(ended) Countdown Contest: 3 Days Until Christmas

[sunshinecindy]

Wow, its almost here and after the holidays, we just want to kick back and relax and let others do the cooking for us, thats where Restaurant.com (http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1903651-10435748?sid=#UID)comes in. I love that place, and they just started another 80% off sale today.

Todays contest is to pick a restaurant that you would love to visit that is listed on Restaurant.com. It doesn't have to be near you, could be at a vacation spot or somewhere you would like to visit, or even near your favorite Mickey land. Just tell us the name of the restaurant and location, who knows, maybe one of us have been there, and, as an added bonus, if you see one listed you have been at, you can reply to that post and get more then one entry!!!!

Same contest rules apply, I will be picking one winner after midnight tonight.

This is an easy one. Ted's Montana Grill - Schaumburg, IL. My kids love the buffalo steak they offer there -- it's $$$$ but when I get the gift certificates through restaurant.com - it's a nice treat for a special occassion.

[luvmickey]

Sams Steak House In St. Louis Missouri. We only eat here when we have a gift certificate or a coupon. It is so good we try and go at least once a year.

[29apr00]

we used Restaurant.com to go to JWilly's in South Bend. It was featured on Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares!! :eek: He really turned the restaurant around! It was so good!!

[jollytammy]

We just ate at a fantastic:thumbsup: restaurant in Hendersonville, NC called Bistro 502. We used Restaurants.com for the coupon. It was just wonderful:love:, they had the best crab dip we've ever had:eat:. We live about 5 hours away, and I think we're gonna go back just for the crab dip!!!

[faithhope]

I'd like to try this place next time we are in Orlando.

Marietta Brewing Company in Marietta, OH. Marietta is the town where DH and I went to college and we tend to visit once a year or so (my parents live in a town about a half hour away) and this is one of our favorite places to go. They have great beers and the food is pretty good too!

[pbhall13]

oh my mouth is watering just posting this:

The Melting Pot in Bedford, MA. So GOOD!!

[fourfoxesinpa]

Rocco and Anna's in Parkesburg, PA has very good, authentic Northern Italian cuisine. Small, family place with great food and prices. :heart: it there!

[Arky]

Okay I picked one close to us. I want to try Cadillac Ranch. It's downtown Cincinnati. We've walked by many times. Saw it was on Restaurant.com and have talked about trying it.

For my Christmas gift, my DH took me to see the Nutcracker yesterday. No kids, they are at my sister's. He said he wanted to take me to the Cadillac Ranch for dinner. I am always up for a bargain, but he hadn't used Restaurant.com to get a gift certificate. So, this thread reminded me that I needed to do that. So tonight we will be going to this restaurant.

Thanks Cindy for the reminder.

[rumrunnergirl]

Ted's Montana Grill
Estero, FL 33928

We went there once and it was really good! You can watch them make french fries with this really neat potato slicer. Even the kids menu was good and my DD is not into "kid food" - she ordered the salmon and was impressed. I had it too and I agree. DH got a buffalo burger - yum.

We also like the fact that they are into conservation and recycling.

[FigmentFever]

Baisi Thai, Oak Brook, IL

Yum!

[FigmentFever]

This is an easy one. Ted's Montana Grill - Schaumburg, IL. My kids love the buffalo steak they offer there -- it's $$$$ but when I get the gift certificates through restaurant.com - it's a nice treat for a special occassion.

I've been here! It was my first Ted's experience. Very friendly service, nice portion sizes. My husband said the cedar planked salmon was the best he has ever had. Great location (near the mall, but without the mall traffic).

La Boca Mexican Restaurant
520 Main Street
Middletown, CT 06457

My nephew's band played here last summer and we went to listen and get a bite to eat! Well, this was my very first time ordering a Mojito and let me tell you, this is my new favorite cocktail :D.....and no other Mojito has ever compared to this one! Oh and the natchos were fantastic too. I would go back just for the Mojito's alone!! :rotfl:

[kimntrent]

Little Budha in Las Vegas at the Palms. We are getting my uncle a gift certificate there and I would love to try it. All the food at the Palms is killer.

[Tiggerific711]

The next time we go to Hershey Park with my sister-in-law and nieces we could go for a cheap meal (thanks to restaurant.com) at Fudruckers in Hummelstown, PA. It would be a good place to take the kids (DS8, DNiece6 & DNiece2).

I LOVE Fudruckers, they don't have many of them left anymore. Yummmmm.

[sunshinecindy]

Been there, done that, everyone should eat a meal with their hands and watch men jousting and hear people screaming and experience this at least once in their life.

[froggi999]

i'd like to go to whispers in springlake , nj
there are a bunch of great sounding restaurants on this board...love to have the opportunity to try them all sometime.

Love this place, hate that they took it out of Harmar, PA...... kids loved the meals along with us adults.

[mseg16222]

Been so long since I have been there but it is probably the most memorable place that I ate at ever. I loved the atmosphere and the show and I ate couldn't tell you how great the food is but the show was worth it. Along with how they serve you like back in the day. And great for kids.

We were there years ago! Beautiful!! I remember the Sunday Brunch was marvelous!

[speechteachri]

I would love to try the Trinity Brewhouse. It is a local place in Providence. It has been listed in Rest.com forever though, and there are never any gc's in stock...unfortunately.

Just noticed that Kathi and I both listed the same place...Kath, I think if they ever get the gc's back in stock, you and I should check it out!!!

=-)

My husband and I love to dine at Mosaic restaurant in Joliet, Il. It is located in a local casino and after trying to win big a discount on a great meal is just what we need!

[askomsky]

Crazy Cactus Mexican Restaurant
1145 Valley Forge Rd
Phoenixville, PA 19460

I would love to try this place, not to far from me and i love mexican! DH isn't as crazy about it as I, so it'll probably have to be a girls night out. If I can get one for them, they've been sold out.

[jo93]

The Delaney House in Holyoke, MA. It's too expensive to eat there often. I ordered a gift certificate so I can take my husband there for his birthday. I don't think he's been there before either.

[zoodoyle]

The Butcher Block in Albany, NY - we've had many family gatherings there :sunshine:

not much close to us (a place or 2 30 minutes away), mostly in Omaha (NE), but I did see a couple I would like to try - Americana Bistro, or Blue Planet Natural Grill. The 2nd one sounds very interesting, in particular.

I know the contest os over but I just wanted to say this place is great. My kids LOVE it. They even had a replica of the king from Disney's Car Movie. My son was absolutely amazed and took a picture with it, and it has a train that travels around the whole place. AND the kids meals come in paper shaped boxes that the kids love to play with. :love:
