Puritan & Company

The single most essential Boston restaurant of the moment, in that here chef-owner Will Gilson is more thoroughly tackling a fresh perspective on New England cuisine than anywhere else in the world.

Come for the pastry basket , $10 for 4 delicious items like a chocolate pretzel croissant , stay for the brunch like the corned beef hash . Great, airy vibe with reservations too.

Came here for Restaurant Week & what a treat! Cocktails are fantastic, and food is both delicious and beautiful. Come very hungry, though! (Or just have less than 4 courses.)

The flat iron steak is perfectly juicy, a little spicy , and filling. The potatoes and broccoli make a great accompaniment. Desserts are tasty too, and service is surprisingly fast.

Outstanding fresh global takes on New England originals - go for the lamb t-bone, orrichiette, charred octopus and outstanding wine list .

My favorite restaurant in Cambridge. The small plates are the best. Get the swordfish pastrami with mustard ice cream . The potato bread is addicting, we usually get upwards of three rounds ...

Positively one of the best restaurants at Cambridge! Very timely service and food is flavorful & rich all at once. My favorite will be the egg with mushrooms - Eat it once it's served. Heaven. ????????

We love this place for weekend apps: a beer and basket of pastries at the bar . Then go to another spot nearby (Tupelo maybe?) for entrees. The key to expert-level brunching is multiple stops.

I loved Puritan!! The food is great, atmosphere is excellent and the service was also so nice. You should try the desert with pop corn and corn Ice Cream very creative and delicious.

Sit at the chef's table and enjoy one of the better dining options in Inman Square. Food is prepared with love and care. Ask for wine suggestions to pair your food with.

The layers of flavor in every dish were amazing! Tried many dishes.... Great sparkling Brut Rose that went with everything. Great waitress ....

This rivals even the best of New York City restaurants . Absolutely fantastic, from decor and service to menu design and wine list (and especially the food).

Order the "big man" cocktail . It's off-menu but a favorite of the bartenders (a fun take on the Manhattan )

Farmers Cheese with pickled veg and pumpernickel toast drizzed with honey and chive was amazing simple and delicious.

Cocktail and bar menu has great options for a quick meal or step up and go big for dinner !

The buns are so delicious!! Nearly everything is made in house. Go there if you want expensive , delicious food with a fancy presentation.

What's good here? The conversations you'll have with your servers about the food you'll love eating and the wine you'll love drinking.

Go on a Thursday between 9-10pm and get a free pizza with the purchase of an adult beverage ! ????

Stellar food and service. One of my new fave spots. Try the clam chowder ! And ohhhh the rolls are to die for.

Swordfish Pastrami , Octopus , Burrata . Excellent cocktail program and friendly bartenders .

Awesome how the bar lights have outlets and a light switch — which is a dimmer!

The chocolate brownie sundae plus dessert wine is the way to finish strong!

Chef 's tasting menu was well worth the $70. Chilled beet soup was the best!

Nice open space , informal service, 80s music . Good seafood and pasta .

Lamb belly is unique and outstanding.

Make sure to ask for the hot potato rolls - best bread course in Cambridge.

Chef 's counter near the kitchen is great fun! You can watch food being prepared)

Unreal brunch . Try one of the brunch cocktails !

Try the lamb (if you like lamb ) it's perfectly cooked and so nicely prepared.

(Best of Boston 2013-CAMBRIDGE: INMAN SQUARE) Improper Bostonian says," Chef Will Gilson 's first solo project is a lesson in heritage."

Try the apple glazed foie gras , truly the best I have had... maybe ever.

Breakfast sandwich and pastry basket

Swordfish pastrami with pumpernickel , mustard , and pickles .

From ambiance to food and beverage this place is the tops!

Free bar pizza with a drink on Thursdays. Not that you need to be enticed to eat here.

Skirt steak with the best fried rice ever and the best fried clams

Their prosciutto is perhaps the most delicious I've had in this country

Casual , very American food , really yummy /Rachel

Great atmosphere. The lamb was amazing.

The potato rolls here are worth the trip alone. No joke.

awesome new american cuisine !

Foie stuffed quail

The lamb neck and pasta

Best bread and wagyu steak !

Oysters and Crab Gnocchi

The lamb belly is perfect.

Cour-cheverny is a perfect pairing to my clam and corn chowder !

Bread is good, but takes long to get food. Also not very great for children.

Best meal I have had in a while yummy!!!!
