Just Dinner, and a memory.


A restaurant review, then and now.

The beautiful dining area.


My 29th Birthday at Just Dinner

Just Dinner on Dunlavy has a special place in my heart. I wrote the review below when I went for the first time. The friendly owner, Andrew Rebori, who we got to know over the years, sadly passed away a year ago. I cried when I read the article Katharine Schilcutt wrote. At the time, it surprised me how upset I got. Then I realized how rare it is to come across a person so warm, humble, and welcoming. Just Dinner still has the same warmth and amazing food, and I think of Andrew every time I pass by or dine there.




Rebori will be remembered by his family and friends as the epitome of a restaurateur who loved his life. "He started each day thinking about food, shopping and gardening," said Lisa. "He daily met all his customers. He was always concerned about their comfort and satisfaction. He took tremendous pride in creating opportunities for people to talk to each other and to share a good meal."

And now my original review...
