$25 for $50 Worth of Seafood, Raw Fare, Steaks, and More at Seastar Restaurant and Raw Bar

Hungry fishermen are known to bend down by the waterside to let minnows, eager to escape life in a small pond, leap into their open mouths. Dine on a fish that made it to the big city with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of gourmet sea fare and raw goods at Seastar Restaurant and Raw Bar, which Seattle magazine readers recently picked as the city's Best Raw and Oyster Bar. Your Groupon is redeemable at both the Belltown and Bellevue locations. This Groupon is valid for dinner only.

When not scouring the seven seas for the white whale that stole his girlfriend, Seastar chef John Howie scours the salty local waters to supply omega-3-deprived Seattleites with a fresh menu of (mostly) finned finds. Sidle up to the raw bar and drink in a half-shell or 12 of the day's oyster catch (market price), or sample the scallop ceviche in its mango-kiwi relish ($10) for a chemically cooked concoction. If you prefer your food cooked, you’ll find plenty of elegant entrees on Seastar's dinner menu, such as the Dungeness crab with a sweet corn risotto ($26), the prosciutto-wrapped scallops served over a watermelon carpaccio ($26), and the potato-chip-crusted halibut in a lemon-thyme vinaigrette ($34). Pescaphobes can instead conquer a carnivorous craving with a plate of the fire-grilled prime sirloin, served with garlic-seared portabella mushrooms, roasted red potatoes, and Maytag blue cheese ($29), while herbivores can hone in on the artichoke ravioli ($20). Because the best things come in threes, like Stooges and celebrity deaths, close with a dessert trio ($10) of crème brulee, passion fruit panna cotta, and white chocolate coconut cream pie.

Both Seastar locations serve up their fishy feasts in sleek and contemporary dining spaces, and offer striking sommelier service to assist budding oenophiles as they navigate the treacherous grape-waters of Seastar’s extensive wine-dark sea. Treat friends, family, or the beautiful figurehead from your Spanish galleon to a helping of the high seas with today’s Groupon to Seastar. Call ahead to make a reservation.

Dine-in only.

$15 for $30 Worth of Wine and Small Plates at Cork! A Wine Bar

The perfect food and wine pairing is like the fateful meeting of destined lovers, best celebrated with a tiny mock wedding presided over by a curmudgeonly pepper mill with a heart of gold. Combine cuisine and wine the way nature intended with today's deal: $15 for $30 worth of small plates and wine at Cork! A Wine Bar. This Groupon is not valid during Cork's happy hour.

The welcoming vinoteque serves a carefully curated selection of pours by the glass or bottle. From a cheery, floral-scented Riesling to a rich and spicy Shiraz, Cork's wine selections span the globe. For commitment-phobic consumers, flights provide a trifecta of tastes. Modest beer and soda collections are also available.

Supplement sips with dishes from the restaurant's small-plates menu. The cheese plate, garnished with toasted artisan bread, fig spread, almonds, and dried fruit, includes your choice of three ($10) or five ($14) cheeses. The balsamic reduction–drizzled caprese salad ($6) services cravings for freshness. Flatbreads ($8 each), a meat and cheese plate ($12), antipasti ($11), bruschetta ($7), and desserts ($5 each) round the menu into a well-rounded sphere that would be easy to push up a mountain to build an oenophile snowman.

Live music on Saturday nights, Thursday wine tastings, and a cozy ambience make Cork's social-libation station stand out from the pack. The New Tribune praises its spaciousness and candlelit tables. Reservations are recommended on the weekends.

There is no purchase limit for today's Groupon.

$15 for $30 Worth of Gourmet Grilled Cuisine at Flat Iron Grill in Issaquah

$15 for $30 Worth of Gourmet Grilled Cuisine at Flat Iron Grill in Issaquah

When someone's getting all up in your grill, the best thing to say is "You better step off! The surface temperature of grills can approach 550 degrees Fahrenheit—you shouldn't be standing on that thing!" Today's deal demonstrates a high regard for safety by leaving the grilling to the professionals: for $15, you get $30 worth of gourmet cuisine and drinks at Flat Iron Grill in Issaquah.

