Long before The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Harvard and Radcliffe types would put on trench coats and head to the Brattle Theatre to see Casablanca, rising to recite the Bogart and Bergman lines in unison. Then it was on to this restaurant, where the walls are painted with scenes from the film, for more of the same. The path to this local institution is still well worn, thanks to deep-flavored wild mushroom tart and slow-roasted leg of lamb with charred tomatoes. The bar still attracts a worldly graduate-student crowd with its range of local beers and classic cocktails.

A good Harvard Square basement level spot, basically New American with some Mediterranean influences. Good solid food and service, nicely straddling the cheap and expensive gamut, and one of the best options in its price range in the area.
