Ponder with me, if you will, the $50 gift certificate card to Ruth's Chris

I have just received a random Birthday greeting from an out-of-state friend/business associate of significant means and a net worth that exceeds mine by a factor of ten. I am grateful. But yet I wonder, what is this for ?
A glass of wine and a salad ? Two appetizes and the tip ? Two rounds of drinks at the bar?
What is the MINIMUM gift certificate you would give to a Steak house or something considered to be in the "fine dining" category? I say it's $100. That's almost written in stone. That should get 60 to 70% 0f a very simple meal without drinks. $150 would be pretty standard . $200 would be rather generous. $250 or higher would be pretty rare unless it's someone who relies on your business or maybe your grandmother.
To offer to defray the costs of a meal is not really a thoughtful gift meant to benefit the recipient, imho, it's more of a social gesture. It's more likely something the recipient forgets about and never redeems. Both parties recognize it as a gesture.
With the premise that ANY GIFT IS GENEROUS and all gifts should be met with GRATITUDE-I need a real world OT Ruling in this matter. What is the minimum amount of a gift certificate you would give to Ruth's Chris ?

If it’s a real gift they should offer to take you out for a meal and then pick up the tab

That will pay for your steak
Stop looking a gift horse in the mouth

SHould be a minimum $100.
When I get spa gift certificates for women I make sure they can get at least an hour massage.

Not gonna make someone pay for their spouse if I'm pushing them to go somewhere for dinner.

I'll buy it from you for $20.

I get $50 gift certificates from Fleming's fairly often... they go toward happy hour.

You can sell it online for $37.

Jesus dude it's a free $50, do you really need 6 paragraphs to complain about it?

You can get one of the 3 specials that include a protein, a side, and a desert for $50 at Ruth's Chris.

I think a general rule of thumb is if you get somebody a gift card to a restaurant, make sure it covers at least them and a spouse/gf/bf (if they have one)

I can’t stand ungrateful motherfrickers like you
Take the gift card.. use it and be happy.. if not, just shut the frick up if you can’t help but bitch about a nice gesture

Pull a power move. Send him a $25 one to Golden Corral so he gets your drift.
