Raincity Grill

1193 Denman St. Vancouver, British Columbia
(604) 685-7337

Today’s Groupon: for $125, you get a dining experience for two at Raincity Grill (a $250 total value). The experience includes the following:

  • A 10-course tasting menu for two (a $200 value). This is valid during lunch and dinner hours Monday–Friday.
  • A $50 gift certificate, valid for redemption beginning December 26. Entrees range from $19 to $36.

Nestled along the scenic False Creek waterfront, Raincity Grill dazzles palates with award-winning service and upscale Pacific Northwest cuisine. Executive chef Robert Clark leads the restaurant’s team of culinary wizards in transforming locally sourced ingredients into a 10-course tasting menu, which kicks off as a spoonful of seafood arancini opens for a demitasse of squash soup, melding toasted sunflower seeds and crème fraîche. Servers keep the food train chugging with North Arm Farm beetroot salad and Vancouver Island manila clams, followed by a mushroom risotto that fuels gustatory second winds with a motivational speech delivered by the parmesan. Confit of pork belly takes the arduous trek from plate to mouth with a steadfast sidekick of puréed quince, and Peace River lamb cheek flies into mouths wearing a cape of honey and horseradish.

Upon arriving at the three-course finale with all limbs intact, tandems flood mouth-caves with dulcet waves from an apple-and-pear sorbet, pumpkin pot de crème, and house-made hazelnut macaroons. While taste buds revel in the flavours, eyes can drink in panoramic views of the water and urban Sasquatches—vistas afforded by the multilevel dining room’s floor-to-ceiling windows.

Amid dark wood, red walls, and the glow of crimson-hued lamps, Scarlet Tapas Lounge’s master chef deftly assembles armies of small plates featuring handcrafted eats forged from fresh ingredients. Tandem diners can snuggle into a candlelit table and synchronize swallowing velocities over a trio of savory tapas, such as the house stuffed jalapeno poppers, brimming with mozzarella and sharp cheddar cheese aged two years to ensure enough maturity to not throw itself at neighbouring patrons during dinner. House-made sweet-potato perogies turn the traditional Slavic dumplings on their pillowy heads, and barbecued rib eye, kimchi, and sriracha aioli join flavourful forces when nestled inside the Korean-style barbecue steak wraps. Goblets of red or white wine keep talk boxes hydrated throughout relaxed meals.

Alternatively, party animals can assemble up to 30 family members, friends, or strangers looking to practice a new handshake style in Scarlet Tapas Lounge’s VIP room for a private three-hour soiree. Guests quaff refreshing libations while milling about sultry vermillion decor and basking in the glow of big-screen TVs. Bite-size comestibles such as sliders, crab cakes, and chocolate-covered strawberries keep tummies fuelled up for three hours’ worth of frolicking, and friendly staff remain on hand to help keep festivities afloat.

Today’s Groupon: for $47, you get a deluxe manicure (a $40 value) and deluxe pedicure (a $55 value) at Bling Nails & Beauty Lounge (up to a $95 total value).

Described as a “beautiful and unique” nail salon in TheStyleSpy’s 2010 Readers’ Choice Awards, Bling Nails & Beauty Lounge staffs a team of nail techs who pamper appendages with mani-pedis. During deluxe pedicures, guests sink into a multifunction massage chair, dunking digits in an imported foot soak that softens calluses and cuticles and wafts a choice of pleasing scents such as peppermint or wads of money. Hooves then enjoy a cuticle restoration, nail shaping, callus removal, and an all-natural, sugar-based foot-and-leg scrub. An aromatherapy oil massage further soothes fussy feet, followed by a hot-towel treatment, lotion, and hydrating paraffin therapy before technicians coat keratin in choice of polish colour.

Similarly, the deluxe manicure dips hands into a soak that preps paws for filing and cuticle cleanup. Next, digits dive into a bath of warm paraffin wax that saturates rough patches and dry creases to restore skin’s silky splendour. Techs then tend to hands and arms with an oil massage, hot towel, lotion, and motivational life coaching. Bling maintains a cleanly salon through using a combination of one-time-use nail-neatening supplies and stainless-steel instruments soaked in alcohol before boiling in antibacterial-soapy water.

Showroom Auto Spa’s agile technicians reanimate sullied car shells with a suite of power-cleaning, hand-waxing, and buffing treatments. During the 120- to 150-minute service, staffers prep the exterior paint with a power clean, then enlist a tag team of fallout remover, clay bar, and solvent cleanse to sweep contaminants from the surface and send them to star as villains in soap commercials. After a second rinse to pummel any lingering gunk, techs armor the car’s manicured complexion in a layer of high-grade carnauba hand wax, which huddles protectively around the revitalized finish. Cleaners then clean and brush the wheels and spruce up the tires with dressing and conditioner, and punctuate the process with a window buffing. The wash and wax also includes interior services, such as a carpet vacuum, floor mat power cleaning, and a light wipe down. During the Aquapel treatment, techs dress windshields in water-repelling treatments that improve visibility for up to six months during inclement weather and water-balloon attacks from moody clouds.

  • For $79, you get one LipoLaser fat reduction treatment (a $300 value).
  • For $199, you get three LipoLaser fat reduction treatments (a $900 value).

The certified technicians at New Look Laser help clients comfortably slim physiques and smooth over cellulite with noninvasive LipoLaser treatments. During each approximately 40-minute session, the fat-fighting expert secures multiple low-intensity probes to the skin, targeting fatty tissue layers without the injections or tight body-wraps made of fitness magazines that other treatments require. Multiple cold, low-level light beams battle fatty cells until they break down, absorb into the blood stream, and flush out of the body, potentially leaving skeleton suits up to one inch slimmer. Because the laser doesn’t rely on heat, body owners can leave their treatments with virtually no downtime, bruising, swelling, or pain. Cellulite and fat can start to retreat after a single session, but New Look Laser typically recommends two sessions every four to six weeks or whenever clients have had to inflate themselves to escape a flood.

Glasses of Neck of the Woods’ red or white Nosey Neighbour or their blanc de noir sparkling then prod taste buds for the latest gossip while patrons partake in hearty helpings of crackers, three kinds of cheese, and Brix chocolate that pair well with the wine and food-rainbow decor scheme.
