Thanks! This prompted me to check you-know-who and snag my FIRST Ruths’ shop, AND I bought myself the gift card deal as soon as I got it - so DOUBLE thanks!
So you say the $200 won’t cover the tab - any ordering tips?

That’s a good point about possible penalization for using the GC. I was thinking of using it if I was going to exceed the $200 budget at the table by $40, which would happen if I buy a bottle of wine…
… which reminds me of another question: can I buy a bottle of wine?: it says “2 drink max”, and I wonder how many glasses each they consider a bottle to be. Really it should be encouraged, because it’s acting like an authentic patron would (only a shopper would order 2 wines by the glass each, when they could just buy one bottle).

For the fine dining I have done they have never allowed a full bottle of wine. They are usually interested in knowing how the glass was held when delivered, the timing of delivery which may be very different for a bottle, while sitting at the bar if that is part of the job also how they pour it. Glasses of wine have gotten smaller over time just like ice cream half gallons! so I am thinking there may even be 5 glasses in a bottle. The standard pour these days seems to be 5 to 6 ounces which would give you 4 to 5 glasses in a bottle. And if you have to do a bar visit first you have already used up at least one of your allotted 4 glasses for 2 diners.

I was told when I helped a family that owned a restaurant in France that you don't hold a wine glass by the glass if you're not drinking it. You hold it by the stem or the base. That way there are no observable fingerprints on the glass itself for the customer.
