Frommer's Review

This old-time Harvard Square favorite has long been better known for its hopping bar scene than for its food, but these days the dining room is the place where you're sure to get lucky. Service is erratic (it's better at lunch than at dinner), and there's plenty to look at while you wait. The walls of the long, sky-lit dining room and crowded, noisy bar sport murals of scenes from the movie Casablanca. Humphrey Bogart looks as though he might lean down to ask for a taste of your roasted butternut squash and pear soup or braised lamb shank with arugula pesto. The appetizers and tapas are so good that you might want to assemble them into a meal -- start with the Turkish meze plate or fried calamari. Just be sure to leave room for dessert; I don't usually have much use for fruit when there's chocolate around, but the apple tart here made me reconsider.
