Steak is useful for exercising incisors, muffling trumpets, and reducing swelling from black eyes caused by trying to eat steak with one's eye. Put steak to its prototypical use with today's Groupon to Onyx Steakhouse & Lounge, located on Johnston Road. Onyx stacks its menu with certified premium black angus reserve steaks, all dry aged in-house for no less than 35 days before they're gently massaged with Onyx's flavourful signature rub. Besides succulent steaks, the nosherie houses such hearty eats as fan favourite gorgonzola mac n' cheese ($7) and an opulent stuffed filet mignon burger ($14.95), stacked with provolone, bacon, and tobacco onions. Relax in a wing back chair, blend in with the casually cool décor, and unloosen the buckles of your superhero belt as you indulge in savoury fare and Onyx's ample stock of wine and signature cocktails.

Reviews

OpenTable.com reviewers give Onyx Steakhouse a 4.3 out of 5 star average and have made it a Diners' Choice Winner, while Vancouver Magazine recommends it:

• The seasonal cocktails are outstanding (try the cranberry-tart, vodka-based Amour Rouge), and the detailed wine list (which encompasses everything from a Beaulieu Vineyards Cab Sav at $29 to a 2005 Château Haut-Brion at $1,800) complements unexpected appetizers (saganaki, tomato gin soup) and sturdy cuts of house-aged, Angus AAA signature reserve Alberta beef. – Vancouver Magazine
• Fantastic steak…cooked to perfection. Great service from arriving to leaving. No detail spared by the staff. – OpenTable.com reviewer who dined on 10/07/2010
