Recommendations for nice restaurant gift card
My coworkers and I are going to pool some money to get our boss a gift card to a nice restaurant. I estimate we'll end up with about $100.
I was thinking maybe something like Django or Centro, but don't really want to go downtown to get one. Any recommendations for something similar in the western 'burbs? Also, what $ amount to shoot for at that place. For example, if $80 will suffice (for two people to eat & have a glass of wine or two), we'll spend the rest on Starbucks GCs, which I know will get put to good use.
Thanks! 
Re: Recommendations for nice restaurant gift card
Bone Fish Grill ... Biaggis ... are more easily doable for under 100 IMO.
If you go downtown ... love love Django (sp), Splash (but again, 100 would be hard to stay under) ...
Johnny's Italian Steakhouse is amazing.
Alba
Bonefish Grill
Iowa Beef Steakhouse

We get my parents a Downtown Des Moines Gift Card where they can use it on a restaurant of their choice:

We also can't ever seem to get out of Fleming's for less than $150 after tip, but it is SO good.
