Waypoint in Cambridge Makes Food and Wine's List of Top New Restaurants in America

A popular magazine and website has come out with its picks for best new restaurants in the United States, and one local spot has made the list.

According to its website, Food & Wine Magazine has included Waypoint in Cambridge in its list of 10 best new dining spots in America for 2017, mentioning that "When we hear a New England restaurant describe itself as 'coastally inspired,' we worry that we’ve seen it all before. But then along comes Waypoint to set us straight." F&W then goes on to say that "With his edgy approach to the region's culinary character...[Michael] Scelfo is taking aim at Boston's old-guard groove....Speaking for the proud New Englanders here at Food & Wine, we're happy to say he nailed it."

Waypoint, which is located on Mass. Ave. between Harvard Square and Central Square, is the only New England restaurant to make the list.
