Puritan and Company

Parker House rolls with cultured butter are a sensible start at Puritan and Company in Inman Square. The Cambridge Street restaurant serves a changing dinner menu with room for seafood, pasta, meat and vegetables. Recent dishes have included crab cake with green curry, carrot gnocchi with lemon mascarpone, and braised lamb ragù over orecchiette. You can build a meal around those smaller and larger dishes without committing to a fixed menu. Sunday brings brunch as well as a separate prime-rib dinner offering. Reservations distinguish Puritan and Company from its neighboring Puritan Oyster Bar, so choose the dining room you mean to visit. Takeout is also available if dinner at home is the better plan.
