Service was excellent. My swordfish was very good but my partners ambassador steak was grisly and tough. A big disappointment.

Attractive, modern decor - very comfortable. Attentive service. Didn't try the Armenian specialties but everything looks delicious. Short but good wine list with many offered by the glass.

Nubar is always a great choice! The peach burrata salad is absolutely divine. Get it with grilled salmon on top. You won't be disappointed.

Nubar is far more than a typical hotel restaurant. Located in the Sheraton Commander hotel (Marriott Bonvoy affiliated), this is a restaurant of distinction, and it offers an excellent wine list at reasonable prices, creative offerings for appetizers, flatbreads, and main courses. In addition to an excellent post theatre dinner, we also enjoyed the breakfast buffet. Whenever I attend the American Repertory Theatre, I try to be sure to make a reservation at Nubar.

This is a great brunch. Omelets are made to order, the fruit is delicious, good coffee, and a large selection of yogurt, breads, as well as bacon, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, jam and more. I’ve e been a few times now and will return.
