I thought food was less than ok specially for the price and the excellent reviews i read.
the porterhouse was very small but the meal as whole was tasty. The appetizers were tasty but small and prize. I though the service was poor as well. The waiter forgot our drinks and he also had little knowledge on the menu. We went on a summer Friday night and there were plenty of tables available.

When we travel from Texas to visit our daughter in Long Island City, we never fail to walk a few blocks to M Wells to savor it's excellent offerings. On our last trip we went there twice in 5 days. Whether it's a romantic dinner for the two of us, or a family meal including our daughter's 5 month old twins, the staff is very accommodating and attentive. It's becoming a family tradition! Manager Aaron Weeks does an impressive job. Catherine & Bob E.

$45 for a la carte' strip steak, that was < 6 oz and quite fatty. Had asparagus that was swimming in salty soup. "Naked" oysters were placed on crackers with awful dressing. Waiter was un-attentative and quoted no tip, but noted "hospitality" charge.

The menu at M. Wells. Steakhouse. is hardly what you would expect. By my count, there were only 2 steak dishes on the menu, and then there was duck, scallops, trout, chicken, pork chops (on special), and a few other items. The decor is welcoming and interesting, with an open kitchen to watch from most of the tables. The food and ingredients were high quality, and locally sourced, with the caveat that the chef on the night we were there was pretty heavy-handed with the salt. The result was that my duck leg and my husband's pig's head (yes, another option), both tasted quite similar, largely due to the salt content. Desserts were excellent, and the service was very good, with knowledegable and helpful waiters.

located in a quite street, great atmosphere in an old garage. great and professional staff. the food is delicious and well presentated. good wine list. the prices are high but it's totally worth it.
