Fantastic food with excellent service. Modern twists on some great European classics. Great ambiance inside a very unsuspecting building. You can order individual dishes as well as share smaller plates. The zucchini knots and lobster cacio e pepe were real standouts! Our server gave great wine recommendations. Expensive but won’t break the bank!

We’ve walked past Waypoint a number of times since moving to Harvard Square. We finally came for $1 oysters (5-7 pm Mon-Thurs) and were not disappointed!! The hot sauce was a fun touch and the oysters themselves were top notch. My husband got a couple of old fashioneds and they were also great (not too sweet and no club soda - perfect!). Service was notably good as well. We would definitely come back!

The staff were warm and accommodating. The food was absolutely fresh and fast. We started with the pepperoni pizza which was delicious while it was hot and had a portion of the fries which were different from the norm in a good way. Wine, cocktails were great. Will revisit!!

Visited this charming spot with my dear friend for happy hour oysters. We promptly ordered four dozen oysters and relished the experience. Despite initial concerns about a way too cheap price affecting the flavor, our worries were unfounded. We were both pleased with the delectable, flavorful oysters and had an enjoyable time at this restaurant. I look forward to returning for their tempting pizza.

Waypoint is a fine dining seafood restaurant in the middle of Cambridge that has a large seafood menu and a great set of drinks including an absinthe infused cocktail offering. We went here for their signature $1 Oysters and we were very satisfied!

I came here pre-pandemic ~3 times for $1 oysters. Their oysters are top notch and come with the usual sauces. We always also ordered another dish because we felt bad just ordering oysters. The other dishes (crab angel hair pasta, a seafood pizza) were good, but obviously more expensive and not as delicious as the oysters! I'm excited to return to have more fresh briny oysters.

Our waitress, Lauren, was amazing. She was so attentive and extremely friendly, responsive, and kind. She had no issue when we sent food back to have it cooked the way we preferred and she made sure it was done correctly. She also facilitated a wonderful birthday dessert for my dad and had great knowledge of the menu. This place is one of my favorites and will continue to be, we recommend it to everyone.

Great food, but extremely slow and inattentive service. We arrived for our reservation on time and then waited almost 30 minutes to be seated. Our waitress came by immediately to take our drink order and did not return for almost 30 minutes. Our waters were only refilled once nearing the end of the meal. Thankfully the food was wonderful, but I can't recommend this place until the service improves.

Went for brunch on New Year’s Day. They had $1 oyster happy hour. Definitely worth it! On weekdays happy hour is 3-6pm. I think brunch is reasonably priced. Hearth Avocado Toast is good and mixture of flavors is well balanced although I find the brioche a little too thick. Some bites seemed “dry” because of it. Hiramasa appetizer very good, a little pricey for the portion size. Not recommended- mimosa too pricey haha Overall good dining experience!

Came here for a date night and for the happy hour oysters. The oysters were amazing and we ordered two dozen. Everything else including the carrot latkes, butternut squash pizza and chocolate peanut butter cake was very good too.

Points for the great service, quality ingredients, flavor combinations, fresh oysters, and large salads suitable for sharing. We particularly liked the cod and Caesar salad. This is a great spot for celebrations. Negatives for portion sizes of the cod, salmon, and roasted mixed vegetables; overly sweet unbalanced desserts, and very very dim lighting. The regular press coffee was very good but the filter didn’t remove all coffee grounds. The pesto of the mixed vegetables might have been better as a coating or as he rather than next to the veggies. The restaurant was packed.

We came for the dollar oyster deal and also got our first clam pizza. The clam pizza was delicious! And the oysters were tasty. Would come back!

I can’t stress how underrated this spot is. The dollar oysters during brunch are fantastic. The Brunch Menu breakfast pizza, shakshuka, and donuts with chocolate sauce are must-tries. I’m not a huge shakshuka fan but the one here tastes so special, like it was really celebrating each vegetable ingredient rather than masking it in tomato sauce. I wouldnt have noticed the donuts, which are hidden at the bottom of the menu and not online, had I not asked the waitress for a recommendation. I get it every time now- they’re so fluffy and light and the chocolate sauce is good enough to drink. The breakfast pizza was so filling and flavorful. The cocktails here are also so tasty. It’s a but on the pricier side for brunch but I leave so satisfied with everything I eat during every visit. The ambience is also amazing, and the waitstaff are so friendly!! The vibes are great in here.

The Brussels pizza is an Ideal roasted Brussels sprout dish shredded over a pizza. Perfectly not to heavy on ingredients Great deal on oysters Tuna was by far the best! Highly recommend Drinks were flavor forward and unique. Timing on dishes was slow but we fault that to our error not the restaurant

Came here for dinner Saturday and brunch on Sunday. Both times our servers were very friendly and professional. The oysters were great, and they had a $1 oyster happy hour at brunch. For dinner, the whitefish pizza was yummy, as were the octopus and the salmon. Loved that they had mocktails on the menu too! The South Pacific one was delicious. For brunch, we loved the breakfast pizza and French press coffee. Cinnamon rolls and crab Benedict were also good. Overall, this was a great dining experience and we will be back!

