    Great for private events - lobster sweet corn risotto, garlic roasted seafood and crab salad were best. Service and atmosphere also awesome!

    M. Wells never fails to be wonderful. Food is fantastic, drinks well made, and service always excellent. Worth the money and perfect for a shared group meal. Don't miss the happy hour special as well.

    Fantastic starters and steaks. I can personally recommend the Caesar salad, bone marrow onion soup, filet, ny strip and poutine. Beware, the starters are huge and best for sharing.

    LOVE this place now that I know what to order. The T-bone steak is great to share for two. Great sides include poutine, carrots, spinach. Dessert cart is a must. Great wine list.

    Probably the best place I have eaten in a year. Crab legs are mind blowing, steak is amazing, cheese plate knocked my socks off, and beer/wine pairing options are phenomenal.

    Classy chophouse meets whimsy and a bit of irreverence at M. Wells Steakhouse, our 2014 Food & Drink Winner for Best New Steakhouse. Meal highlights: cote de boeuf, foi gras gnocchi, and wedge salad. Read more

    M. Wells serves things like BBQ mussels on a stick and foie gras-stuffed gnocchi. The fish come from a tank in the kitchen, and the desserts come from a trolley that's wheeled through the dining room.

    The Wagyu was so delectable - perfectly chewy and decadent. The Beaver Tail was impressive and so perfectly sweet!

    Cool place. The onion bone marrow soups is a decadent onion bacon chili with a hunk of marrow. I suggest ordering the apps/sides to share. Entrees are disappointing in comparison and $$$ for no reason

    I love the chefs bar - seeing the chef grab trout from the tank and prepare it front of you is interesting. Everything tastes incredible.

    Acorn Pork Rack, outstanding. Cocktail: A Well Lubricated Nail. Staff is professional, friendly. Extensive wine list, and good tap beers. One subway stop from midtown, could use a porch light.

    Bone in burger = really good, Caesar salad = a lot of cheese (great if you like cheese!), trout = FRESH! (watch out for bones), poutine/fries = the perfect crunch, service=attentive,not highbrow

    foie gras-covered pancakes and chawanmushi made with bacon and sea urchin, T-bone or bone-in rib eye steaks, or split platters of chateaubriand or côte du boeuf.

    Took the Times’ advice and got the tomahawk chop. It was excellent and could easily serve three people. Also, the Solomon Grundy is a must have.

    The food is amazing. Get anything with bone marrow or the steak tartare.

    By stripping away much of the over-the-top weirdness of their previous ventures (that bone-in burger aside), M. Wells Steakhouse delivers pure, gluttonous pleasure.

    A zany, occasionally delicious restaurant, one of very few fine dining options in Queens. Steaks are the weak point; stick to the more inventive parts of the menu.

    Yes, it's a "steakhouse", but focus on sides like foie gras gnocchi, three types of "pommes" and French onion soup with a bone in it.

    In Fat We Trust. Go for: poutine, anything w foie gras, sweetbread, or bone marrow. Brisket is ok.
