You have to have a bill of $50 (usually they want it to include 2 entrees) and then the $25 will be taken off the tab. Your $50 charge will be reduced to $25. They sometimes add in the gratuity as well (lst night they added in an 18% gratuity) but they were sure to point it out to us before we signed the tabs.</p>
<p>We had those cool (pun intended) drinks that were a bit pricy but fun, appetizer (shared amongst the 4 of us) salad or soup (the other couple and my DH had salads, I had this vidalia onion bisque that was to die for), main course (I took most of mine home-- I was stuffed) and coffee. With tax and tip it cost us, after the coupon (which we split betwen the 2 families) about $40 a person. For all we had, and the 3 hrs we were there, it was fine. Good deal, in fact.</p>
<p>*** Crossposted with gosmom-- but forgot to mention. You can buy the coupons now-- they are good for a year. Also, there are ususally deals /code to get these coupons at 50-60 even 70% off. The 80% off was a great deal, but til now I’d never seen the 90% off. I also happened to read that the dining room at the Ritz is closing. All issues related to our economy…</p>
