The seafood-loving folks at Waypoint have planned a pre-Christmas Eve Feast of the Seven Fishes on Wednesday, December 23rd. Reserve a seat in their Cambridge dining room to sit down to a decadent seven-course tasting menu that’s teeming with seafood from start (hiramasa crudo with Asian pear) to (almost) finish (chili-glazed bass with braised white bean and guanciale) – dessert, thankfully, is fish-free. The epic meal, which costs $75 per person or $95 with paired wines, is available throughout the evening (from 5:00-10:00pm) in Waypoint’s safely-spaced dining room. Book your table online here asap to get in on the night before the night before Christmas festivities. Or call 617.864.2300 with any Qs.
