Orlando Restaurant Guide

You purchase the certificate online at a discount (typically 50% off the face value), receive it instantly by email, and redeem it during your meal at the participating restaurant. The restaurant credits the full face value against your bill, and you cover the rest plus tax and tip on the original (pre-discount) total.

Each restaurant sets its own restrictions, which are listed on the certificate before purchase. Common limits include a minimum spend (e.g. a $25 certificate requires a $50+ pre-tax tab), one certificate per visit, blackout dates around major holidays, and dine-in only (no takeout). Always read the fine print before buying.

Usually no. Most Restaurant.com certificates explicitly exclude use with other coupons, happy-hour pricing, prix-fixe menus, or restaurant-week deals. If a restaurant offers a discount weeknight menu, you typically can't stack the certificate on top of it. The certificate page shows the current restrictions for each Orlando restaurant before checkout.

Restaurant.com's standard policy lets you swap an unused certificate for one of equal value at any other participating restaurant, or hold it as account credit. Orlando currently has 48 participating restaurants on Restaurant.com, so finding an alternative is straightforward. Tax-and-tip portions still apply at the new venue.

Restaurant.com offers a refund or exchange within a stated window from purchase (currently 90 days for unused certificates, subject to their terms). After that window the certificate is non-refundable but typically remains usable indefinitely at participating restaurants. Check the terms on each certificate before purchase for the most current refund policy.
