Mom's in town! We met, along with T, for dinner Monday night at Herbie's Vintage 72. The restaurant is a tribute to Herbie Balaban, who died a dozen years ago. For decades, Balaban's Restaurant was at the same location, but after Herbie's death, it ran into some trouble. A few years ago, the owners of Monarch (about which I thought I had previously written, but I can't find it!) decided to buy the struggling restaurant, and HV72 was the result. So far, most reviews are positive.

52 Weeks of Dresses -- Week 30
Otherwise titled: Mom and Herbie
Mom's in town! We met, along with T, for dinner Monday night at Herbie's Vintage 72. The restaurant is a tribute to Herbie Balaban, who died a dozen years ago. For decades, Balaban's Restaurant was at the same location, but after Herbie's death, it ran into some trouble.

So far, most reviews are positive.
I had the French onion soup, which was decent but not the best I've had, for a starter. My entree was the Ligurian shrimp pasta, which was spicy and delicious. As a bonus, T got the cheese plate, which came with a a super creamy brie, and something else with a spiced rind that I can't remember, as well as a little baby grilled cheese with apricot jam. So good!
