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 288 degrees Celsius—you shouldn't be standing on that thing!" Demonstrate a high regard for safety by leaving the grilling to the professionals with today's Groupon to the Metropolitan Grill with two locations on 16th Avenue SW and 7th Avenue SW. The Metropolitan Grill serves a menu of new world cuisine with fresh ingredients and Californian and Mediterranean influences in a sleek, modern interior. A wine list of more than 150 wines from a variety of international wine regions complements the well-travelled fare. At the 16th Avenue location, Fridays and Saturdays get their Top 40's groove on with a DJ and dance floor staring at 10 pm. Outdoor dining is also available to overhear the nearby action on the 17th Avenue strip or find clouds shaped like parliament members. Choose between two dining options:

• For $18 you get $40 worth of dinner
• For $10 you get $20 worth of lunch
