• All of Sutra’s food is prepared fresh each day, and the seasonal menu changes every few days.
• Sutra is fashioned more like a supper club than a conventional restaurant. There are two seatings per night and diners begin their 4-course seasonal dinner at the same time.
• We highly recommend that you save room for Sutra’s Chocolate (Theo’s Costa Rican) Avocado Pie made with a pecan crust and Cacao Nib Brittle. Delicious!

Description

How would you like to experience the flavors of France, the zest of Italy, the aroma of Spain and the spice of Mexico without emptying your bank account or squishing into a coach seat for a 20 hour flight? The solution is simple: a night out at Dulces Latin Bistro. Chef Julie Guerrero’s Latin menu captures the essence of these countries and fuses them together to create culinary masterpieces that will keep you coming back for more.

With a menu as mouthwatering as that of Dulces Latin Bistro, you may find that choosing a single dish is a hopeless task. To appease your indecisive pallet and your pocketbook, we present the special 3-Course Prix Fixe menu. Begin with a delectable appetizer like the Prawns a la Diabla, large prawns sautéed in butter, accompanied with chilies and deglazed with a splash of orange. For an entrée that will make your tongue do the tango try the Carne Asada with a fresh Argentinean Chimichurri. And finally, the tres leches cake is the perfect end to a perfect evening.

Step into the charming restaurant located in cozy Madrona, and you’ll find yourself surrounded in the elegance of rich mahogany and a soft rose-tinted glow. But it’s not only the ambiance that is welcoming -- the friendly, attentive staff at Dulces Latin Bistro makes you feel as if you’re one of their prized patrons. So, grab this deal and treat your taste buds to a Latin experience they’ll never forget!

While the Great Wall of China may win the accolades of history, the Great Backscratcher of Thailand, built to reach any itchy corner across the vast, narrow expanse of the nation, saved more lives than can be counted on a single hand. Feast upon equally ingenious Thai creations with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of Thai cuisine and drinks at Thaiku in Ballard.

Much like Thailand itself, Thaiku's menu comes loaded with traditional and authentic Thai delicacies; unlike Thailand, it contains few elephants. Kick-start your tummy's tuk-tuk with an appetizer such as giow tawt ($6.50)—crab and cream cheese wrapped in won ton and served with plum sauce—or the por sia sod ($6.50), a fresh salad and Chinese sausage roll wrapped in rice paper and topped with house hoisin sauce. Along with classic noodle dishes like pahd see iew ($8.50), adventurous diners can feel like they're eating from a genuine Bangkok street stall minus the backpack-shaped sweat stain on their back with an order of North Thailand's staple kao soy (fresh egg noodles in yellow curry and coconut broth, $8.95), guay tiow bed (a soup of rice noodles, sliced duck, rich anise, cinnamon, and sweet soy broth, $7.95), or the gai yaang ($12.95), a marinated chicken paired with sticky rice and a sweet green papaya salad.

Thaiku's cozy interior blends wooden beams and hanging lights with unexpected accents, like the rickshaw hanging from the ceiling. The restaurant's intimate back bar, Fu Kun Wu, lubricates awkward first-date conversations with specialty cocktails and herbal apothecary beverages, as well as late-night dining. Keep your mood chipper with the oolong tea-ni—black tea infused vodka, then shaken with lemon and sugar—or be bold and sample Thaiku's notorious patented cocktails made with the African herb yohimbe, which is considered to be both an aphrodisiac and mild hallucinogenic, similar to making out during a David Lynch movie. These hardcore herbals are literally not for the faint of heart, and Thaiku strictly limits them to one per customer. Live jazz adds an appropriately heady atmosphere for such cocktails on Wednesdays and Thursdays. And unlike your cousin's weekly Casio basement shows, there's no cover.

This deal is not valid with happy hour pricing.

It's like a horror film. A terrible occurrence that you both avoid, yet it happens almost every night. You sidestep it, you turn your back to it, you pretend it won't come for you. But every night, there it is, lingering in the air. Run, don't walk from... "What do you want to do tonight?" Whether you've been happily coupled for decades or are just getting to know each other, planning a night out can feel like a daunting mission. Consider The Creative Date's founder Kyle to be your in-house event-planner. When facing the nightly dragon with his wife, Kathleen, Kyle realized that date-planning is a common couple's phobia. Offering themed date-night action plans that will give you goosebumps in a good way, The Creative Date does the scary stuff for you. They find the restaurant, the bar, the activity, and more! All you and your beloved have to do is follow the instructions and have a great time. The only thing that The Creative Date won't do is find a sitter-- but they do have several baby-friendly options to take the little one along! While these super-fun, Seattle-specific outings usually run for $20, right now, Tippsters can get a great date plan for just $10! Next time your mate asks, "What are are we doing tonight?" be prepared with an answer that won't make their hair stand on end!