Flat Iron's husband-and-wife owners serve up steakhouse and seafood fare with South American influences from a sleek space in Gilman Village. The midday menu is populated with gourmet soups ($4.50+), salads ($8+), and hearty hand-held artisan sandwiches, such as the pulled pork panini ($10) enveloped in soft focaccia bread and loaded with poblano, fontina cheese, and arugula.

Dinner diners will be tempted to start a meal or debate on whether Superman can outrun the Flash by diving into an order of the sweet corn flan ($10) with brown butter, chili oil, parmigiano cheese, and grilled artisan bread. Otter-Americans, meanwhile, can explore the shallows for spicy rock shrimp ceviche ($12) and jumbo prawns ($22) with salsa criolla, chimichurri, and grilled asparagus. Equally enticing entrees include the Muscovy duck with sweet potato gnudi, roasted fennel, arugula, and a fresh bing cherry sauce ($23), while grilled treats like the pork prime rib with goat cheese poblano polenta ($19) offer forkfuls of flame-kissed flavor. For a serving of the ultimate indulgent supperfare, head straight for the Oscar Argentino ($35), a 7-ounce filet of beef served with a purple Peruvian potato mash and draped in the decadent topping of Dungeness crab and an ancho pepper hollandaise sauce.

Flat Iron Grill's clean and contemporary décor is contrasted by a lush outdoor patio—an airy space where one can cap an evening of staring into the eyes of a beloved boyfriend or cut of beef with a sumptuous sweet such as the berry-vanilla cream puffs doused in chocolate and berry compote ($8) or a glass of grape-blood from the extensive wine list. Wine and dine a hot date who shares your passion for breeding cassowaries with today's Groupon to Flat Iron Grill.

$20 for $45 Worth of Italian Fare and Drinks at Cafe Lago

Friday, July 23, 2010 15:10 Comments Off
$20 for $45 Worth of Italian Fare and Drinks at Cafe Lago

Originally invented by an ancient Italian tribe of nomadic warriors, wood-fired pizzas doubled as both rations and shields. Defend your stomach from hunger's hordes with today’s Groupon: for $20, you get $45 worth of Italian fare and drinks at Cafe Lago in Montlake. Cafe Lago's daily-fresh dough, handmade noodles, and apple-wood-fired pizza earned it a spot on Seattle magazine’s Best Restaurants '10 list. This Groupon is for dine-in only, and it must be redeemed in one visit.

After stepping inside Cafe Lago's airy atmosphere—where floor tiles are bicolored and tiny alien spacecraft masquerade as hanging lights—start your feast in proper Italian fashion with a lovelorn aria and an antipasto plate such as the olivata, a black-olive puree/goat cheese combination served on grilled bruschetta ($6.95), or grilled eggplant with a gorgonzola doorstop ($6.95). Risk-takers and physics majors can follow this with a pasta dish such as gnocchi ($19.95)—potato dumplings in a tomato, vodka, and cream sauce—just to see what happens to the space-time continuum when pasta comes in contact with an antipasto. The majority of people, though, will want to try Cafe Lago's celebrated pizzas, all of which are cooked to perfection over burning pieces of apple wood. Meat-eaters might like the romana pizza ($18.95)—which features sausage, smoked mozzarella, and sliced sweet onions—while herbivores and herbivoyeurs can opt for the caprino pizza ($18.50), served with goat cheese, caramelized onions, marinara, garlic, and mozzarella. Wash everything down as easily as a greased rubber duck with a glass of wine from the restaurant's cellar.

After the main meal, a lemon tart with honey-whipped cream ($7.95) and chocolate-truffle cake ($7.95) make hearty desserts, especially when washed down with a 2007 Maculan Dindarello ($6.95)'s hints of baked pears, honey, and vanilla. Pizzas, much like kisses and evil plans for world domination, are best when shared, so treat some amici to a little circular cuisine at Cafe Lago with today's Groupon.

