Restaurants offer diners both a delicious reprieve from the kitchen and a secure environment that makes it virtually impossible for the dish to run away with the spoon. Keep your eating implements obedient with today’s Groupon to 1750 Ordinary in Cary. Choose between two options:

• For $10, you get $20 worth of dinner fare.
• For $6, you get $12 worth of lunch fare.

The skilled culinary staff at 1750 Ordinary serves up classic fare done contemporarily. Appease a grumbling appetite with a selection from the seafood-centric yet well-rounded menu. Choice eats include fried-green tomatoes with jumbo lump crab ($9.50) and the fried-grouper Reuben, which is smothered in sauerkraut, swiss, and Thousand Island dressing, then hugged between rye ($9). While feasting, fixate free-floating eyes on the coolly lit interior, which is home to multiple flat screens, a shuffleboard table, and more good times than a television network dedicated to syndicated sitcoms of the ‘70s.
