When someone's getting all up in your grill, the best thing to say is "You better step off! The surface temperature of grills can approach 550 degrees Fahrenheit—you shouldn't be standing on that thing!" Today's deal demonstrates a high regard for safety by leaving the grilling to the professionals: for $20, you get $40 worth of American regional cuisine grilled to perfection and drinks at Sauciety an American Grill, located on the waterfront of the National Harbor.

Flame-kiss the fresh-ingredientful menu and your fellow diners with a hot, saucy starter of the vegetable spring rolls (with Thai chili sauce, $9), and then dive into the meat of the menu with a full order of steamed pei mussels ($18). A trip to a grill is lacking without a skewer of meaty meat pieces, so have a combo skewer platter with impaled and roasted steak, shrimp, chicken, and vegetables ($28). Celebrate the waterfront views with an order of jumbo lump-crab cakes ($32) and a side of lobster macaroni ($10). All entrees come with a choice of two sauces, which range in intensity from sleepy baby to Al Pacino plays the Devil, including apricot tarragon, sweet Thai chili, blackberry demi, red-pepper aioli, green tomatillo, chipotle-mango chutney, and abominable snowman.

Diners at Sauciety have plenty of stimulation for all five senses with magnificent views from floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Washington's National Harbor. The airy atmosphere is filled with chic, modern tables and chairs, pieces of art, and a cascade of beaded glass. Atop the dining area rests a lounge for casual get-togethers, light fare, and drinks, such as a caramel-apple martini ($12), draft beer (starting at $5), and a bottle of Dom P ($300). Take a group of jet-setting friends to enjoy the ultramodern styling and classic American flavors at Sauciety, or dine alone and think about new ways to tie other people's shoes without drawing their attention.

This Groupon can be used for happy hour.
