You jogged my memory of long lost favorite haunts like The Great Caruso on Westheimer. Sadly it burned down. Great food, entertainment and fabulous old bar. Casablanca was a Moroccan restaurant with food served on large brass platters. A unique place not for everyone but it was a fun night out for my husband and I. Also The Ratskeller, down in a basement of I think The Houston House...can't remember for sure.
