Puritan & Company 1166 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA 02139

"years of walking past but never trying, went for Christmas Eve dinner. As a born and raised New Englander I was never wildly enticed by a New England menu, I was very very wrong. Excellent service, lovely bartenders answered all my questions about the amaros. Parker House Rolls so warm and fluffy, I wish I could shrink down and crawl into one to sleep. garlicky buttery spinach with a rare steak. All masterfully executed simplicity."

"We order the chef’s choice(75$pp). 5 courses. I can only say 2 of them were really good but non of them mind blowing! First was something with mustard pickle which was kinda bitter and not good. The second was battered cod with bean paste (really good). The third coarse was chili pasta with lobster, which in my opinion was nothing special. The 4th one was rib, I should say it was tasty. And finally for dessert: chocolate cake with pomegranate marmalade(nothing special and somehow dry cake). In general the whole experience wasn’t as good as I expected. I should add that everything was on salty side.my general score:3.5/5"

"I was very excited to come to Puritan & Company after reading reviews and looking at pictures but was quite disappointed with the food. Nothing tasted amazing. The brussel sprouts and fried hen of the woods mushrooms were both too salty. The pappardelle was not served hot and the pasta was too undercooked. The phyllo wrapped cod was very bland and also not served hot. The bread rolls, strip steak, and seafood risotto were good but not great. I expected better considering the price point. Otherwise, I liked the decor and the service was attentive and friendly. Perhaps their head chef is on vacation for the holidays which would explain the disappointing food quality. I would not recommend this restaurant."

"Overall, it was pretty good. We tried the pork belly, beef tartar, burrata, and scallop. The portions are just right, not too big or small. The beef tartar had an interesting spice mix, which was a cool twist. Loved the fresh burrata. The scallop was a bit on the smaller side; the sauce was nice, but wasn't a fan of the cabbage with it. As for the pork belly, it was alright, but nothing to write home about. All in all, a solid dining experience."

"Great farm to table restaurant with a seasonal menu. Almost every dish was well-executed and had a unique touch. I especially loved the seared scallops and house rolls. While the prices were high, the quality was worth it. Service was friendly, and decor was rustic and bright. I'd come back!"
