A Dish Is Just A Dish

To celebrate Valentine's Day, D and I went out for a romantic dinner Saturday night. We like to go the weekend before instead of the weekend after, because it's much easier to get a reservation. We tried Casablanca, the restaurant under the Brattle Theatre in Harvard Square. It has big murals on the walls of scenes and characters from the film, which is interesting, but what's really post-worthy is the FOOD. The food was exquisite. You really should go.

Every dish we had was delicious, but the most outstanding was the grilled breast served as part of my entree of "Duck Two Ways" (grilled breast and confit with wilted spinach over wild rice and roasted pear). Even though I had to get it pretty thoroughly cooked due to pregnancy, even medium-well-to-well it was soft and tender and not dry. D, who generally doesn't eat poultry, was amazed at the flavor; it tasted like a tender steak.