Reviews

Cafe Lago has received glowing press both local and national, including features in Bon Appétit, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the Seattle Times, and MSNBC.com. Seattle magazine rates Cafe Lago's pizza as one of 2010's best in Seattle. Zagat gives the food a 23 rating. More than 60 Yelpers give Cafe Lago a 3.5-star average, as do Citysearchers. TripAdvisors give an average of 3.5 owl-eyes and 81% of more than 200 Urbanspooners recommend it:

  • Nearly two decades and two expansions later, Café Lago still sets the mark with its handmade pastas, pillow-light potato gnocchi, and thin, blistery-crusted pizzas. I'm hard-pressed to pass through Montlake without peering longingly through the front window, watching the fire in the pizza oven sway and flare. It's almost impossible to know what to order. ? Molly Wizenberg, Bon Appétit
  • fabulous pasta. the gnocchi is "to die for." personal pizzas are delicioso. ? BrianV0268, Zagat
  • There is a pitiable dearth of Italian food in this town, so it's a delight to occasion upon a place like Cafe Lago that does it right. ? Jeannette C., Yelp
  • If Food Network came to Seattle for a lasagna smackdown with Bobby Flay, Cafe Lago would win hands down. ? likewaterforchoclate, Urbanspoon

$10 for $25 Worth of Tasty Bistro Fare, Beverages, and More at Five Restaurant Bistro in Edmonds

Bistros are remarkable in that they somehow manage to be both fancy and casual at the same time, much like a necktie with Taz on it. Feel gussied up without too much fuss with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $25 worth of bistro fare and drinks at FIVE Restaurant Bistro in Edmonds.

Creative décor and welcoming servers set the tone for the diverse menu of palate-friendly fare at FIVE Restaurant Bistro. Tame the appetite before it starts gnawing on your arm with hors d'oeuvres such as the salumi ($8)—a festival of finocchio, mole, and spicy soppressata—and salads such as the insalata di parma ($8), its organic arugula outfitted with olive oil, high-flying parmesan reggiano, and circus almonds. The pear pizza ($13) with pesto and pine nuts pleases pie persons, whereas mutton-craving stomachs will prefer to shepherd in the half-rack of roasted lamb ($19). The chicken saltimbocca ($17) stuffs imported swiss and prosciutto di parma into a free-range chicken breast and drizzles it with a crimini-sage wine cream sauce, and is best enjoyed in view of the horrified ceramic chicken creamers lining the sideboard. Cap off the savory sensations with samplings from the dessert menu, topped with succulent confections such as the tiramisu ($7) and stracciatella gelato ($4). Sweet-toothed busybodies, meanwhile, can match-make their meal with a cute, funny libation from the bar menu, where goofus grapes are transformed into gallant guzzleables such as the FIVE Cabernet '07 Columbia Valley ($5 per glass) and Leese Fitch Chardonnay '07 ($6).

A collection of frames and a stylish décor bedeck FIVE's warm red walls, centerpieced and supervised by a chandelier trained in CPR. The friendly, attentive waiters and owner accent the comfortable, casual experience, and an outdoor patio awaits al-fresco diners who prefer to season their supper with a little people watching, fleeing-people watching, Godzilla watching, and Godzilla fleeing. Treat your sexy golem to a romantic night out with today's Groupon to FIVE Restaurant Bistro.

Dine-in only. Not applicable toward happy-hour items. Tax and gratuity not included.

$10 for $21 Worth of Tacos and Drinks at Barracuda Taqueria

$10 for $21 Worth of Tacos and Drinks at Barracuda Taqueria

After scientists revealed UFOs were actually full-grown tortillas, people everywhere filled swimming pools with guac and beans to catch and dissect the floury creatures. Nab a tender, baby disc with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $21 worth of tacos, Mexican eats, and drinks at Barracuda Taqueria.

Eschewing the lettuce, tomatoes, and frequent Seinfeld references favored by more Americanized tacos, all of the tacos on Barracuda's menu are crafted from homemade corn tortillas and served with cilantro and diced onions. Try the al pastor ($4), a streetwise Mexi-meat of slow-roasted pork marinated in peppers, achiote, pineapple, and spices, then topped with pineapple pico. The even más auténtico lengua ($4)—beef tongue topped with pickled red onions and queso fresco—is a street-stand classic from the streets of Mexico City and tastes best through a flamboyantly colored lucha libre mask. Vegetarians, meanwhile, can fill up on the veggie taco, packed with rice, black beans, and sautéed 'shrooms and squash ($4). And from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, Barracuda serves breakfast burritos topped with locally sourced eggs, chorizo, barbacoa, jalapeños, potatoes, beans, ham, and more. Preface the tortilla parade by conjuring up a cauldron of chile con queso ($5) or the Barracuda street nachos ($7) caked with mounds of chile con queso and picadillo meat, but keep your vestigial second stomach open for a dessert of Mexican pot de crème (Mexican chocolate topped with cream, $4.50).

