Review:

Located on the Charles River Canal near Tech Square, MIT, and the Museum of Science, Bambara is popular after-work happy hour bar. Its sophisticated décor, relaxed atmosphere, and the presence of Chef Jay Silva also make Bambara a popular destination for lunch or dinner.

What Chef Silva calls New American cuisine consists of fresh, seasonal, and locally purveyed or freshly caught ingredients that are made into innovative dishes with a mix of Cape Cod and other exotic influences. Munch on their waffle chips served with tuna tartare and Ponzu dressing,? avocado puree, and sriracha.

Sip your cocktail while waiting for the main star of the show, which might be Seared Yellowfin Tuna with sesame crust and soy glaze and served with coconut rice, lemon butter, sriracha, and spinach and mango salad. Bambara has an excellent, extensive wine list.
