Fine dining treats foodies to culinary artistry, while coarse dining treats them to a belly full of sandpaper. Keep dining smooth with today's Groupon to Tusq, located downtown on 21st Street East. Choose between the following dining options:

• For $30, you get $60 worth of dinner and drinks.
• For $15, you get $30 worth of lunch and drinks.

Tusq's dinner menu balances rich, bold flavours with traditional recipes. The open kitchen allows diners to peak into the mechanics of masterful cookery while feasting on braised elk with wild mushroom risotto ($29) or a smoked, 8 oz. tenderloin ($30) intensified with a lobster tail ($15). Or, pop in for lunch and munch on a fine selection of sandwiches, wraps, pastas, soups, and salads. At any time of day, patrons can linger over the lengthy wine list while making thoughtful comments to the slew of contemporary artworks affixed to Tusq's serene sage walls. On Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, dueling pianos take up épées and strike notes at each other with lightening-quick grace.