A casual décor complete with walls encrusted with beer caps and a visible cooler gives Barracuda a cool, chill ambience where everyone feels like they're hanging out on their best friend's deck, especially if they order a frothy beer or Barracuda's refreshing sangria. Discuss the latest concept album idea with your psychedelic mariachi band over a few tasty tacos and drinks at Barracuda Taqueria with today's Groupon.

At Ventana, executive chef Joseph Conrad transforms local, seasonal ingredients into a novel selection of North American small plates, designed to share with friends and domesticated relatives.

$10 for $25 Worth of California and NY Style Pizza, Drinks, and More at DaVinci’s Pizza e Pasta

If you've never had authentic pizza made with fresh dough, then what you think is pizza might in fact be a cunningly disguised pretzel. Today's Groupon clears up the confusion: for $10, you get $25 worth of pizza, drinks, and more at DaVinci’s Pizza e Pasta on Aurora Avenue. This Groupon is good for dine-in, take-out, delivery, and catering services.

DaVinci’s Pizza e Pasta's menu blends the culinary styles of California and New York to create appetizing pastas and pizzas made with fresh dough and never-frozen toppings every day. Pizzas by the slice ($1.99–$2.99) let you take the full tour of DaVinci’s specialty pizza creations. The Greek Special serves up a boisterous circle-dance of feta cheese, olives, pesto, fresh tomatoes, and even fresher garlic. More adventurous appetites can sing in a shrill, pinched voice to the Tandoori Chicken pizza—a subcontinental masala of grilled tandoori chicken, ginger, cheese, cilantro, onion, garlic, roasted red pepper, and sauce—or the Sheekh Kabab pizza's enticing ensemble of onion, garlic, green pepper, ginger, mushroom, and cheese. For more classic circular cuisine, opt for the Cucina Vegetarian's garden of toppings or the House Special, which combines three kinds of meat with mushrooms, peppers, onions, and fresh tomatoes. And foodie Dr. Frankensteins can always create their own pie before giving it life during an electrical storm. All pizza creations cost between $13.99 and $23.99 depending on size, except for the pineappley Hawaiian Passion with Canadian bacon ($11.99–$20.99).

Customers can prep for their pizza feast by snacking beforehand on garlic bread ($2.49), mozzarella sticks ($5.99), or a Caesar salad with grilled chicken ($5.99) while gargling a bottle of Jarritos mandarin drink ($1.50) or an order of beer or wine (dine-in only). After juggling a plate of pasta and beefy Italian meatballs cooked in DaVinci’s special marinara sauce ($9.95), keep a hand open for swashbuckling swordfights with a California calzone ($8.99) or a meat calzone's ($8.99) carnal treasure chest of Canadian bacon, pepperoni, salami, sausage, and chicken. A dessert of chocolate mousse cake ($3.50) ends the evening on a sweet note no matter how often a first date cryptically prophesies your doom.

Whether you’re stopping by DaVinci's to pick up a pizza pie or visiting the neatly tiled restaurant to count its exposed bricks and talk to its potted plants, DaVinci’s will satisfy circular cravings until 3 a.m. any day of the week.

$9 for a Three-Wine Flight Plus Three Amuse-Bouche Snacks at Oh! Chocolate ($18.95 Value)

$9 for a Three-Wine Flight Plus Three Amuse-Bouche Snacks at Oh! Chocolate ($18.95 Value)

Today’s side deal gets you a three-wine flight with three accompanying amuse-bouches from Oh! Chocolate (an $18.95 value), good only at the Madison Park location.

For this triply tantalizing taste trip, Oh! Chocolate matches three bite-sized treats with chocolate-complementing wine. An amuse-bouche is generally a one-bite treat specially concocted by a chef as a pre-meal palate-piquant and is likely to change with the seasons; a recent menu of three amuse-bouches offered a fig-and-prosciutto bite, a caramel with sea salt, and a spicy chocolate truffle accompanied by caramel and apples. Wines for the flight are just as meticulously selected by the staff to complement the treats and bring out their rich flavor combinations. Tastings at the quaint chocolatier are offered Friday and Saturday from noon to 6 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m., on a drop-in basis.

