 I'm glad this subject title came up again.  I just ate at Anago Bistro
 last nite (798 Main St., Central Sq., Cambridge) and it was great.  On
 Tues.-Thurs. they have a tasting menu for $35 which we got and loved.
 Tomatos with mozzarella and bruschetta with lobster and mushrooms for
 appetizers; halibut with polenta and grilled lobster and scallops with
 risotto for the fish course; grilled venison for meat; triple chocolate
 cake and strawberry and fig tart for dessert.  Way too much food but
 obviously worth the money.  The chef makes his choice from the regular
 menu which for the first time in a while, almost everything jumped out
 at me.  Lately it seems like there's nothing that really grabs me.
 It's a small place and good for a birthday.
