FineDineDeal Launches

There's a new game in town when it comes to foodie deals. FineDineDeal launched this weekend, with the mission of making finer dining a little more accessible to the everyday Chicagoan.

Thanks, FineDineDeal. Here's how it works: the website allows you to pre-purchase a discounted multi-course meal (a la pre fixe menus) and secure a reservation at some of the city's finest dining establishments.

Some examples of participating restaurants include Sunda, mk, Le Colonial, Prosecco and onesixty blue. I can tell you that I plan to partake in this little deal for many of the restaurants I just listed -- and there are more options available on their website at http://www.finedinedeal.com/search

Once you go to the site, you enter in the date and time for which you're seeking a reservation. If you'd like, you can also enter a specific restaurant you'd like to try. After that information has been entered, the results will populate on the next page. If you entered a specific restaurant, it'll tell you about the menu available that day and the price associated with it. If you didn't select a specific menu and left it at "All Chicago Restaurants," the site will provide you with a list of possible restaurants, menus and reservation times available for your desired date/time.

Pretty cool. I'm already a gigantic Groupon junkie, so things should get interesting with FineDineDeal thrown in the mix.

Definitely let me know what you try -- and how it works out for you. You know you'll hear from me!
