Fodor's Expert Review Waypoint
$$$$
Harvard Square
Brunch
Chef-owner Michael Scelfo looked seaward to inform the menu of his second venture after Alden & Harlow. Named aptly for a plot on a map, Waypoint is his step forward on the path to coastal-inspired fare that includes an excellent raw bar with crudos, bivalves, and the celebrated caviar served with doughnut holes, along with whole-fish roasts, slow-roasted meats, indulgent seafood pasta dishes, and inventive pizzas. There's a creative cocktail program that's highlighted by several varieties of absinthe served from copper, twist-top faucets.
