Sundays: Warm weather seems to have inspired a new wave of Sunday suppers. At Whist at the Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica, chef Tony DiSalvo introduces “Savor Sundays,” with three-course dinners offered until June 20 ($27 per person). Beacon is in on it too. For May and June, the Asian bistro in Culver City is serving three-course Sunday suppers for $20.10. Ammo in Hollywood recently launched its “Sunday Roast” three-course dinner series, this weekend celebrating Mom ($32 per person). And Sashi Sushi & Sake Lounge has kicked off Sashi Sundays with two-for-one carafes of sake sangria, a build-your-own Bloody Mary bar and $9 small plates.

Mondays and Tuesdays: On Monday nights at Cube, executive pastry chef Jun Tan presents Dessert Bar, with $5 dessert plates (sized for ordering several). Dessert flights (as well as cheese flights and wine pairings) are served at the cafe’s cheese counter only. Examples? Warm maple syrup brioche with caramelized bacon ice cream and sour raspberry compote or tres leches cake with vanilla bean parfait and milk meringue. Tuesdays are for Lasagna Lab, when executive chef Erin Eastland collaborates with owner Alex Palermo to create lasagnas such as white lasagna with Fatted Calf duck sausage, fava tendrils and Pecorino. Dessert Bar starts May 31 and Lasagna Lab on June 1, continuing through September.
