I've had Waypoint in my bookmarks forever and decided to try them out for their $1 oysters Mon-fri from 5-7pm! The interior and overall vibe of the place was really nice. We ordered 48 oysters, the crab fries and clam pizza. The fries were amazing but I wouldn't recommend the pizza it was extremely salty to me. Definitely would've been a 5 star but our waiter kept making us feel uncomfortable every time we would ask for another dozen of oysters.. he'd ask if we spoke amongst ourselves first before ordering another (obviously we're here for the oysters.) Other than that I would recommend and definitely will be returning soon. read more

I am taking one star off for service, but food is 5 stars! Definitely get a reservation, it was pretty packed when we got there. We got the Octopus Polpetti and Crab French Fried to start. Both delicious in very differ ways. We also got a couple drinks to start. My husband got the New School White Pie and I got the Uni Bucatini - BOTH WERE DELICIOUS! The vibe was pretty great and prices were reasonable for how yummy the food was. Took us a while to get the check as well as for our food to come out, so I'm chalking that up to a busy night. Still definitely recommend giving this spot a try. read more

Waypoint is a HARD NO. The Salad was overdressed, the plates were small, they were sold out of an app at 7 pm, and the food was excessively salted. I usually dine in Boston but gave this place a try. Just drive a few more minutes into town and grab a plate. I informed the manger about the salad and her response was, "I'll let the kitchen staff know", with a dismissive tone. I would note we (aside from waitstaff of Latin descent) were the only folks of color there. I'm unsure if this factored in, but I did make the small, and important observation. Save yourself the trip. read more

I'd like to say outright that the food itself was really darn good. Whether or not the food quality deserves 4 or 5 stars can be debated, however, when I consider value I don't see myself returning here. Here's the thing: tapas really just doesn't work here. but, I shall get into that a little bit later. I had ordered two entrees ("plates" as they call them) the Smoked Bluefish, and the Wood Roasted Char Belly. My parents meanwhile had ordered a Whole Roasted Branzino which I had the opportunity to sample. Food came out hot and fresh 20 minutes after we had placed our order. I have nothing against a slightly longer wait time if food is being made fresh for you, though something to munch on in the interim. I am not an expert in fish, but I do like to think that I know good food from not so good food. The Smoked Bluefish was awesome. The fish was cooked very nicely, the skin had a delightful Char on it. The puree it was served with including the greenish Oriole around it was lovely, adding a nice smooth, and gently starchy texture. The greens added a nice touch of freshness and weren't by any means overdressed. The Wood-Roasted Char Belly was amazing as well. I'm a fan of belly of all sorts, be it pork or fish. What I especially loved about this one was the variation in textures right below the skin. Similar to the bluefish it was cooked quite nicely. The puree was a little bit different this time, little bit salts your butt for this dish it worked. The greens did their part in adding the freshness, but I would have liked the little bit more creativity. Word to the wise, chew it well. Otherwise, you may have the uncomfortable experience of it trying to go down both pipes at the same time. And talk about that egg yolk and caviar... I have Slavic ancestry so I have no fear of caviar, but for this one... even if you've never had any, go for it! I promise you'll love it. The spoon is there for a reason... what is that Nike slogan? A little piece I had of the Branzino showed that it was cooked well, however, since I didn't get the skin as much I can't speak to the flavor there. However what I can note is that the puree with this dish was quite salty, considering the size of fish there was not enough of it. In terms of veggies: other than a couple rings of onion, the squash was barely cooked, if at all. Now regarding the value/my issues with tapas here Please understand, that I have nothing against tapas. However, It is one thing to order a plate of tacos and share them with a friend or two. It is an entirely different matter to get a single piece of fish not much larger than a credit card (by surface area). Furthermore, if you were to try cutting these things in half, because of the skin you'll end up with a mess. If you're eating it yourself that's fine, but if you're trying to share it... heh heh heh good luck. Case in point: the Wood Roasted Char Belly comes with that egg yolk/caviar combo on a spoon. If you're sharing this dish, and you and your friend(s) both want to try it I suggest the "eeny-meeny-miny-moe" method as opposed to trying to cut the egg yolk in half. It's designed to be put in your mouth whole. and you only get the one. Now, if this dish cost $5 or maybe even $7 it wouldn't be that bad. Considering how much you get and how much you're paying for it the value just isn't there. I had two "plates" and left still hungry After shelling out (no pun intended) $33. The service was very polite, very professional, and most importantly extremely knowledgeable about the menu. The location was clean as well read more

