Waypoint

Michael Scelfo's seafood-focused restaurant, which is located just outside of Harvard Square, highlights the chef's innovative approach to food with a coastal influence. Raw bar, delicate crudo, and a traditional caviar service with modern accents are some of the starters (try a plankton and white corn blini). On pizzas, pastas, and artistic dishes, seafood shines. Try the smoked egg yolk, pecorino, and bottarga uni buccatini for an absolute umami bomb in your mouth.

On the other side of Harvard Square, Alden & Harlow chef Michael Scelfo debuted Waypoint, his second Cambridge eatery. The menu combines Scelfo's innovative approach with seaside cuisine to create a wide-ranging and welcoming meal. Starters range from exquisite crudo and raw bar to traditional caviar service with contemporary accents (plankton and white corn blini, anyone?). A variety of pizzas, pastas, and prepared meals have seafood components. The highlight of the cocktail menu is absinthe, and the beer and wine menus are full of interesting, hard-to-find selections.
