Best restaurant.com restaurants?

[shivohum]

I recently received some certificates from restaurant.com and I was wondering what the best restaurants on there are... Anyone had any great experiences? Thanks.

Are you implying that you received certificates complimentary? what is lowest cost way to get hem?

They frequently have specials where you can buy a $20 gift certificate for $2. Once you are on their mailing list, they send you the notifications via Email.

Personally, the only restaurant that jumped out at me was Hill Country. But Hill Country is a BBQ place, not the best choice for a vegetarian. And it seems that they are always out of gift certificates unless you act promptly at the beginning of the month. I did buy a gift certificate from Cafe Spice near Union Square. I haven't eaten there yet, but have gotten a few things to go from their kiosk in Grand Central a few times. I know there is better, but what I have gotten wasn't too bad.

I can recommend these; all have at least some vegetarian options:

Bao Noodles, Cafe Asean, Essex Restaurant, HK Restaurant, Philip Marie, Sachiko's on Clinton, The Elephant.

I would describe my experiences as "good," though, not "great."

As a matter of fact, yes. A friend of mine got some gc's for City Lobster and invited me to partake. I was completely hesitant about going, but really wanted to catch up with my buddy. The space was charming; very brasserie-esque. But what charmed me more were the outstanding crab cakes and corn succotash that I enjoyed for dinner. I was pretty floored that something THIS good came from City Lobster. Granted, I'd never been prior, but the reviews that I read were very mediocre.
We received $25 towards 2 entrees, which ended up being a huge bargain. I look forward to returning.

Thanks for the suggestion! Sadly, I'm vegetarian ;).