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.

Amidst the bustle of urban living, everyone cherishes those tranquil spaces that bring calm. Whether it's a patio garden, a grassy nook in a park, or a secluded bit of sand at the beach, everyone has her little hidden spot where she can feel restored. Somehow, Sutra Yoga & Wellness Center has created just such a place for yoga lovers at their new studio in Wallingford.

Offering prana vinyasa and surya yoga, the physical and the spiritual combine seamlessly at Sutra Yoga & Wellness Center. Enormous effort has been put into making it a stunning and cozy space. Made with green materials, the studio is bathed in natural light, giving it a natural and warm interior. Featuring talented instructors and a welcoming atmosphere, it's the perfect place to progress on your own yoga journey.

And today, just $28 buys you five classes at Sutra Yoga & Wellness Center- a $65 value!

The studio is next to Sutra, the fabulous vegetarian restaurant founded by the same folks. Combined, it's like your own private ashram - a tranquil space to restore yourself amidst the buzz of the city.

An upset planet will inevitably turn to bratty acts of defiance, such as orbiting backward or petulantly running away to other solar systems. Today's Groupon keeps Earth happy so that it doesn't elope with Jupiter while we're asleep: you get a ride in the eco-friendly Seattle Green Limo. Purchase one of the following Groupons:

• $52 for a single pass to a five-hour wine tour in a vegetable-powered luxury vehicle (a $109 value, including fuel surcharge)
• $35 for $70 worth of eco-friendly airport transportation (value can also be applied to 10% fuel surcharge)

Seattle Green Limo lays claim as the Emerald City's first eco-friendly chauffeur service, and its vegetable-powered fleet of luxury vehicles ferries Earth-enamored citizens to and from their desired destinations. Seattle Green Limo's fuel reduces CO2 emissions by more than 80% and is as biodegradable and edible as sugar, making it safer to imbibe than most energy drinks. And unlike traditional limousines, the seats in Seattle Green Limos are not upholstered in panda.

Free of gas-guzzling guilt, you'll get to spend a fun, scenic day in the country guzzling your own gas during a five-hour customized Woodinville wine country tour. The customizable chauffeured tour will leave Seattle around 11:30 a.m. and will include stops at an eclectic mix of your choice of area wineries, such as the larger fermenteers of Chateau Ste. Michelle, along with a sophisticated blend of boutique outfits (possible tasting fees at each vineyard). The tour will end around 4:30 p.m. or later (depending on traffic), and, per your request (and $20 extra), you may choose to be dropped off at a local restaurant for a wine-absorbing meal, and then returned to your hotel or other pick-up point afterward. Each Groupon for this option is good for one person; you may purchase multiple for others to join you.

Frequent fliers and romantic-comedy heroes whose true loves are boarding their flight can indulge instead in Seattle Green Limo's airport-transportation service. This Groupon gets you $70 which can be used toward a one-way luxury ride to or from the terminal of your choice at SeaTac Airport – check prices online and enter your ZIP code for fare information, which varies based on chosen vehicle and destination (additional charges apply for services over $70). Call ahead to reserve airport transportation or a tour with Seattle Green Limo.

Pick-ups for wine tours are available from downtown Seattle and Bellevue hotels and many Park N Ride locations; other locations may incur extra fees. Pick-ups for airport transportation can be made anywhere. Pick-ups made at SeaTac are subject to a $5 Port of Seattle fee. Not valid on certain holidays, St. Nick's, or Passport Sunday. Must be 21+ for wine tour.

For $10, today's side deal gets you a wine tasting for one (a $5 value) plus $20 worth of bottled wine at Edmonds Winery, a boutique craft winery in Woodinville that specializes in Bordeaux-style blended wines. Waltz your way through Edmonds' tasting room any Saturday or Sunday between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. and apply your Groupon toward whichever fermented fruit elixir finds its way to your heart. For the month of August, the tasting room is also open every Friday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Edmonds handcrafts its wines in small, open-top fermentation tanks before aging them in small oak barrels. Producing only 1,000 cases of wine a year, the winery distributes them to local restaurants and gourmet shops. During your wine tasting, you'll get to try a variety of varietals, such as the sweet and dry 2008 Gewurtztraminer ($15), the intensely fruity 2007 Slide Ridge ($29), or the 2007 Delorious ($23), a wine made of equal parts delicious and glorious. Take note of which wine agrees with your flavor receptors and mind-matter the most, then take home a bottle.
