Tone Deaf I heard you—we all did—on Caltrain the other morning, your humming as tuneless as it was loud. Was that actually a song, or just some random noise you needed to make? Can’t you hear yourself? Even if you somehow didn’t realize how off-key and noisy you were, didn’t you wonder why everyone in the train car kept giving you the stink eye? Maybe you’d hum in the car if you drove to work. So please, either start driving to work or just shut the hell up.

ITH A strong bar program and a menu of Asian and European bistro fare—not to mention a prime location near downtown San Jose’s San Pedro Square Market—SP2 Communal Bar + Restaurant has all the makings to grow into a new favorite during the South Bay’s current restaurant renaissance.

Exposed wooden beams and brick walls reflect San Pedro Square’s rustic look, while large sliding glass doors and modern furnishings also lend the space a sleek lounge feel. A spacious outdoor patio, with plenty of wide couches, is well-suited to groups, executing the communal concept of the restaurant.

SP2 offers classic cocktails such as the Moscow Mule and Old Fashioned as well as house creations. The Sandia Smokey ($10) blends refreshing watermelon juice with Aperol, rounding out their sweetness with the smoky flavor of mezcal. Fiery chili powder rimming the glass added an enjoyable kick.

The food menu has a bit of everything, from creative salads to pastas and flatbreads, as well as several bistro-style entrees. Portion sizes were ample enough for sharing a dish around the table and there were some unanimous favorites in our group.

The ginger soy glazed baby back ribs ($14 for half rack) were out-of-thisworld tender and had a perfect sweet-and-salty flavor. A close second to the ribs were the steamed mussels ($16) with jalapeños and house-made chorizo in cream sauce. The sauce was big on flavor but light on heat, slightly sweet and perfect for sopping up with the grilled bread that comes with the dish.

The burrata plate ($12), shrimp ceviche ($12) as well as the roasted beet and watermelon salad ($12) were light summer appetizers that worked well for sharing. The broccoli rabe and prosciutto flatbread ($16) didn’t quite live up to the appeal of its menu description, falling flat with broccoli rabe’s overly bitter flavor dominating the dish.

SP2 falters slightly when it comes to service. Seatings can sometimes come to a halt, despite the crowds seeming relatively light. Additionally, our server betrayed little excitement over the food or drinks; no real dialogue existed.

Instead, servers seemed overloaded, with time allowing simply for order taking.

These are minor but noticeable lapses one wouldn’t expect with veteran restaurateurs Agamie Melchiano and Ryan Hisamune at the helm.

Brunch is available on weekends and the menu looked very inviting.

Perhaps the winner, though, is the happy hour with $5 select cocktails, $4 draft beers and $5 bar bites, including those delicious glazed ribs.—Jeff Cianci SP2 72 N. Almaden Ave., San Jose; 408.299.2000 or sp2sanjose.com.

LOOK TO THE FUTURE Intermix’s Palo Alto location, which opened last month, aims to capture the Bay Area’s chill attitude.

In the Mix

ISTRESSED WOOD-paneled walls, perforated leather shelving and three-dimensional art installations from local artist Aleksandra Zee Intermix add up to a "chill-luxe vibe" that’s meant to pervade the Peninsula’s new 885 El Camino Real, Intermix boutique. The store opened Town & Country Village recently in Palo Alto's Town and (Building 2), Palo Alto.

Country Village.

650.462.1275

Intermix’s interiors, in design and neutral palette, were inspired by local architectural styles, with fixtures and decor created from a mix of natural and industrial materials.

Founder and CEO Khajak Keledjian opened Intermix’s first ready-to-wear meets high-fashion boutique in 1993.

The Palo Alto store is the newest among Intermix’s 38 locations. And after having been acquired by Gap Inc. in 2012, Intermix has a parent company with local roots.

Stores stock garments specific to their region, and accordingly, the Palo Alto location caters to Bay Area style. CEO Keledjian describes his vision of Northern California fashion as "Laidback.

