Full Moon in Huron Village closed after 22 years. If you don’t have children of a certain age, you’ve probably never eaten there, but we do and we did. We even hosted a birthday party there once. The food was surprisingly solid. After that era in our lives passed, we hadn’t gone back in some years, but we happened to twice in November. We’ve known the owner, Sarah, casually for years. She looked a bit harried, but did not let on that they were soon to close.
@GretchenS may appreciate this walk through memory lane, but when we first moved into that neck of the woods in 1993, that space housed Pentimento. It seemed to me like a leftover “hippie-ish” restaurant from the 70s and early 80s – dim, a little run down, and tables always a bit greasy. When they closed a much better restaurant, Otto, took its place, but it only lasted 2 or 3 years. Full Moon has been a fixture in the neighborhood since 1997. Now it’s gone, the little combo store on the corner (part pharmacy, part PO, part candy-and-card store) is a Marimekko, and Fresh Pond Market is gone.
At least with Formaggio Kitchen taking over Fresh Pond Market, there’s hope that something good foodwise will take its place.
