Waypoint

Chef Michael Scelfo of Alden & Harlow opened Waypoint, his second Cambridge restaurant, on the other side of Harvard Square. The menu applies Scelfo’s forward-thinking approach to coastal-inspired fare, resulting in an expansive and inviting menu. Starters run the gamut from raw bar and delicate crudo to classic caviar service with modern touches (plankton and white corn blini, anyone?) Seafood items are woven through an assortment of pizzas, pastas, and composed plates. The cocktail menu places a focus on absinthe, and the beer and wine lists are populated with inviting, hard-to-find options.
