Unlike many of the busy restaurants in the city, The Westerly does take reservations on Friday and Saturday night.
Unfortunately we didn't know that until we got there. We stopped in here on a random Friday night to find out all the tables were booked up for the night. The crowd was mature (most were 50+). Luckily one of the reservations called to cancel not too long after we'd arrived and we were able to grab the last two seats at the bar.
The serving staff walked us through the menu recommending the scallops to start (delicious!), the trout and the braised short ribs. We also had their Georgian wine (from the country, not the state) that was really different from anything we'd had before. As a bonus, they two espressos we ordered to finish our meal were on the house.
We'll have to come back and try it out their raved about brunch.