Delicious food! Had really amazing experience here. It is small to medium portion, so my friend and I ordered 2 Crudos, 2 Plats, and 1 Pasta. All was very very delicious. If you have an occasion to celebrate, absolute recommendation!

Let me start by saying this place is overpriced, the portions are very small! Second, there were 4 of us as they brought food with 5-10 min difference for each of us, making it hard for some to enjoy meal while another person didn’t have his food;( Oysters were fresh and good! Octopus was very soft and delicious but the potato in the salad was flavorless. Lobster tail was teeny tiny and served on ….. pepper? It was extremely spicy! I had branzino which tasted like medicine(you know what is added to seafood which is imported from faraway to safe it’s freshness?), I took a bite and threw it away… we let the server know it and she brought it to chef’s attention, though they removed it from the check the evening had a bad aftertaste. And also does the chef try the food before serving it? If you have a new and “fresh” batch of seafood do you try it this same day to know if it is really good and fresh? Also we have noticed that everyone there ordered oysters, pizza and salads, so probably this is all you need to order here.

My husband and I came here for late and we really liked it! We had oysters, cocktail shrimps, carbonara, and something with pulled pork (cant remember the name) and they were all delicious! We personally like their dinner menu a lot more, which is available after 3 pm, so we would go again in the evening. The interior is really nice and they have lots of fancy lightings!

Seafoods and pasta. Dollar oyster happy hour definitely brings in a lot of people. Pretty good sides of fried octopus, fries, and then ordered two pasta dishes. Friendly waitstaff, good experience.

The crab farro salad was outstanding, same with the clam pizza. Uni bucatini is average.

Can't Beat Oysters for a $1 Mon-Fri. Happy Hour 5-7:00 pm. Yum! Sincerely, Gary L.

I've been trying to get my buddy into gin, my favorite for martinis. We come to Waypoint and I request a "martini with the best gin, but not the most expensive." Tony, our bartender says "I'll use my favorite gin." He used Saint George Terroir. Long story short, my homies and I are now a gin martini squad... Food and other service was also 👌#Internations

Time and again Waypoint delivers such a great experience. Food is always just a delight. Great mix of classic seafood options, but plenty of adventurous plates. Options for shared small plates or large entrees. Raw bar is fantastic, the pizzas are lights out (chopped clam will knock your socks off!), and cocktails are solid. The service is exceptional, staff are incredibly friendly and always willing to offer a recommendation. I would make sure to give yourself time to find parking if you drive. It’s a little hard to find parking on the street. Spot hero usually has options and there are a few lots within a 10 minute walk.

The food was beyond my expectation. We ordered oysters which were as good as the ones I used to have at now-closed island creek oysters bar. Entrees were also fantastic. We had a crab pasta, salmon, uni pasta and a clam pizza and they were all very delicious. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough!

Our waitress Victoria rocked! She was kind, personable and helpful with recommendations. My favorite was the tuna crudo then the lobster cacio e pepe. The clam pizza was good but would ask for a bit less pecorino as it was overpowering. The grilled lemon topper was a great touch! We were celebrating our friends wedding and they kindly gave us bubbly to toast!

Amazing seafood! I have been here multiple times and we always order uni bucatini!!!! Pizza and oysters are also really amazing!!! Can’t wait to come back!!!

Forget the dollar oysters in Southie or literally anywhere else. Come to Waypoint instead. They definitely have the fattest, cleanest, most delicious oysters ever. Also, there’s no limit on how many you can order. My friends and I came here and literally ate 36 each LOL. Cocktails are good and their pasta dishes are also totally underrated, but I’m telling you now - after you eat your dozen oysters, get the uni bucatini, then finish off your meal with their fresh doughnuts. Overall, always have a great time here and it’s a good place for groups. Food is great quality at a good price and the servers are always fun in my experience.

One of our favourite restaurants. Great for the seafood lover but also good for a group with a variety of eaters. There is amazing pizza and pasta, fab cocktails. I totally miss the house-made bread and koji butter though.

I ate here a while ago at the chef's table. When I first arrived, they acknowledged my food allergy and promised I would get the same number of courses to account for the allergy before I even asked. In reality, 2 of the courses placed in front of me were not ones I could eat and I had to call someone over to remind them of my allergy. I did not get replacements (as promised when I first sat down) and still had to pay full price for the experience. Food was good, and atmosphere was good, but I was beyond disappointed about my experience. Do not recommend the chef's table, they are not accommodating of food allergies.
