"This is the ideal spot to pregame a big dinner at Puritan & Co. next door, or eat a seafood smorgasbord at the bar, which usually has open seats. We go straight for the “something small” part of the menu for bites like raw yellowtail taco in a wonton shell and the toast with lobster and scallops whipped into a briny, nutty mousse. This oyster bar also makes one of our favorite apps in town—a crab rangoon dip with lots of sweet chili flavor and wontons for scooping. Pair it with a Shiver Me Timbers, a coconut and pineapple rum cocktail that, in spite of the name, tastes like a classy mai tai." - dan secatore, tanya edwards
"Alexis Babineau, the assistant culinary director of chef Will Gilson’s Cambridge Street Hospitality (which includes Puritan & Company, the Lexington, and Amba), is leading a series of winter oyster-shucking classes at the group's Inman Square restaurant. On select Sundays in January, February, and March from 3:45 to 5 p.m., Babineau will teach proper shucking techniques to small groups; no prior experience is necessary. Each $75 ticket includes a beverage, snacks, and an oyster-shucking knife to take home. The first Sunday class is scheduled for January 12, with a full list of available dates and bookings on the restaurant's events page." - Erika Adams

"I found that chef Will Gilson’s Puritan Oyster Bar in Inman Square is hosting an oyster-shucking class on Sunday, March 24 from 3:30 to 5 p.m.; each $75 ticket includes a beverage, snacks, and a shiny new Puritan Oyster Bar shucking knife, and reservations are available." - Erika Adams
