nothing more than pureed tomatoes with some onions and stock.\u00a0 This was not the case at Gibby&#8217;s.\u00a0 The soup had the &#8220;proper&#8221; tangy taste and was presented well &#8211; not sloppy like many other places.\u00a0 As a main, I had the Rack of Lamb &#8211; Youville, which was marinated in fine herbs with a side of rice.\u00a0 Other starch choices are a baked or Monte Carlo (double baked, stuffed potato).\u00a0 Main courses come with asparagus and a small piece of roasted red pepper.\u00a0 Though the lamb was juicy and delicious, I would have preferred more vegetables and less rice.\u00a0 Otherwise, I would definitely recommend the lamb if you don&#8217;t want steak or fish.\u00a0 If you&#8217;re not a fan of lamb, chicken kiev is also good.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.delectablychic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/lambyouville.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"5607\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.delectablychic.com\/gibbys\/lambyouville\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.delectablychic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/lambyouville.jpg?fit=500%2C375&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"500,375\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"lambyouville\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.delectablychic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/lambyouville.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.delectablychic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/lambyouville.jpg?fit=500%2C375&amp;ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5607\" title=\"lambyouville\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.delectablychic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/lambyouville.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.delectablychic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/lambyouville.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.delectablychic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/lambyouville.jpg?resize=150%2C112&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.delectablychic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/lambyouville.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><strong><em>Lamb d&#8217;Youville<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because my meal was so heavy, I decided to go light on the dessert and had strawberries with cream, which was an addition\/special when I was there.\u00a0 If you&#8217;re looking for pastries, the hot apple croute, a delicious pastry served with apples, caramel and vanilla ice cream is a good choice (but I recommend that this be shared with someone else.
