The flicker of gas lanterns. The flounce of petticoats. Weekends at country mansions. The spirit of the Victorian era lives on in the imagination and across the grounds of The Stone Lion Inn. Here, leaded glass still lines the bookcases and the tubs all have claw feet. Built in 1907, the secluded mansion's corridors seem like something out of a mayhem, murder mystery—and they frequently are during its regular whodunits.

For all its Victorian-style trappings, guests are still free to eat breakfast at the 200-year-old French table. French-press coffee pairs with a different quiche each day and fresh berries in rum cream. From there, guests might spend the day reading in the library, practicing their pageant walk down the sweeping staircase, or gazebing in the gazebo until they're plum gazebed out.

With a passion for their authentically inspired sauces, the cooks at Roma's Italian Restaurant top virtually all of their entrees with zesty marinara, decadent alfredo, or wine-based lemon sauce. They use vegetables bought directly from farmers’ markets to adorn house-made baked pastas or savory meats sautéed in pure olive oil. When they aren’t using the ovens to bake New York–style pizzas or to cathartically incinerate grueling crossword puzzles, they fire them up to bring meat-filled calzones and house-made rolls to golden-brown fruition.

You're probably thinking, "That sounds great, but I've never bought a car or a computer without first reading the Wikipedia definitions for car and computer—I'm not about to buy a Groupon either without a briefing." Well neither would we, and since this is everyone's first Groupon, allow us to briefly explain how it works.

The Market-C menu puts all the finest culinary creations from Cheevers Café, Iron Starr Urban Barbeque, Red PrimeSteak, and Cheevers Catering in one place—a remodeled Phillips 66 station on Route 66. Rubbed in a blend of seven different peppers, lemon zest, and fresh rosemary, the crispy half-roasted chicken ($5.95 each) is Market-C's most popular menu item. Fast approaching it in popularity is the newcomer, beef wellingtons ($2 each). Seafarers, on the other hand, will dig fresh Atlantic salmon crusted with Oklahoma pecans and topped with maple soy sauce ($11.99 each). Pair any of the foodie finds with gourmet sides, sauces, and snacks such as jicama slaw ($2.95), Market monkey bread ($5.95), or Oklahoma caviar ($6.95). For dessert, try the Market-C loaded brownie ($4.95 each)—which uses a cake-batter recipe and tops the creation with a layer of gooey caramel and Callebaut chocolate chips—or a nostalgic orange Dreamsicle cupcake ($2 each). Befitting its perch on the nation's Mother Road, Market-C's beverages come from all over, including Sioux City Sarsparilla ($1.95) and Dublin Dr. Pepper ($1.95), which still uses the original, pure cane-sugar recipe instead of the deweaponized nerve-toxins currently favored by the soft-drink industry.

Sage's lunch menu indulges your childlike culinary pleasures with grown-up versions that will make you feel wildly sophisticated even when you're feasting on the fare of five-year-olds. Five types of mac 'n' cheese, all served with a Waldorf salad, range from the indulgent (three-cheese, $9) to the unexpected (Greek 'n' cheese with feta, diced tomatoes, and kalamata olives, $10). Avocado-seafood salad starring grilled shrimp and scallops atop a bedding of baby mixed greens, red onion, and broccoli florets ($11) provides a protein-packed midday munch. You can also spike a Sage club sandwich (roast turkey, roast beef, turkey bacon, baby lettuce, tomatoes, and sharp cheddar, $10) or a Western burger (barbecue sauce, cheddar, red onions, turkey bacon, $11) with selections from the salt bar. Sage offers a variety of premium sea salts, from apricot-hued Murray River to oceanic Cyprus Flake to the tropical coconut-and-lime-flavored Bali Smoked. Choose three with your meal for $2. Sage's dinner menu features the same items with different pricing.
