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.

    I brought my friend Marlene. The experience never disappoints. And the Posset was a perfect end to the evening.

    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!

    It was delicious. As good as the OG Puritan & co but a little chill. Can’t wait to go back!

    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.

    What a fantastic meal we had! The food was delicious and had that special element of surprise- this wasn’t your run-of-the-mill seafood restaurant. The service was great and the waiter even gave us a sample of their delicious lobster toast to try. It was a great experience and I’d highly recommend!
