Nubar Restaurant – Sheraton Commander

Nubar is the restaurant and lounge of the Sheraton Commander in Harvard Square, serving traditional and contemporary New England cuisine in a family atmosphere. Its smart, seasonal and approachable neighborhood fare applies a modern approach to classic dishes, with local fishermen, farms and neighborhood bakeries featured as often as possible. The Sunday brunch and traditional holiday buffets have become Cambridge classics, and breakfast, lunch and dinner are all served.

The design is comfortable yet contemporary, with warm metallic accents. The lounge centers on a modern linear fireplace flanked by club chairs, a casual spot for cocktails and appetizers, and in the evening the honey onyx bar glows behind the drinks. Diners can choose high-top tables or banquettes, and the restaurant is named for hotel owner Edward Nubar Guleserian, whose family has run the hotel and restaurant for three generations.