Saw all the great reviews so decided to come check this place out, and it was just ok. My partner and I ordered multiple items off the menu: Half a dozen oysters, steak frites, salmon crudo, one of their pizzas, and some of their desserts. The oysters were phenomenal, a bit on the brinier side but the mignonette and hot sauce pairing balanced out the taste perfectly. The salmon crudo was the lowest point of the meal; $20 for 5 small pieces of fish covered in toppings that overwhelm the obvious freshness and quality of the fish. Some of the puffed rice bits tasted bitter and burnt and the sea salt finish (I assume sea salt, we saw the person in charge of sending orders out putting a lot of salt on everything going out of the kitchen) completely ruined it, it was so excessively salty it was barely palatable. The steak frites were a highlight, the steak was beautifully cooked albeit also on the saltier side. It was a bit dry to eat at times, and the chew on the steak was much more noticeable since there was no sauce on the steak itself. The fries tasted burnt/like they were cooked in really old oil...also just based off the color that they were. The aioli didn't taste like much, just like a regular mayo. All in all, the service was rather mediocre but the food was around 3-4 stars. I'm giving 3 stars because I didn't see the servers doing anything special in particular, as it was a bunch of random employees that would come up and fill your water, take your plates, and bring out your food...we only got to see our server a few times when we'd wave her down. read more

Delicious and great service!! Stick with oysters and seafood, avoid pasta. Great wine list!

Visited Waypoint specifically for the oyster happy hour. Upon entering, I immediately loved the interior, beautiful and spacious. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, which was refreshing after an exhausting day adventuring through the city. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much for $1 oysters but they were surprisingly delicious and fresh! Definitely left feeling very "happy" with the happy hour and would return for the oyster specials. read more

Elegant restaurant, but food and service was disappointing. The $12 crab dusted fries and $19 tomato pie were the best dishes we got and the pie was a white pizza with roasted tomato halves on top rather than a red sauce base. The tautog crudo was a tiny portion for $18 and both the $38 lobster cacio e pepe and $29 Jonah crab and angel hair were bland pasta with little meat. The drinks were alright - we got the Venetian forecast, wild rose, an average beer, and some red wine. Was told by our server that smith & cross in one of the drinks is a whiskey and fortunately googled, saw it was a rum before they made the drink, and switched. Central parking lot is an 8 min walk and was $10. The absinthe and seafood concept is a cool one, but missed the mark for us this time. read more

I would definitely recommend coming for the $1 Oysters here. (I believe the $1 oysters are only sold from 5-7pm Monday to Thursday, but I would double check.) The $1 oysters here tasted better than some $3 oysters at other places. The pizza has a very strong fish flavor, which is not my taste though. read more

Waypoint - $1 Oysters - Bars Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Waypoint is my go to for oysters, especially their happy hour specials. Once every few months, we'll sit in the dining room to enjoy dinner vs. being barflies. Their oysters and clams are shucked by the best shuckers around: always clean, sans pieces of shells stuck behind with the best hot sauce around. Usually, I'm a purist when it comes to oysters but once in a while, their hot sauce gives it a perfect spice. Service is always top notch. Our server, Victoria was friendly, knowledgeable and definitely knew her stuff. I've had the uni bucatini here for ages and it's always a favorite. Unfortunately, last night, it was not. The dish was tepid at best and noodles were too al dente. We ate it because we were notoriously hungry but offered our feedback because it's a dish we just love too much. She relayed the feedback and got us another order (we didn't ask for it and was happy to have it left on our check) and her charisma just took over. Staff like Victoria is what'll keep us coming back to Waypoint. I will say that without a doubt, their staff is well trained and seasoned and just get it. Stop by here for their oysters, happy hour or not but their notable dishes are definitely not to be missed! Our favorites are definitely chopped clam pizza, roasted chicken (huge portion, btw), latkes, and crudos! read more

