People eat three times a day to prevent mouthy mouths from brashly blurting out their distaste for the rest of the digestive system. Today's Groupon prevents inner-system quarreling by subduing chatty cheeks with upscale eats: for $20, you get $40 worth of upscale American fare and drinks at Whitfield’s Restaurant & Bar in West Nashville. This Groupon is valid for dine-in only, and reservations are recommended.

Whitfield’s Restaurant & Bar frees diners from the doldrums of uninspired dining with an upscale, yet comfortable ambience and a seasonally driven menu that's more mouth-watering than a dental appointment. Avoid snacking on cracker packets and aged caviar scooped from the depths of jacket pockets: tasty appetizers such as the buttermilk-fried oysters ($10), combined with a glass of wine such as the Cavit pinot grigio ($7.50), will prime palates for a flavorful onslaught. Sounding your hunger-horn will summon specialties like and orange-chili-glazed pork chop ($22) with mashed brown-sugar sweet potatoes and cranberry-almond swiss chard; Painted Hills all-natural filet mignon ($34) with caramelized onion-bacon mach, parsnip chips, and asparagus; and Springer Mountain roasted chicken ($20), which struts in with its entourage of stone-ground gruyere grit soufflé, zucchini and squash ratatouille, and mushroom ragout. For a sweet finish to the feast, the Jack Daniel's chocolate bread pudding ($7.50) adds a twist to a traditional dessert by turning it into chocolate bread pudding. Additionally, patrons can enjoy a live piano bar, allowing them to leave their baby grands at home with the piano-sitter.

Upscale dining establishments were once accessible only to the landed gentry due to the obligatory Fabergé egg fights that occurred in lieu of dessert. Leave your gem-encrusted eggshells in the fridge and sample a smattering of savory seasonal dishes with today’s Groupon to Whitfield’s Restaurant & Bar.
