About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
Puritan & Company, led by Chef-owner Will Gilson, serves modern American cuisine, with particular emphasis on traditional New England fare, and not without occasional excursions into other ethnic ingredients and styles. Our mainstays are ingredients sourced from farms we know and locally to the extent possible, and always a sense of fun.

Our dining room is a casual and fun place to dine. We love to share our excitement about the food and wine we serve like we would in our own home. Guests and their friends should feel comfortable in our friendly and even familial environment as we make our food and guest the number one focus.

Our next door space, Puritan Oyster Bar, offers limited reservations via puritancambridge.com

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Will Gilson

From the OpenTable editors: Modern takes on old-school New England classics shine at Puritan & Company, thanks to James Beard Award-nominated chef Will Gilson. In a cozy, industrial-chic space made for lingering, Gilson serves up elegant, seafood-forward dishes like smoked bluefish pâté and lobster risotto. Don't miss the top-notch Sunday brunch, starring some of the city’s pastries from sibling spot Cafe Beatrice.

    An excellent meal as always! Their menu is just experimental enough to keep it interesting, but not so much that you have no idea what to try.

    Good brunch experience, not great. Main menu and service was great once we were seated. They had run out of pastries though, which had been what we were looking forward to. Also, did not have a table available at the time of our reservation, so had to wait a little bit (though not long - 5-10 min).

    Really wanted to love it but the service was mediocre and lacking in the fun and friendliness they advertised on their website. Our waiter was perfunctory but blamed us for mistakes with our order. Maybe it was just an off day but I wouldn’t go back. Oysters weren’t shucked correctly despite having an oyster bar. We have high standards coming from Maine ;) The pork chop was a stand out though, so if you go, get that.

    Food was excellent- had the bone marrow, pork and prime rib. Had a good wine menu. Sat at the front table next to the window so helped with the noise level

    Server was unfriendly and seemed annoyed when our table asked her questions about a liquor none of us were familiar with. Later, a member of our party was lactose intolerant and when he requested a change she rudely advised him that she couldn’t change back to an earlier order because she already switched out his side with a vegetable. The food was great but the service was disappointing. Won’t be returning anytime soon.

    I chose Puritan and Co based on a review in Boston Eater and had high hopes. The space is really nice and it was busy at 12:30 on. Sunday. The pastry basket was AMAZING and is the one thing I would order again. The $18 for eggs and bacon was way overpriced. The eggs were cold and watery - so disappointing. Our server was slow and inattentive. She would disappear and when she did walk by our table, she would keep walking until we called out to her. Judging from the looks of others in her section, we all had the same service.
