Restaurants in Snoqualmie

Composing a week's worth of haikus out of brothy alphabet soup will leave anyone wanting a stiff drink. Today's Groupon puts libations and sea fare in the same place with $25 worth of food and drink at STIR Martini and Raw Bar for $10. The precise engineering of your meal will fill your gullet and further inspire your economic use of 17 poetic syllables.

Del Rey's chef, Derek Knudsen, infuses classic bar dishes with a gourmand's flair, offering a menu of wash-downable delights, fried yum, and Southwestern staples. After tasting the blackened ahi tuna ($13.95), truffle mac 'n’ cheese ($7.95), and churros with chocolate-Kahlua sauce ($5.95), tone-deaf taste buds find themselves serenading incisors with John Fogerty lyrics. Early feasters can enjoy Saturday- and Sunday-brunch favorites such as the vegetarian breakfast burrito ($7.95) or Kahlua French toast ($6.95), washed down with one of Del Rey's specialty Bloody Marys ($7.50–$8). Bathed in glowing red light, diners settle into intimate booths with selections from Del Rey's stocked bar. More than 100 tequilas spicy up margaritas, including the jalapeño-cucumber ($8) and the triple berry ($7.50), while the Dark N Stormy quenches the thirsts of sadistic weathermen with house-made ginger beer and dark rum ($7.50).

Dine on authentic, fresh Italian cuisine without leaving the country with today’s Groupon. For $30, you’ll get $60 worth of delicious Italian fare at La Dolce Vita Ristorante Italiano, located at 234 1st Ave. W in lower Queen Anne.

The Taj Mahal is near-universally admired. So are Indian people. And so is their food. For $15, you’ll get $35 worth of Indian fare at Navya Lounge (valid for dinner only), a downtown eatery in the Rainier Square Building where classic Indian dishes united with classic Indian dish names live happily ever after in a charming fantasyland where everyone is best friends with their stomachs.

Thomas Street Bistro's menu blends the taste of Provençal sunshine with the salt of the Mediterranean. All entrees are cooked from scratch using local produce and gourmet spices. Chefs dream up new concoctions every day to swirl into soups, shuffle into salads, and feverishly write to patent companies about. Hungry twosomes can sink cutlery into the slow-cooked roasted lamb, which shouts inspirational quotes from a bed of seasonal rice and veggies, or the vegetarian Mediterranean pasta, a medley of French feta cheese, olives, and fresh tomatoes. Chicken breast sings in a shower of lemon butter and capers, and Groupon holders can pair any entree with a glass of weekly house red or white wine. Chew-a-thons conclude with the dessert of the day, a hopeless romance of sugar and decadent ingredients that entangles taste buds like a pulp thriller about jungle vines.

Cover your stomach with a warm, electric blanket of food. Today's Groupon gets you $40 worth of comfort food at Shadowland, a low-lit, intimate setting for a relaxing, nourishing, and potentially low-lit, intimate evening.
