Great farm to table restaurant with a seasonal menu. Almost every dish was well-executed and had a unique touch. I especially loved the seared scallops and house rolls. While the prices were high, the quality was worth it. Service was friendly, and decor was rustic and bright. I'd come back!
Had an excellent experience at Puritan and Co. Vibe: Old fashioned but polished New England vibes Service: Very good. I love it when restaurants leave you with a carafe to refill your own water. Food: This was one of the best meals I've had in a while. We did the chef tasting menu ($75pp) and it was so good. Aside from the desert that wasn't a flavor profile I really enjoyed, everything was 10/10. We got house rolls which were soft, fluffy, warm, and served with a salted butter. Next was a raw fish (can't remember what it was, maybe an ahi tuna?) appetizer which was tasty and had a great crunchy texture. Next was a swordfish (my all time favorite fish) in a delicious sauce. After that was a creamy pasta dish with lardons than was tasty. Then a trout with grilled artichoke that was absolutely AMAZING, the flavors were sweet and acidic and meaty all at once, definitely my favorite dish, I savored every bite. Last was a miso cheesecake with pistachio and ice cream that really did not hit for me flavor wise but considering everything was a surprise, having only one dish that wasn't my jam isn't terrible. Everything was beautifully plated. Value: This place is $$$ but the flavors and textures were absolutely excellent, portions were just right, I would say that the value was on point. Overall I would definitely recommend Puritan and Co for a fancy night out and would go again.
A thoroughly pleasant and delicious dinner. Service was excellent and the ambiance was cordial and proper. Every dish I tried surprised me in it's own way with a unique flavor profile that satisfied just about every taste bud of mine. The oysters were sweet and creamy. The mushrooms were crunchy and bitter. The carrots had a nice acidic bite. The chowder was actually more lighter than I'm used to but then topped off with a savory bite of bacon. The pasta was my favorite with wonderful texture and nicely balanced sauce. Dessert was very decadent The only downside is that our server recommended the carpaccio. It was a very one dimensional dish and lacked it's own personality which every other dish had. Food: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Vibes: 8/10 Value: 4/10
5 Stars for food, service, and atmosphere. We came here on a recommendation and can see why. Our Server delivered excellent service and gave great guidance and suggestions. Appetizers and dinner was excellent, highly recommend the mushroom appetizers and the phyllo wrapped cod entree. Will definitely be back. Also, they played Radiohead the entire meal and that might have stolen my heart. Bravo!
Nice venue with elevated New England food options. Highly recommend the fried mushrooms. Quiet but lively vibe on a Friday night.
