BITTER HERB

Me and my old friends (or let me say former high school classmates...does that sound better?) rarely meet up so it was nice seeing them again. Two of the more successful ones treated the underdogs (in other words...the less fortunate ones) and that included me at Old Vine Grille in Eastwood.  Instead of ordering ala carte, they decided to try the buffet which I think is a good choice because their dishes are quite expensive.
