EVOO Kendall Square - Restaurant Review

EVOO Kendall Square Restaurant Review – EVOO (which stands for “extra-virgin olive oil”) features bold and daring American cuisine. A Somerville fixture for years, chef Peter McCarthy has moved the eatery to sparkling new digs in Kendall Square. McCarthy, a pilot and a sailor, brings his adventurous nature to the menu which infuses American standards with influences from around the world. Only the freshest local ingredients are used, including produce from Eva's Garden and livestock from Lovejoy Brook Farm. All of these delights are served in an ultra-modern space with large pine sliding doors, a mix of steel and beautiful woods, and a sleek open-ceiling industrial feel. The location, which is also shared with McCarthy’s farm-fresh pizza restaurant Za, also has a comfy private dining room complete with a small book library. For appetizers, try the Cornmeal Fried Oysters with goat cheese fondue and apple-bacon salsa; or the Brook Farm's Veal with caramelized onion empanadas. Delicious entrees include the “Duck, Duck, Goose” – duck foie gras & confit with goose breast in ginger sauce. Also excellent is the Knoll Farm's Chicken Breast with corn waffle, jalapeno coleslaw and fried pickle chips. Don’t forget to save room for their fresh Banana Bread Pudding with warm buttermilk caramel. For Cambridge’s most creative American cuisine – in the area’s newest location – take a trip to EVOO.
EVOO Restaurant, Kendall Square, 350 Third Street, Cambridge, 617-661-3866.
