Most modern cuisine is a continuation of classic dishes, just as a computer is a slightly modified typewriter and a washing machine is a river in a box. Revel in palatable progress with today's Groupon to Q Bistro in Forest Hills. Choose between the following options:

• For $20, you get $40 worth of upscale dinner fare and drinks.
• For $10, you get $20 worth of weekend brunch.

Q Bistro's unconventional platings and diverse array of world cuisine enliven the senses with edible colors and elegant flavors. Like the sun's attitude, the menu changes with the seasons, with bistro classics and small plates such as the razor-cut Spanish octopus ($12). Sate meaty cravings with the massive 14-ounce Black Angus Q bistro burger with hand-cut fries ($12), or try an order of pan-seared diver sea scallops ($24) to plunge to the depths of mealtime satisfaction. Each weekend, the brunch menu unites the warring factions of breakfast and lunch with dishes such as crepes with Chantilly cream and wildberry-cabernet compote ($14) and cured Arctic char served with toasted baguettes and whipped dill goat cheese ($14). Brunch orders also include a complimentary bloody mary, mimosa, glass of wine, or color.
