Chef Will Gilson and the team behind Puritan & Company are thrilled to introduce you to Puritan Oyster Bar! We offer limited reservations, but always hold space for walk-ins! The space is a bit more casual than our sister restaurant, with a focus on fresh seafood and an incredible cocktail program.

Everything was great, sauce from surf and turf was really good, good oyster selection all plates were very balanced, and the plus from the service was having Chef Aguinaldo to chat and explain all plates with detail. 10/10.

Puritan Oyster Bar did an incredible job at providing a 10/10 meal and 10/10 service. Cambridge Street Hospitality Group never fails to amaze me with top tier food and service. Would recommend to anyone for anything from a casual dinner date to an exciting birthday dinner. The seafood is incredibly fresh and well prepared and dessert is not to be missed!

We had been to Puritan and Company quite a few times and it has always been an amazing experience. Tonight was our first trip to the oyster bar and it was equally amazing. Divine oysters, great raw bar and wonderful inventive seafood.
