, and maybe try the ribs plus other sides.

FOOD TALK FAQs
Q: How do I see my
restaurant certificates?
Click your profile name at the
top of the page to open the account dropdown menu and then open "My
Restaurant Certificates" under the shopping history section. Here you
can see all your active and used certificates. Look at details by
clicking the "View Certificate" button.
Q: How can I use my certificates?
One option is to view the certificate through the corporate perks
website, print it out, and show it to your server when you receive
your check. Another option is to download the Dine In or Out app and
login with your corporate perks account credentials which will sync
the app with your account. Then you can bring up certificates on your
mobile device and show them to your server to be processed manually.
Q: I don't want my certificate anymore, can I return it?
You can return your Restaurant.com certificate for WOWPoints at
any time and for any reason. If you want to return the certificate,
There is a link under each certificate which will initiate a WOWPoints
exchange that will show as pending on your account until we receive
confirmation from Restaurant.com that the certificate has been
cancelled.
Q: Why did someone on Food Talk say their certificate didn't work? Will mine not work?
Restaurants
enter into a relationship with Restaurant.com and agree to accept the
certificates in exchange for increased traffic. Occasionally the
management of a restaurant decides they no longer want to continue
using the certificates or the restaurant goes out of business so the
customer is unable to redeem the certificate purchased when the
promotion was still happening. In these cases, the restaurant has not
reported to Restaurant.com the change so their database, which
Corporate Perks relies on, is simply out of date. It is rare that
certificates don't work but if you are worried about it you can simply
ask an employee at the restaurant whether they accept Restaurant.com
certificates before beginning your meal

ExpertLaw18:Some comments in the forum view the gratuity restriction negatively. This is why having it is a good thing:An important part of your restaurant experience comes from the service you are given. Without the gratuity clause, which is typically 18% and added to your bill (similar to if you visited the restaurant with a large party), you would be at the mercy how customers who visited the restaurant before you treated the person serving you.If some of them were to tip the server based on what they paid versus the entire bill, the server might start to treat customers who visited the restaurant with certificates differently than a regularly paying customer. That would be a negative on your dining experience. With the gratuity clause, the server knows they will be getting a reasonable tip, and know that you have the option to give them more. Many customers tip 20% or more for good service, so having an 18% minimum should not negatively impact your decision to use a certificate.The one practice I have seen at a few restaurants is when they accept the certificates for take out, but they still take the 18% gratuity. If they give the gratuity to the kids working the counter who are taking my order, I am a little better with it. The kids at these places are happy to see me. I've been to a couple of restaurants (these are a minority) that take the 18% gratuity and do not give it to the counter help. It goes into the register to offset the certificate discount. This bothered me a bit at first. After thinking about it, I've decided it is their loss. They'd would be better off using the service gratuity the way it is intended, and raising the minimum spend limit if they want customers to have a lower discount at their restaurant.... more

ExpertLaw18:Everything you'd want to know about restaurant.com certificate exchanges.Quite a few questions in the forum are about certificate exchanges. I wanted totake a minute to put together a tip with everything I know about this topic.Restaurant.com has an extremely liberal exchange policy. You can exchangea certificate for an equal valued certificate at another restaurant for any reason.If you want the gory details, see this link:http://restaurant-com.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/19/session/L3RpbWUvMTM0NjQzODU5MS9zaWQvRDNTTTY1NWw%3DSo it doesn't matter if the restaurant has closed, is not accepting certificates,or if you just don't like the color of the wallpaper - you can exchange a certificatefor another one of equal value.If you want your money back, instead of getting an exchange, it is morecomplicated and would need to be worked through customer service as an exception.One of the advantages you get from purchasing your certificate through the next jump site instead of directly from the restaurant.com site (besides getting WOWpoints, which gives you an extra 10-15 percent off), is that you get to decide how you want to exchange the certificate.You can exchange the certificate through next jump customer support for WOWpoints, that you can then use to buy a new certificate, or you can exchange the certificate from the restaurant.com exchange link for another certificate of equal value.... more

NoviceKennethS:Am I the only person who finds most of these deals are a rip-off? For instance, I purchased a coupon to one of the restaurants that was for something like 10% off or something like that, I forget. Anyway, with all the restrictions, including a requirement to tip 18% it actually turned-out to break-even. This was no deal at all. I have no intention of buying any additional coupons (nobody tells me how much to tip, it's based on quality of service!) as well as I couldn't use it on anything other than a lunch or weekday dinner (no weekends).It was my bad - I neglected to take notice of the restrictions. In any event, these appear to be bargains but, in my observation, they are far from it. Expect to break-even at best.... more