3.5 stars rounded up for the great ambiance and service! This has been on my must-try list since they opened and man oh man, did it build up a whole lot of anticipation being affiliated with Alden & Harlow, my absolute fave. Maybe that was it huh? As we sauntered in, we spotted a couple of great seats at the bar and started ritually with an order of oysters (1 from Maine and 2 locally in Mass) and they were nothing short of awesome. Very fresh, nice brininess and shucked perfectly and paired with their homemade hot sauce and mignonette. We were excited to try their crudos too so we asked our bartender for a recommendation and ended up with the Chopped Tuna Crudo. Unfortunately, this is where it started to go wrong. One way to sum this dish up is that it should NOT be described as a crudo. It was so heavily seasoned and salty to the point that we couldn't really taste the fish. Adding on, we also ordered a couple bar type items - the Crab French fries and Smoked Whitefish pizza and again, similar to the Tuna Crudo, it was very salty. The octopus was fairly better but on the broader end of having had octopus in many other places, we weren't super impressed. Near the end, we didn't feel satisfied with what we ordered and decided to throw in an order of the Hiramasa Crudo and the Uni & Caviar toast which, amen, was completely redeeming. This crudo was fresh, light and absolutely delicious; Everything you'd expect a good crudo to be. The toast was unique so it was fun to try out. So I think my lasting impression for Waypoint, if you're thinking of coming, is do order their raw bar. It's amazing and ask for the milder crudos. The food is very high quality but even better when it's a lot less heavy handed with the salt! read more

The food was fine. The service, oof. We showed up on time for our reservation on a Monday night. It wasn't busy, probably at just over a third of capacity. It took over ten minutes for a server to come over after we were sat. My husband asked if an ingredient could be substituted in a mocktail due to a food allergy, and the server said no (though after some prodding he agreed to ask a bartender, who was happy to accommodate). After receiving drinks it was another fifteen minutes before our server returned to take our dinner order. We skipped apps because everything was taking so long and we were hungry. Dinner was served promptly. Well, MY dinner was. The runner gave me my entree, then walked off with my husband's and gave it to another guest at another table. It was bewildering. The manager did apologize. Overall, Waypoint has good food but is an exercise in frustration. The service is bad, the booths are too small, and no one seems to be taking pride in what they're doing. Even the patrons don't seem to care - a woman two seats away spoke on a loud speakerphone for the second half of our meal. If I were the executive chef, I would be furious that my work was being undermined by a front of house that doesn't care. read more

Food was good. Only issue I had was the service was lacking. When I sat down the bar, the bartender literally threw the menu at me not even acknowledging or greeting me. I chalked it up to him having a bad night. My advice is just greet you customers with a modicum of respect and this single diner will always reward with a decent tip. Surly service will reap a crap tip. Also, when I post a reservation for the bar don't jerk ne around. Have a seat ready for me with my name on it. I don't want to bar seat Jenga with late comers without rese read more

Came here for a Valentine's Day dinner celebration and was so happy to have found this place! The staff were very kind and friendly. I had requested for a booth and they were able to provide me with a booth table (thank you!). We ordered the crab fries as an appetizer which was a must get!! We then got the clam pizza which was out of this world delicious! Another must get. The salmon crudo was nice and refreshing, but can be omitted. We then got the caramel dessert which was a flan-like dessert. It had hints blackberries and was a nice refreshing end to our dinner. I would definitely recommend ! read more

Great date spot - nice lighting, good service and fun cocktails. That said it just isnt as good as Alden and harrow and as many reviews said the prices are barely justify the steep prices. We had the artichoke, smoked mackeral, whit pizza and fish sticks. The smoked mackerel was the best dish. The smokiness of the fish complimented the creaminess of the sauce. Almost an umami experience. The artichoke was solid. White fish pizza was a total miss - as many said it is too salty. The crust was yummy - great everything bagel flavor. Fish sticks were also salty. Perfectly fried but nothing special. read more

Waypoint is a great neighborhood. The space is nice looking. It is Cambridge so parking is challenging. The AC does not work there. I read a few other reviews about how hot it was and it is hot. They kept bringing ice for our water and it melted right away. The service was attentive and not rushed. We ordered the pepperoni pizza as an app and it was stellar. The crust was some of the best I have had in MA. The cheese had a great pull and the pepperoni was crisp and so good - 5 stars. The fish and chips was very good. Huge piece of flaky super hot fish. The Fries were hand cut and very crispy. I ordered the burger and asked for the tonnato sauce on the side because after looking at what is in tonnato sauce - tuna, anchovies, mayo etc - I thought it would not go well on a burger. The burger came out hot and looked good. The fries were delish. The burger meat was perfectly cooked and salted. The only issue (and this is my thing) was it had a pile of shredded lettuce on the burger along with small sliced tomatoes, pickles etc. But i hate lettuce on a burger- It is not a salad. I like meaty cheesey- meaty cheesey. The lettuce made the bottom but wet and hard to eat. I scraped off all salad items and just had the burger. It was very good. Now - that tonnato sauce on the side was one of the worst things I ever ate. It did not go with a burger. I tried it with a piece of the fish to give it a fair shot and it was still awful. Wine and drinks options were good. Soft shell crab dish was ok. The pizzas and oysters are good choices. I think the restaurant is decent but better to visit in the fall when it is cooler outside. And skip that sauce if you order the burger. read more

