Buying A Restaurant Gift Certificate - How Much?

Question

Can you do me a favor and check out this menu (from New Haven, Connecticut)? I have to buy a gift certificate for two for dinner here and am not sure what an appropriate amount would be to cover it. (The couple would have alcohol with their meal.) Thanks!

Answer 1

I agree.  $100 would cover $10-$15 for appetizers, $30 each for entree and a nice bottle of wine.

Answer 2

80.00 - 100.00

Answer 3

If it's for a couple, give $50.00- $100.00, depending on the restaurant. If it's for a young person and you want to get them a card to T.G.I.F then $25.00 is good enough.

Answer 4

I think $80 to $100 would be good. You might want to give extra for a tip also.

Answer 5

Based upon the menu, I would give a $100 gift certificate for a couple.

Answer 6

do they expect you to pay for the whole meal?

I'd say $50 would be a good amount

Answer 7

$100.00
