Puritan & Company

Opened in late 2012 in the up-and-coming Inman Square, Puritan & Company focuses on and excels at modern American New England cuisine. A semifinalist for the 2013 James Beard award for Best New Restaurant, Puritan & Co. serves local favorites like delicately prepared seared dayboat scallops and unique dishes like swordfish pastrami. Chef Will Gilson will even make typically boring dishes exquisite, as he transforms the oft-underappreciated complimentary bread basket into a succulent treat with warm, melt-in-your-mouth Parker House rolls.
