When it is hungry, a stomach sends various signs, such as growling and tickling the pancreas. Avoid your stomach making a scene with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of contemporary American cuisine and drinks at The White Chocolate Grill in Naperville. This Groupon is valid for dinner (4 p.m.–10 p.m.) only, and it expires November 23, 2010.

The White Chocolate Grill's menu brims and bubbles with modern favorites made from fresh, top-shelf ingredients. Buzz your belly with the house-specialty tomato gin soup, a fiery medley of roasted tomato, mushroom, and smoked bacon spiked with a dose of Tanqueray gin ($5.99). For burgers, such as its popular cheeseburger ($9.99) and its BBQ bacon burger ($9.99), the grill grinds fresh chuck-roast each morning, sculpts it into the likeness of notable German chancellors, and grills it over live hardwood. Grizzly bears, meanwhile, may disguise themselves in trench coats and order the citrus-soy-glazed salmon ($17.99) or fulfill meaty fantasies with the prime-rib french dip, served on a toasted french roll slathered with mayonnaise and waiting patiently to be dunked into the steamy surrender of real beef au jus ($14.99).

But these dishes are mere openers for White Chocolate Grill's house-made white chocolate and decadent desserts for two. Romantically eye-wrestle with a date or landlord over a white-chocolate brownie ($7.59), a white-chocolate raspberry cheesecake ($7.59), or a white-chocolate banana-cream pie, where fresh bananas, vanilla pastry cream, and caramel balance atop a throne of graham cracker and chocolate-chunk crust ($7.59).

Rich wood, smooth stone, and soft lighting give White Chocolate Grill's Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired environment an elegant, modern ambience. Sleek booth seating and a fully stocked bar contribute to the subtle scent of sophistication, and the friendly, personable staff will try to meet any request, assuming it does not include finding the jade monkey before the next full moon.

Dine-in only. Not valid for split bills/checks.

Reviews

Seventy Yelpers give The White Chocolate Grill a 3.5-star average, and World of Naperville recommends it:

• The [seared sesame crusted ahi] tuna had a wondrously dark rich red color to it which speaks quality. The combination of the continually blending flavor of the dressing with the cabbage kept me from putting my chop sticks [sic] down even after finishing the last pieces of fish. – Stuart Meyer, World of Naperville
• I LOVED this food. My cocktails were delicious and I had the best steak I've ever had there. – Billy E., Yelp
