Hunger, unlike ambulance sirens, meningitis, and restraining orders, is not something you can safely ignore. Answer the mighty call of a bellowing belly with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of casual American fare and drinks at Sutton Place in Long Beach.

Sutton Place is a casual dining establishment boasting a large menu packed with innovative American dishes. Commence consumption with the twisted Kung Pao calamari ($13), a plate of affectionate face-licking chicken wings ($10), or delicately dine on the vegetable napolean ($11), a medley of balsamic-roasted portobello mushrooms, heirloom tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella. Specialty dishes include a Caribbean-spiced mahi-mahi ($22), served with shrimp and pineapple fried rice and intoxicated with a dark-rum piña-colada sauce, and a skirt steak with shrimp scampi ($26). Meatberg mongers will want to evaluate the caliber of the Kobe beef burger ($16), dressed in Jack Daniel's barbecue sauce and playing off the acerbic wit of house-cured pickles and pickled onions. The manually mischievous, however, can keep idle hands too busy to set fire to anything by filling them with the pulled Carolina pork sandwich ($9), the turkey club ($11), or the roasted portobello and vegetable wrap ($10). An extensive wine list and full bar menu is also available.

An airy indoor space, plentiful outdoor seating, and tall tables with wooden chairs make Sutton Place a versatile venue for large groups of friends and even larger groups of henchmen. Twenty TVs dot the walls of the dining area, bathing faces in the glowing warmth of high-definition football games and UFO demolition derbies. Acoustic music appeases auditory orifices during the evenings, and a late-night DJ provides more banging beats later in the evening.

This Groupon is valid for dine-in and dining-room orders only.
