Probably losing too much business because they were the only decent restaurant on there. Like the other poster said their restaurants selections aren't the greatest.

One good thing about Restaurant.com is if you buy from Restaurant.com they would refund the money if the merchant doesn't honor it
Things that I do not like about it is - it is not a Gift Certificate (which they say it is) but a coupon. You have to pay taxes and gratuity (which is pre-determined at about 15-18%) after you meet the minimum required to use the coupon. Let's say if you buy their certificate for $1 for $10 food and the requirement is to spend a minimum of $25 then you have to consume $25 worth of food plus pay tax and gratuity to use the $10 coupon. So, the total cost is going to be: $25-$10 Certificate +$2 Cost of Certificate + Tax + Gratuity. Most of the restaurants restrict certain days and times of the day (lunch/dinner etc) and to dine-ins only and 1 per table restrictions.
