Herndon, VA
I’m done with Resturants.com. I gave up on Entertainment Book a long time ago.
But there are still a couple of dining discount programs that I keep an eye on.
The first is the Dining Rewards Network, that allows you to earn miles or cash back for dining at certain restaurants and paying with a registered credit card.
The second is Groupon.
Of these two programs, Groupon definitely offers the better deals, because you can get as much as half off. The Dining Rewards Network is better for earning a few extra frequent flyer miles to keep your account active.
I find that there are still a few quality seafood restaurants in both these programs in the Northern Virginia area.
Case in Point: The Dining Rewards Network
- Tara Thai in Herndon, Virginia: This restaurant consistently serves delicious food, beautifully presented, including many fresh fish and seafood options. Highly recommended. The prices are reasonable, too.
- Clydes of Tysons Corner: See my review here.
