   I used to think of Puritan & Company as someplace special—the most recent trip, it was okay. Nothing was memorably good, and the food, generally, was much lower quality than I would expect given previous experiences there. For instance the steak was so gristly, very little of it was edible. It is coming out of the rotation of favorite restaurants for us. We’ll give it a try in a while, now with much lower expectations.

   Frankly ingredients and dishes did not live up to a 75 dollar dining experience. You are better off ordering a la carte.

   Great friendly service. Nice decor, mix of rustic and modern. Portions are on the smaller side though.

   We enjoyed the outdoor patio very much, and service (Zoe) was terrific. The food, as always, was exceptional--starting off with the famous Puritan rolls. We shared the fried hen of the woods mushrooms--very lightly battered, not at all oily, and with a delicious lemon aioli. My spouse, a vegetarian, had the semolina trofie--a fresh pasta with yummy pesto and ricotta. I had the ribeye -- generous and perfectly cooked with mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, and a hearty onion broth-type sauce.

    Food was fabulous but the main course was tiny (cod and scallops). Service was spotty and it didn’t seem to be busy or understaffed. They brought our main course immediately after our appetizer which was so weird considering how long everything else took. Also expensive for what was received. Delicious yes but pricey with not great service

    The food was delicious but service was slow, maybe because it was Father’s Day? I had been before and had a great time, so hopefully the wait was a one time thing.

    Service/Server was wonderful, but food was unremarkable and one dish inedible..meat was mostly fat. The food was very delayed so they comped us some wine and dessert. We chose to celebrate a birthday here so it was extra disappointing. We won’t go again. We are very patient people but this was even too much for us.

    We were all so pleased with our experience at Puritan & Company - from the food, to the beverages, and especially the service. Every member of the team was attentive and made us feel welcomed. There was a member of our party with a gluten intolerance, who had so many options and was able to adapt some dishes to their needs.

    We were escorted to our table by a lovely hostess Jaquie but then did not have wait staff for over 5 minutes, and we were the 3rd table that had people sitting in the restaurant. Noticed that the wait staff was congregated in the back as we tried to get their attention. Evidently our waiter had all 3 tables. However, the manager and our waiter made up for that as well as helped me celebrate my 60th birthday. The food was wonderful and highly recommend the shrimp and scallop risotto. Not a fan of the octopus but others might like. Had great drink options that were thoughtfully prepared. The morel mushrooms were a treat from the manager and cooked perfectly. Very eclectic atmosphere but note that prices are very high. Husband ordered the scallops which came with 3 and cost over $25. We finished dinner with a wonderful chocolate tart and coffee. Coffee was served luke warm, I prefer mine hot. Otherwise we loved the experience and would go back to see what owner Bill Gilson has on the menu when we are back in town. By the way even the bread is considered an add on expense but so worth it, Parker rolls were amazing!

    Decent food. Mother’s Day brunch…Greek yogurt berry parfait was incredibly basic (handful of strawberries, honey, granola, yogurt). Expected a bit more creative thought. All in all friendly and helpful staff.

    Great dinner. Our server was great with the recommendations. The drinks are wonderful and elevated. We did the 5 Course Chef-Tasting Gluten free which was fantastic. We opted to pass on the Wine Pairing. Scallop Ceviche, Pork Pate, Gluten Free Pasta (weakest of the dishes but still good), Duck Breast (stand-out - incredible) and a Torte for Dessert with Marscapone and Caramel. Overall good vibes and good food.

    Every single dish except one appetizer came to the table refrigerator-cold or cool -- very disappointing. Risotto was undercooked. Quality of rib eye special was bad -- mostly chunks of inedible fat. Service took a long time. Fried hen of the woods appetizer was fantastic. Apricot sorbet pretty good too.

    Lovely, four-top meal in the back room, which is out of the main dining area, a bit dimmer, though intimate. Joe was our server, and he took care of us expertly—allowing us time for conversation while also taking advantage of lulls (or empty drinks) to keep the meal advancing. Food was generally excellent, though understand that this is very much a small-plate-style experience. We ordered lots of dishes and shared them among the table. Overall, beautiful dining

    Fun menu, although the billing that it’s a modern take on classic New England food seems a stretch. Food was good, though nothing stands out as particularly memorable except the Parker House rolls. Our waiter, however, was memorable for his surliness. The menu explicitly says let your server know of food allergies, so I asked if the pasta dish could be done without onion or garlic because I have an allium aversion. He responded that everything has onion and garlic, and he didn’t think anything could be done without. I asked if he would just check with the kitchen to see if anything could be done without onions and garlic, and he quickly came back and said EVERYTHING could be done onion and garlic free, though he seemed almost exasperated for being proven wrong. Just not a pleasant guy.

    Only had the Easter Brunch menu available during dinner service. At $65/person for brunch items, it was pricey.
