Restaurant dining provides the intimacy and camaraderie of a three-legged race without the possibility of losing to a pair of third graders. Cultivate dining relationships with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of dinner fare and drinks at Victor's Maywood Inn in Maywood.

Victor's Maywood Inn's extensive dinner menu spans culinary continents, with dishes drawn from American, Italian, Spanish, and French traditions. Begin dinner with an order of crabmeat-stuffed mushrooms ($8.50). Fresh, thin-crust pizzas, such as the fresh diced-tomato and basil pie (16", $14.95), satiate circular-supper cravings, eliminating the need for another meal comprised solely of cookies. Entrees such as the fettuccini Sinatra, with cream sauce, scallops, shrimp, and crab tossed in imported pasta ($20.95), include trips to the bounteous salad bar. Chicken and veal entrees are cooked in a choice of seven international styles, such as veal San Miguel, sautéed and stacked with thinly sliced eggplant, ripe tomatoes, and melted fontina cheese ($21.95). For New World flavor, Victor's quintessential American burger tramples taste buds with a half-pound longhorn sirloin patty and a side of fries ($12.95).
