Zov's for Mom's Birthday

It's been seven years since my Mom passed away, but every year on or around her birthday, we still celebrate her birthday by doing something she loved: having dinner at a nice restaurant. We don't get too crazy, like getting a birthday cake or anything (that would be weird). No, we just enjoy a nice meal in her memory.

For this year's birthday dinner, we selected Zov's Bistro in Tustin. Upscale, with a Mediterranean menu, Zov's was definitely a great dining experience. For our appetizer, we chose Lebni, a plate of seasoned yogurt cheese, string cheese, cucumbers and warm pita bread. It was excellent.

For our entrees, Tim ordered the Red Curry Halibut, which he enjoyed very much. Meanwhile, I ordered the Seafood Tagine, consisting of new zealand mussels, manila clams, tiger prawns, lalibut wrapped in grape leaves and toasted couscous, with a spicy saffron broth. It was incredible.

We finished the evening off with iced coffee drinks and we shared the bread pudding with fresh berries. It was a great meal and a great tribute to my Mom. Happy Birthday!
