M. Wells Steakhouse - Long Island City

AMAZING FOOD, AMAZING STAFF Came here for a friend's birthday and had a pretty good experience. It was a set menu because of the number of people in our group. The appetizers were yummy but weren't a fan of the wedge salad because I don't like blue cheese, and they can't separate it from the dish, which was a bummer. The main course steak was delicious with a perfect medium rare for dessert it was apple pie and ice cream, which was a perfect match and great ending. The atmosphere was really nice and the staff were super attentive. The only thing was that we waited quite a while for each dish of food, which made us a little annoyed because we were hungry.

Had a triple date with some friends here the other night and Charles made sure our experience was wonderful. Shoutout for talking about specials like they were a monologue. We shared oysters and poutine for the table. The oysters were fresh and the Poutine as expected was gooey and delicious. I had their sour mocktail, which gave me everything I wanted without a hangover. Mocktail game is strong. My boyfriend and I shared the Monkfish Bourguignon and the Foie Gras burger, both melted in your mouth, full of flavor and comfort. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place to everyone!

Good staff and service. The atmosphere is relaxing and they had live music on a Thursday night. Food is good but wait time was definitely on the extended side all things considered. I ordered the duck which was satisfying but will return for the burger

When we moved in across the street, I figured that a restaurant right next to an enormous high rise would probably just coast off convenience and churn out OK but basically uninteresting food. I was wrong! Having eaten here about half a dozen times, I think the concise description is that M. Wells is a restaurant run by a couple that loves running a restaurant. Looking at food, the menu changes slowly enough to revisit favorites but quickly enough that there are probably new dishes between visits. The cooking behind it seems to come from a place of real curiosity about how food can be delicious and interesting, with more attention paid to old techniques than new ones, and mercifully little of the stuffy pride that sometimes entails. It has the feeling of humans trying to do things they think are good and cool, with not much strategizing beyond that. Having eaten around the area for a couple of years, I think it is the best restaurant , whatever that means. We recently had multi-course dinner for two here and got out for just over $50 per person after tip (no drinks), which I think is extremely reasonable for what we got. Beyond the food, I appreciate how much random community stuff they do: they provide food/drinks/music/etc for both the annual neighborhood block party and marathon, and they also host classes and markets throughout the year. They apparently have live music now too. Overall, it seems like the sort of place that would be great for a couple of years and then close because the people running it optimized for being good instead of profitable ... except it has somehow stayed open for over a decade. I hope they keep going. P.S.: the annual meat pies are great.
