Simple laziness has spurred many culinary inventions, including the sandwich, the blender, and the pizza, which was invented as a way to wheel heavy ingredients from place to place. Transport your palate with today’s Groupon to Peridot Resto.Lounge. Choose between the following options:

• For $37, you get a three-course dinner for two (up to a $74 value).
• For $65, you get a three-course dinner for four (up to a $148 value).<p>

Each three-course dinner includes the following: * One starter or salad per person (up to an $11 value) * One entree or pasta per person (up to a $19 value) * One dessert per person (a $7 value)<p>

The chefs at Peridot Resto.Lounge nix hunger pangs with their Italian-centric delights from the eatery’s robust menu of Mediterranean fare. After spying a table in Peridot’s two-storey dining environs, twosomes and foursomes survey starters and salads such as Greek-style kefalotiri cheese, set aflame tableside by the resident dragon. Entrees range from pan-seared Atlantic salmon atop a bed of spinach to penne tossed with chorizo bolognese, rapini, nutmeg, and shaved grana padano. Come dessert, confections including New York–style passion-fruit cheesecake or banana, pistachio, and chocolate crepes deliver a decadent denouement more dramatic than eating a melodrama script. The Angus striploin entree is not valid as part of this offer.

Pairs and quartets can grab a libation at one of two bars (not included in today’s deals) before exploring the heated rooftop patio or lounge. Peridot’s simple, sleek decor surrounds guests in interiors that contrast in tone and texture, balancing hardwood floors against plush, chocolate-coloured and flavoured fabrics.
