The Upper Kirby restaurant has an exclusive speakeasy feel where every table is full of people smoking hookah while listening to live music. But when the band isn’t playing, expect the DJ to spin smooth ‘90s R&amp;B loud enough to sway in your seat but low enough to hear your thoughts. Come here when you want to experience Jodeci over a Cuban or just need an Old Fashioned with a fried catfish plate. </p><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><p></p></div>

The Infatuation

Just a few blocks from the Third Street Promenade, this French spot from the people behind Bar Monette feels much chiller than the surrounding chaos of Santa Monica’s tourist crowds. And, based on a first visit, it seems best utilized as a calm place to split a cheese plate at the curved bar, sip a glass of wine by candlelight, and call it a night. The over-seasoned share plates lack cohesive flow and are generally expensive for what you’re getting (looking at you, $16 wasabi brussels sprouts and $18 roasted mushrooms). Even the namesake burgers are really just overdone patties hiding under one-too-many scoops of salty gribiche, and lukewarm fries could use a little more cooking time. We’ll check back in soon to try more of the food. Until then, take down the soggy, bland chicken cordon bleu burger at your own discretion, but don't say we didn't warn you.

There is something so satisfying about fresh baked bread, it can make all the difference in the experience of so many dishes, especially when a mix-up could potentially make you sick or worse. This recall was initiated after it was discovered during an audit at least one employee used the wrong ingredient on the bread. Food allergies are overreactions by the immune system and can be serious, many people with allergies of course attempt to avoid the ingredients that give them issues and sometimes it simply is not possible because you didnt know.

The Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts recently introduced Chewbacca, nicknamed Chewy, who they describe as a funny fella who loves everyone. “This adorable mutt is built like an oversized Shih Tzu and weighs 25 lbs. Since he was found as a stray and never claimed, we don't know much about his past.” Chewy has a personality as unique as his looks. "He is overly friendly with all, dogs included. He can come on a bit strong but in the kindest way. He wants everyone to be his friend!" states the Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts, who is currently caring for Chewy until he finds his forever home.
