Waypoint

Creative seafood & raw-bar selections, plus pizzas & pasta, in hip space with large absinthe menu.

"WHAT: Seafood-driven decadence in Harvard Square from white-hot culinary talent Michael Scelfo. 

WHY: Confident, vivid, highly original cooking that throws moderation to the wind in deploying fat, salt, and pure-pigment flavor: the good stuff. Fresh bucatini gets luxed up with smoked egg yolk, bottarga, pecorino, and velvety blobs of uni. Gloriously marbled wood-roasted char belly — with shatteringly crispy skin — gets the cassoulet treatment atop a bed of creamy ceci beans punched up with grilled grapes and lemon. The thoroughly on-the-pulse cocktail program showcases supple milk punches, restless house infusions (see: squid-ink mezcal), and a card-carrying cordial dork’s depth in absinthe." [Eater]
