    Tucked away in Inman Square Cambridge is this heavenly, happy, celebration of seafood. We get oysters and a smattering of small plates, mostly because so many dishes look awesome that we can't narrow out selection. The flavor combinations in the crudos especially are phenomenal. The ambiance is casual, and you'll see a mix of dates, friends, and families, with the staff welcoming to all. Bonus is they are incredibly allergy aware, with separate printed menus to assist with dietary needs.

    It was ok but I wouldn’t pick the Oyster Bar side again. Maybe better ambience on a weekend evening.

    Fun plays on NE classics with an exciting raw bar and strong drinks. The swordfish pastrami was a highlight.

    We loved the Oyster Bar at Puritan & Co! Everything was delicious, but oysters and caviar cones were a definite highlight. Service was warm and attentive, and whole meal is a pleasure to recall.

    We visited during restaurant week, and a pop-up was going on, which added a fun vibe to the experience. Kyle, our server, was exceptional.