Reviews

Oh! Chocolate has received extensive press coverage and recognition, including write-ups by the websites Seattle Dining and Girls Guide to City Life. It was awarded the 2005 People's Pick for Favorite Dessert Spot and the 2006 People's Pick for Favorite Chocolatier by The Seattle Times' NWsource website. Yelpers give Oh! Chocolate 4.5 stars. Five Citysearchers give it 4.5 stars also.

  • “Oh!” is an expression of joy and wonder and extreme delight: the perfect word to attribute to the treats created by this family-owned candy company. – Amanda Ford, Girls Guide to City Life
  • We like the habanero mango truffles, the hot cocoa, the caramels, and well, pretty much anything the family-owned shop dreams up. – People's Picks 2006, NWsource.com
  • I have to have chocolate from there everyday! The only bad thing about it is that I can't have chocolate from anywhere else. – Denise E., Yelp

$15 for $35 Worth of Italian Fare at Osteria da Primo

$15 for $35 Worth of Italian Fare at Osteria da Primo

Contrary to popular belief, when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a lawsuit. Enjoy Italian cuisine without fear of physical reprisal with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $35 worth of authentic Italian fare at Osteria da Primo.

The Burien eatery boasts a menu of Old World authentic Italian fare inspired by the chef-owner’s southern Italian upbringing. Start with an order of the crispy carciofi fritti ($7), and dunk the deep-fried artichoke hearts into a flavor-filled bath of spicy aioli, or opt for the fresh pepata di vongole ($12), steamed intra-shell clams in a white-wine broth. Italian film buffs will analyze the dramatic depth of the eatery’s entree selections, noting the complementary selection of palate-pleasing pastas and protein-packed piatti alongside wood-fired pizzas and insalata. Split a Primo pizza ($16.50) with a co-diner, and savor the prosciutto and green-olive-enhanced flavor of the disc-shaped dinner, or hoard an order of the agnello al terrone ($21), a tender rosemary-seasoned lamb chop, for the post-modern prometheus you keep in the basement next to the unused flower pots.

The comfortable eatery boasts a warm atmosphere, enhanced by the friendly staff, rich red walls, and wood-fired pizza oven. With a wine list of over 50 small-batch estate-bottled Italian vintages and a selection of house-made desserts and imported gelatos, Osteria da Primo is an ideal setting for a flirtatious fork fight over the last bite of the signature tiramisu ($6.50) with the Dante scholar of your dreams. With a fervent local following strong enough to rival Deborah Gibson’s personal entourage, reservations are recommended, so call ahead.

$15 for $30 Worth of Asian Fusion Fare, Tapas, and Drinks at Root Table

Though soy sauce is commonly believed to be of Asian origin, several linguists have unearthed its true Iberian beginnings by decoding the hidden Spanish translation. Celebrate the intriguing international condiment with the help of today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of Asian fusion cuisine, tapas, and drinks at Root Table.

The Ballard eatery serves up fresh Asian fusion fare and tapas in a charming dining environment. Be a benevolent boss and share small plates of curry-corn fritters ($5) or battered and Cajun-spiced calamari ($5) with your quivering underlings, or hoard an order of the sweet-basil mussels ($6) baked in white wine, garlic, and butter to silence your growly gut. Full-sized entrees feature Asian flavors fused with American flair and include the booze-infused Double-Fisted Duck ($11.50), marinated in dark beer and Chinese wine and served with deep-fried cabbage and jasmine rice. The Menage-a-Thai ($12) comes with three different curries and your choice of beef, chicken, or tofu, and is served with roti and jasmine rice. Hungry herbivores can dig for fresh-grown nutrients in the Green Dragon ($9), a tofu and green-collard stew with shiitake mushrooms, whereas meatists can wrap their tongues around the spicy sausage capellini ($10), made up of Thai Sai Oua sausage over angel-hair pasta sprinkled with fresh basil. Ensure a sweet conclusion to an undercover date with your debonair detective with an order from the rotating dessert menu, such as the pumpkin cheesecake ($6) or carrot cake ($6).

The intimate eatery boasts an earthy yet elegant décor, where hungry diners nibble on nightly nourishment. Cozy up with nature at wooden tables carved into trunk-like formations amid the warm glow of softly lit lamps and rust-colored walls.
