Puritan & Co. sits in Inman Square, built around an oyster bar serving à la carte oysters and seafood towers alongside a seasonal American dinner menu. Starters include smoked bluefish pâté, crab cake, and lobster deviled eggs; entrees run from baked cod and slow-roasted duck breast to a seafood risotto with crab and lobster. Housemade parker house rolls are a fixture on the shared plates list, and a 10-oz. prime rib anchors a three-course Sunday special. A seasonal five-course Chef's Tasting Menu is also offered.
Much of the kitchen's produce and meat comes from the owner's family farm in Groton, and that sourcing shows up in dishes like a pork chop over comté polenta and a wild mushroom risotto. The dining room mixes a worn-in, lived-in feel with sharper touches — pheasants mounted behind the bar, a crowd of professors, families, and couples filling the tables.
Puritan & Co. was a James Beard Foundation Best New Restaurant semifinalist in 2013.