Chill. Polished." The store’s racks feature an array of light cotton shirts, brightly colored dresses, fitted jackets and leather sandals, while accessories include dainty gold necklaces and chunky bracelets.

Price points range from $100 to $10,000, and the store carries brands such as Rag & Bone, Phillip Lim, Chloe, and Saint Laurent.—Shaina Tsan

ADVICE GODDESS

By AMY ALKON

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

instead of renting a tux. And instead of basically telling bridesmaids “Go give Vera Wang $200,” you request something like, “Please wear fall colors.” Regarding location, a ceremony at a nearby lake pavilion or in Granny’s garden will be no less moving than one at the Maui Four Seasons, and people will cry just the same when the couple dance their first dance whether the band is Beyonce or an MP3 mix.

Before you decline this invitation, consider your priorities. Even if your friends didn’t think to make attending their wedding affordable, they might resent you for not going into debt to come. In my mind, these aren’t real friends and they’re confusing a wedding with a telethon, but you may have reasons for wanting to keep them in your life.

As for how to decline, you could just be honest. Times are tough all around.

(When I do buy clothing, it is “previously enjoyed” and arrives crammed into a recycled envelope by the eBay seller.)

Another option is making up a story for why you can’t attend (Family obligation!

Pre-existing work thing!) and then staying off Facebook so you don’t get tagged in a lie. If you do go, you might consider starting a new wedding tradition: Other people throw rice; you sweep it up afterward (so you can have something on your plate for the next month besides the little pattern around the rim).

This great guy I’ve started dating is doting and sweet but, careerwise, lacks ambition and seems comfortable floating by with minimal effort. Unlike him, I am extremely ambitious. Is it okay to date men who are still “figuring things out”? —Driven It sounds like your boyfriend is really going places. Mainly to the fridge and then back to the couch.

A guy who appears to model his career trajectory on driftwood is unlikely to suddenly become ambitious. Sure, there are people who have a catastrophic accident and realize life is short and they’d better get cracking, but it isn’t like you can wait for him to get into (and then miraculously recover from) a motorcycle crash to become the man you’d respect and admire.

To avoid getting drawn into a relationship that’s ultimately wrong

for you, come up with what I call “Man Minimums”—a list of essential traits a guy has to have to stay in the running to be your boyfriend. One of yours might be “shows potential and the drive to achieve it.” A guy like this will experience setbacks along the way but then turn his wrong moves into arrows toward the right ones. So, yes, as a person who seems to value ambition, it’s okay for you to date men who are still figuring things out—as long as what they’re figuring out isn’t that you can reach for the stars.

With one hand. And then roll over and go back to sleep.

A friend asked me to be a groomsman in his wedding. It’s being held hours away, and the only hotel is pricey. With tux rental, attending will cost me over $500. I’ll also have to miss work. (I’m a waiter.) Is it okay to decline a wedding invitation because it’s too expensive to attend? —Not Richie Rich Instead of just sending regrets, it’s tempting to passive-aggressively express your resentment: “Unfortunately, I have a conflict—in that I have to make my car payment.”

Some couples may only have friends who are big investment bankers who light their cigars ’90s-style, with $20 bills.

But in this economy, at least a handful of a couple’s pals will probably RSVP with something like, “Dude, I really wanna be there, but I can’t find another waiter to cover my shift.” Also, people in their 20s and 30s, prime time for marrying, can be invited to several weddings in a single summer. Costs for hotels, flights, clothes and gifts can add up, and that’s really not fair. (Being there on even your most special friend’s special day shouldn’t mean you have to take the bus for a year.)

It’s up to the couple getting married to throw the sort of wedding their friends and relatives can afford to attend (or at least not get miffy that some invitees won’t be flush enough to come). That said, being fiscally inclusive seems the warm, hospitable thing to do, like making sure your vegetarian friends have something to eat—instead of just harrumphing, Marie Antoinette-style, “Let them eat steak!”

The truth is, it’s possible to throw even a fancier wedding without bleeding the invitees. “Black tie optional” allows groomsmen and others to wear a suit
