It's a cute spot to have drinks/light apps with friends.I would definitely recommend coming during the warmer months for the rooftop!

The layout is spacious and well-laid out when walking in. Suprisingly it's not overly loud, just the perfect volume for a place like this.

Our direct waiter was great, always coming by and refilling water. There was another member of the team who kept coming by to ask us if we had a reservation and if we were ready for the check.

Puritan and Company is a compelling entry into the seafood bistro scene. Chef Will Gilson has…read morecreated a menu that pays tribute to the bounty of New England's rich seafood heritage and focused use of locally sourced herbs. Located at Inman Square in Cambridge, Puritan is housed in a tastefully decorated venue that has a 19th Century stove as its hostess station. We arrived late to a packed house but they were able to seat us at the lone open table - reservations are strongly recommended. We opened with a '23 Lucien Albrecht Pinot Blanc from Alsace which was light, dry, and crisp - the perfect accompaniement for oysters. We also ordered a Hendrick's Gibson but, alas, had to settle for an extra dry up with four olives on the side. One note: Puritan, like so many venues, fails on the point of serving a martini in a champagne glass. Why is this so problematic? A martini should be served in a conical V-shaped glass with a long stem. I ask: would they serve a burgundy in a bordeaux stem?? Puritan has a rotating selection of oysters and yesterday's was Island Creeks from Duxbury. The Island Creek is the classic east coast oyster - the deep shell allows for plump, meaty oysters that have a lot of tooth in every bite. They feature a rich ocean brine and seawood and finish with a smooth sweet kiss. Puritan oysters are served with cucmber mignonette, green chili, and classic cocktail sauce but my strongest possible recommendation is to savor these without. Why make mask the genuine taste with an opague dressing? We couldn't resist the seafood risotto and were more than pleased. Generously portioned with lobster and crab, the rice was infused with a delectable seafood taste profile. The baked cod was sublime. A large cod steak, coated in a kataifi crust, was perfectly roasted - crunchy exterior with moist, flaky cod inside. Served on a bed of roasted green beans with a drizzle of lemon capers gave the dish complexity and character. Puritan is an outstanding oyster bar and brings an intriguing selection of both starters and mains. Puritan is definitely worth a visit.

Consistently fantastic. Came to Puritan and Company for brunch chasing a massive craving for fresh…read moreseafood and gosh do they deliver. We came twice for brunch last year during the summer and once this year so far and every single time we are absolutely grateful. Consistently fresh, constantly friendly, the seafood tower is a perfect array of delicious fresh bites - today featured fresh mussels prepared in a red base oil that was divine, a whitefish salad that was so fresh and herbacious I'm still dreaming about it, fresh plump shrimps and unicorn oysters all exceptionally fresh and salty. This time we tried the cocktail of the season (last year was a charming blueberry drink) this year it's an Overnight Oats based in rye whiskey with maple flavoring and Black Walnut bitters. Perfection in a glass as far as brunch cocktails go. Our server recommended this to go with our moods and our order and it was fully on point, thank you! Finally, the lobster roll. I am gluten free so we got the gluten free bun, french fries and lobster in traditional butter - it was perfect. Really unique was the immense flavor and fun texture of the bun, what a delightful surprise! The lobster was served in respectable chunks dressed in butter and the french fries were thin and perfectly paired. Ah just a big thank you, the charm and consistency of Puritan and Company will absolutely have me recommending this spot to others, coming in frequently for my personal recharges, and dreaming of your towers for many meals to come. Great food, excellent service, lovely atmosphere.

My first visit was on my birthday on a weekday, and I sat at the bar enjoying some fries, wings, drinks, and the oh-so-good crème brûlée. Everything hit the spot! The bartenders were friendly and fun, and sitting at the bar gave me a chance to watch them work their magic. This place is known for its sweet, fruity cocktails served in the cutest and most creative mugs, and they definitely deliver! The drinks are fun, delicious, and honestly part of the experience. The vibe and ambiance are another reason to come. Dim lighting. There are both ground and upper levels, with bars on both floors and different seating options depending on the experience you're looking for. My second visit was just as enjoyable. I got to explore more of the menu, try different foods and drinks, and once again, they did not disappoint. And I have to mention that crème brûlée again because OMG! It's easily one of my favorite things there. Please don't leave without trying it. Thank me later! Great food, great drinks, great service, and GOOD VIBES. Pick this place if you're looking to have a good time. Easy 5 stars for me!

We started with the oysters, which were extremely salty. I'm not sure if that was intentional as part of the overall flavor, but they weren't particularly enjoyable. We also tried the crab pasta and the salmon and uni pasta. Both dishes had decent flavor, but we expected more from them. I was hoping for more substantial pieces of crab or uni rather than mostly pasta and sauce. The flavors were fine, but the dishes felt like they were missing something that would make them more memorable. Overall, we enjoyed the atmosphere, but the food was just okay for us. We'll probably try another restaurant next time.

I believe it is now under new management, as a lot has changed since we've been last. No more spinach and artichoke dip was a disappointment for sure, but still had good appetizer options. Different menu, but had a lot of GF options! I was surprised and happy to see that they still have a dedicated fryer for GF so no cross-contamination! Fries were excellent! I got the ahi tuna bowl, and my friend got the Fish and Chips! Both meals were 10/10! Same patio seating was nice. The hostess sat a larger party right next to us, and the seating was a little cramped with a 5 top right next to our 2 top. The menu changed a little, and we had to go inside to ask for our check, so that's why my update has a star off. All in all, a nice spot in Cambridge to get a "fancier" meal!