Came here just for the cocktails. Compared to other locations, their drinks are pretty mediocre. My husband and I ordered a total of 5, and I only really liked one of them - Sangre y arena Atmosphere at the bar was okay- it felt very tight and overcrowded.

Also the French fries looked and smelled fantastic! read more

We honestly went here only because my boyfriend got a gift card. We tried the following... - Oysters (6) - Crab Fries - Steak Tartare - Creekstone Ribeye (20oz) - Cinnamon Sugar Donuts I'm not a huge oyster person, but the oysters were good and were some were my favorite beach on Cape Cod, so it gets points for that. The Crab Fries, were good but nothing extravegant? Probably wouldn't get them again since it was just fries tossed in "crab powder" and very filling so I could eat as much of the other stuff we got. Steak Tartare was delicious and wonderful - it was weird to eat the steak tartare on a crumpet or sorts. I almost wish there was a crispy element to it to balance out the textures. The Ribeye was amazing as well - however it did not seem like 20oz of steak, but it was cooked perfectly and tasted pretty good. The highlight was those donuts though - warm, crispy on the outside soft on the inside. SO GOOD. We had a very nice (and wonderfully nerdy) waiter. My boyfriend also got some assorted drinks that he enjoyed. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here and if the time arose, I would come back, but it's a bit expensive so I probably won't be back here again. This place seems like a good place for a celebratory meal like an anniversary or birthday. read more

I think we found our new favorite brunch place in Cambridge!! Located between Harvard and Central squares, I walked by the place a million times and am so happy I finally tried it! We went for their Sunday brunch and everything was absolutely amazing. We made a reservation but the place wasn't too packed and service was excellent. It's decorated chic and modern inside and is definitely a cool place to come with friends or out of town guests. The food was definitely the stand out. I had the potato pancake eggs Benedict and I will be dreaming about that meal every night for the rest of my life-- it was seriously THAT good. My fiancé got the pancakes which were also some of the best we have ever had. We went with a group and for a bottle of champagne for mimosas. They let you choose from a variety of juices for the mimosa and I chose the pineapple juice which was so good! We will definitely be back!! read more

Waypoint used to be a stand by favorite. Now we don't know if we would return. Husband had stomach ache later that night. Probably from excessive butter on Cacio Pepe pasta.

Basic Caesar salad that even the lump crab couldn't elevate. read more

I pass Waypoint on my way to class every single day. While it has always looked inviting, it was not until my newly discovered taste for oysters on a Saturday afternoon that we finally gave it a try. I am so glad we did because we will definitely be coming back. The restaurant was packed when we arrived, but we were quickly seated due to our reservation. The lighting was dim but ambient with a nautical twist. The space is split into a long bar, open kitchen, raw bar, and general seating area. We were placed in the general area, with a perfect view of the staff freshly shucking oysters and mixing sauces. After a sunny afternoon at Aeronaut Brewery in Allston (shameless plug for their great beer, patio, and Venezuelan pop-up), we decided to skip the drinks and go straight for the food. Next time we return though, we will definitely be trying their drinks, as they have a robust cocktail and wine list. Now for the food. Our ranking from best to worst: 1. Hearth Baked Flatbread: I know it is cliche to rank a piece of bread as number one but hear me out. The bread was fresh out of the oven with a crisp exterior and pillowy soft interior. The dough itself was flavorful with hints of butter and garlic. And the bed of rosemary garlic butter - with a dash of paprika? - made for a perfect and delectable bite each and every time. I highly recommend trying it next time you visit. 2. Fried Brussels: These were absolutely fire. The umami and funkiness from the fish sauce glaze was perfectly offset by the briny pickled onions and tangy lime squeeze, and the brussels were hot and crispy. A must-order for the table. 3. Oysters: I have slowly grown to like seafood over the past 12 months and oysters are my latest conquest. While we did not know the origins, we had two different kinds, both large, perfectly chilled, and briny. We tried a variety of sauces with them, but we liked the mignonette and chimichurri the best. Our only complaint was that a staff member did not explain which oysters we were eating. 4. Lobster Cacio e Pepe: The generous chunks of lobster were perfectly cooked; however, the dish could have been slightly warmer, and we had to request salt and pepper as the sauce was a little bland. The pasta itself was perfect though. 5. Uni Bucatini: I have no doubt that this is a very good dish. The pasta was fresh and perfectly al dente, and the egg yolk mixed into a velvety sauce. Uni is just too fishy for me at this time. Some day! Overall, we are thrilled to have finally tried Waypoint and will certainly be returning soon! - J read more

