Dining Out NUBAR If you were familiar with the old-fashioned restaurant formerly at the landmark Sheraton Commander Hotel in Harvard Square, then Nubar, the newly renovated eatery that stands in its place, will be a revelation. For those who weren’t familiar with the Commander’s old dining space, welcome to one of Cambridge’s newest places to enjoy the freshest New England cuisine around. With a modern and stylish decor highlighted by dark wood floors, cream-colored walls, a sleek bar and a cozy lounge warmed by a gas fireplace, Nubar boasts an elegant and breezy atmosphere thanks to its high ceilings and open floor plan. The decor is not the only thing that is brand new, however. The menu has been reinvented as well, taking advantage of the bounty available throughout the region with a heavy emphasis on local ingredients. Updated takes on crowd pleasers like grilled steak frites and the Nubar burger (Angus beef served on a brioche bun) are joined by Nubar’s variations on Yankee staples, such as Maine peeky toe crabcake, Gloucester cod, Pat’s littleneck clam roast (served on angel hair pasta with baby shrimp in a garlic and 62 AMERICAN REPERTORY THEATER NUBAR Sheraton Commander Hotel 16 Garden St. 617-234-1365 Refer to Dining Guide, page 57 “ Cambridge’s newest place to enjoy the freshest cuisine around. ” white wine sauce), pan seared diver scallops (accompanied by wild mushrooms, spinach and potatoes) and a thick-as-can-be New England clam chowder, garnished with steamed littlenecks still in their shells and crumbled bacon. Innovative dishes that give a nod to seasonal fare include appetizers like the blue fish fingers and the asparagus, golden beet and goat cheese salad. New England’s ethnic heritage is highlighted as well in starters like the Taleggio polenta served with wilted baby spinach and a crispy poached egg, entrees such as potato gnocchi with seasonal vegetables and even a savory meatball sandwich loaded with marinara sauce and mozzarella. Tasty flatbreads are also available and can be topped with everything from caramelized onion, bacon and gruyere to duck confit, mushrooms and Manchego cheese. Nubar even keeps it local with desserts, serving Cambridge’s own Christina’s ice cream, among other sweet treats. A wonderful wine, beer and cocktail selection and a friendly, knowledgeable waitstaff help complete a dining experience sure to stay as enjoyable and ever-surprising as the changing of the seasons.
