Among the list of starters are grits with shrimp and roasted-jalapeño andouille as well as a chef's selection of charcuterie meats with housemade mustard. Entrees such as a grilled Black Angus fillet served with caramelized onions, truffle bone-marrow butter, and smoked potato mash lead into a dessert course highlighted by white-chocolate bread pudding or pomegranate cheesecake.

Bistro Alex

Nearly 30 years ago, chef Alex Brennan-Martin was a student at Ecole de Cuisine La Varenne in Paris. He frequented the city's cafés, drawing inspiration from their quaint atmospheres. Blending his memories of these neighborhood meeting places with his Southern upbringing, he founded Bistro Alex, where he designs seasonal menus of creole- and French-inspired cuisine.

Alex and his culinary team use local ingredients whenever possible, building dishes from Louisiana turtles, local Texas pork, red snapper, and strawberries; harvesting oysters from a nearby port; and only culling cheese from earth’s closest moon. They also apply a DIY approach to the dishes' basic elements, making their own tasso ham, andouille sausage, mustard, and meat stocks in house, as well as carving their own charcuterie meats. An on-staff pastry chef devises all desserts, such as white-chocolate bread pudding and peanut-butter chocolate mousse.

Cuisine aside, the beautiful dining room warrants patrons’ admiration on its own. Real mesquite tree planks form select walls and portions of the ceiling, lending guests a feeling of being tucked inside a treehouse—albeit an elegant treehouse with plenty of wine. Airy drapes, curvaceous chairs, and modern jazz melodies anchor the environment in sophistication. Additionally, complimentary parking is available to patrons for ease of visiting.

The Groupon Guide to: Collectible Trinkets

No mantel, shadow box, or garbage bag in the attic is complete without a display of valuable collectibles, appreciating exponentially with each passing year. You may already be a millionaire if you collect any of the following:

Beanie Babies: These limp, boneless animals are a college tuition waiting to happen.
Most Valuable Beanie Baby: Lillehammer, the ’94 Winter Games herring

PEZ Dispensers: It turns out these valuable treat scepters are more than just miniature tracheotomy patients that dispense a candy tasting of equal parts chalk and soap.
Most Valuable PEZ Dispenser: Rare Darth Vader with Kermit the Frog’s eyes affixed to the top of his helmet as a result of factory error

Hot Wheels: Small? Sure. Cars? Definitely. These small cars look just like regular cars—but smaller.
Most Valuable Hot Wheels Car: The 1981 Pioneer Ferrari 308 GTB—shrunk from a full-size car using experimental technology—that contains a now-tiny Vice President Mondale who was just sitting behind the wheel for a second to take a photo
