Without steak, most Americans wouldn’t be able to justify owning such terrifyingly sharp steak knives, much less an entire rack of steak guns. Today's deal gives you a chance to use them: for $20, you get $40 worth of chophouse and wine bar specialties at The Grillroom, located in the Loop.

The Grillroom, a member of the Restaurants-America group, welcomes curious commuters and workday warriors to sate their stomachs before, between, and after their ceremonial clock-punches. Cozy up to the scents of steak, seafood, and freshly uncorked wine on the menu—starters include steamed mussels ($12) and tender sirloin sliders loaded with gorgonzola and topped with balsamic onions ($13). Guests can reward taste buds for good behavior with main plates such as tilapia topped in tomatillo, mango salsa, and crab guacamole ($18), and reformed vampires are encouraged to hang fangs on an 8-ounce filet mignon ($32, available at dinner only).

For liquid accompaniment, the servers at The Grillroom are pleased to share their extensive list of wine, specialty cocktails, and bottled beer. Toast to a wish for a weeklong winter or a month-long January as you relax in the warm, wood- and leather-lined dining area of The Grillroom.

Dine-in only.
