Bistros are remarkable in that they somehow manage to be both fancy and casual at the same time, much like a necktie with Bugs Bunny on it. Feel gussied up without too much fuss with today's Groupon to Bitten Appetizer and Dessert Bistro. Choose from the following options:

• For $20, you get $40 worth of gourmet bistro fare and drinks during dinner.
• For $7, you get $15 worth of gourmet bistro fare and drinks during lunch.
• For $10, you get $20 worth of gourmet bistro fare and drinks during Sunday brunch.

Bitten's chefs pair a menagerie of sandwiches, small plates, and desserts with more than 20 wines. Diners can peruse an eclectic menu, which includes the pulled-pork sandwich's succulent strata of caramelized onions, brie, and apples (lunch, $10). Like high-fives and plans for global domination, small dinner plates work best when shared, so divide and conquer dishes of seared beef and barbecued chicken ($12) or Cajun seared scallops with cashew risotto ($9). Desserts, such as a mini chocolate cake with torched marshmallow and caramel sauce ($6), sing sweet solos in the bistro's culinary cabaret finale, which concludes with the lowering of a Barefoot Cellars red-wine curtain ($5.25/glass, $19/bottle). The Sunday menu keeps appetites guessing with a rotation of brunch plates and cocktails, which accompany prenoon mainstays such as three-egg omelettes ($10), waffle combos ($11), and barbershop rooster quartets.
