Overview:

Went here with a group of three girlfriends the second week of opening. We were seated right away however they do have a large bar and seating area if you wait for a table. They don't normally take reservations.

We started out with some great wines, I had a Pinot Noir from Oregon which was perfect - smooth and velvety. They do sample any of the wines by the glass before you commit.

We all shared a bunch of apps including the Putanesca pizza, Country Pate, Mussels, Monkey bread and a salad. Everything was fabulous but the mussels were definitely the table favorite. SO YUMMY. It was a white wine broth with Pesto and spicy andouille sausage.

For dessert we had the cheescake and cake selection. My favorite was the lemon blueberry cheescake. What a great addition to Wells Street. See you soon ;)
