How long is the card valid?
The card is valid for one year - January 1, 2012 through December 30, 2012.

What is the benefit of having a card?
The card enables you to purchase a dinner entrée at one of the participating restaurants and receive a 2nd dinner entrée of equal or lesser value for free. You may use the card at each restaurant on two separate occasions, giving you a total of 52 free dinners.

Do I have to make reservations?
The quality of the restaurants is such that reservations are requested at all the restaurants and required at some. Reservations are required because they enable the restaurants to anticipate demand and ultimately give better service. However, it is not necessary to identify yourself as a Erie Fine Dining member when making the reservations.

Do I have to inform the waiter/waitress that we are using the Dining Card when we get to the restaurant?
No, you do not. Simply present your card when presented with the bill and the restaurant will deduct the lesser priced entrée from the total amount.

The card is about the size of a business card and can be conveniently carried in your wallet.

How is it used?

Can we use our Fine Dining Card when we are dining with another couple or couples?

Can we order more than one card?
