Choose Between Two Options

$49 for a three-course dinner for two (up to a $100 value)

  • One small plate per couple (up to a $16 value)

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: Bettering Yourself

Everyone starts as a blank canvas, but fortunately, life provides us with all the colors needed to paint a masterpiece. Here are some things you can do every week to fulfill your destiny as a painting metaphor:

  • Make a new recipe. Mixing different kinds of cereal together counts.

  • Read a kind of book you wouldn't normally read. Maybe the instruction book for a vacuum you no longer own, or if you don't have any books, staple a bunch of menus together and say that's a book.

  • Quit a bad habit. We all love waking up in the middle of the night to break every single one of our dishes, but when you think about it, is it really doing us any good?

  • Get involved in your community. See which of your neighbors leave their doors unlocked and surprise them by spilling one of your new cereal recipes all over their floor.

  • Exercise. Chase every animal you see. They would do it to you if they had the guts.

Can two different kinds of cereal in one bowl lead to a better you?