Although Waypoint brands itself as a typical Seafood restaurant, do not be fooled as this place is so much more. The type of food served here was so unique and unlike anywhere else I've tried - definitely Boston's most intriguing seafood restaurant. Bring a friend here who thinks she / he isn't a seafood fan and I promise they will be swayed. However, there are land options as well for the hard-headed non-seafood lovers such as Maine lamb shoulder. The chopped tuna crudo was a combination of curried chickpeas and typical tuna crudo - delicious! People rave about Frank Pepe's white clam pizza but if you haven't had that yet, come here instead and taste the best chopped clam pizza you've ever had. I'll definitely be back. read more

A high-end modern seafood restaurant worth every penny. I went here for a special occasion and it was well worth it. We ordered tapas style. Wood fired octopus, bread basket, oysters, halibut, and a salad. The oysters were tasty and local. Served with a variety of toppings that all suited the oysters well. The bread was tasty and was a variety of loads- all tasty. Served with an herbed butter and a squid ink sauce. The salad was underwhelming- basic lettuce, cucumber, carrot, and raddish and maybe one or two other things. Not worth it. The octopus was delicious. Cooked well and had a lovely purée served with a few micro greens. Halibut fillet was the star. Perfectly crispy skin. A rockstar of a a sauce that balanced acidity and complimented the texture of the fish. Absolutely delicious! Even the iced tea was good. I could tell it was freshly brewed, and had a hint of mint. The atmosphere is a little dimly lit though. It was difficult to read the menus, and the menus had smaller font, which made it not the easiest. Atmosphere pros: modern interior, raw bar right when you walk in, which makes you want to eat all of the seafood immediately. (That's how we decided to get oysters, actually) Would I go again? Absolutely. Worth the price? Yes, except the salad. Suggestions: bring a magnifying glass to read the menu- LOL read more

Waypoint is way cool. On a Wednesday night, it was extremely easy to make (and change) a reservation for two people. The space is dim, making the fluorescent lights on the far walls more striking. Upon entrance, you are immediately entranced by the central raw bar, which makes oysters and clams on ice look almost like art. Art you're dying to devour. After seated in our nook, the very friendly hostess comes around to explain the menu to us first-timers. The majority of dishes are small plates meant to be shared, and they are brought out as soon as they're ready. There are also a few bigger dishes meant to feed 2-3 people. And she's happy to advise us along the way to ensure that we order enough food. Now to the drinks. I asked for her recommendation between a tequila-based one and one with rum. She immediately said to go with Duke's Pearls, a rummy concoction with house-squeezed passion fruit juice. I'm feeling passionate about this drink already. My mom was trying to choose between two Italian reds, the waitress described them both, and my mom picked one. However, a few minutes later, our waitress returned with both bottles for my mom to try, so she could make the best decision! This level of service was unexpected and much appreciated. Waypoint would be great to come with a large group of adventurous eaters, so you can sample a variety of their interesting-sounding dishes. However, this was a mother-daughter date, so we went more simple: the ribeye with bone marrow & the squid ink gemelli with snails. The pasta came out first and was reminiscent of the sea with the ink and the snails adding a salty flavor balanced by the lima beans. The pastas are all made in-house. And snails are now my new favorite add-in. The 12 oz. ribeye came out later, a large plate with sliced steak, two bone halves, and toast with which to enjoy the marrow. The marrow was buttery and seasoned well, and the meat was fine in texture and taste (although a bit fatty in parts). This ribeye dish wasn't as impressive to me as the pasta, but what can you expect from a restaurant that focuses on coastal cuisine? These two dishes were more than enough for us, and we took home leftovers. I'd definitely sail my way over here again to try the raw bar and some more of their fresh pasta. read more
