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 cosy, 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.

    We had a great experience with dinner for five. There wasn't a single dish that the group didn’t enjoy. Service was attentive and spot on with good recommendations. Can’t wait to come back with my wife.

    Great meal all around. Food was excellent, and it was busy but we could still easily hear one another at our table and the service was top notch. Will return!

    The staff here is truly exceptional and the food is great. If you’re looking for a low-key experience with great staff and great food - this is absolutely where you should go.

    It’s been a while since we were here last. But it has a timeless feel to it. The food is a little more on the comfort food side now - it used to be a little more adventurous. But it is still a lovely restaurant with great food.

    Food was wonderful especially the sides (brussel sprouts and carrots were our favs). Had the pasta, risotto and ribeye. The ribeye was the weakest of the entrees. Pricey but one of the better dining options in Cambridge.

    We lucked out and our server Sarah was also in charge of the wine list. In addition to being friendly and a good server, she talked knowledgeably and enthusiastically about what she was doing to bring lesser known varietals to the wine list. The food was also really good, an improvement over our first experience there years ago when we were unimpressed.

    We had a 1:45 brunch reservation and were given 10 minutes to order. It was rushed, and our food came to us cold. If your kitchen closes at 2, stop taking reservations after 1:30.
