Looking for a new date-night destination in Wellesley? Grab a bottle of wine and head over to Justine’s Table, a new all-American BYOB restaurant that has just opened on Route 9.

The menu features certified Black Angus New York sirloin, seafood linguine, oysters on the half shell, crab cakes and Brick Chicken. Side dishes are handmade, and desserts will change daily – but the Cheesecake Cocktail, served in a martini glass with Chambord and strawberries, is already a favorite.

Justine’s Table is currently offering membership to an exclusive “100 Club” program, which includes wine caddy service and storage.

The restaurant takes its name from a family friend of owner Gordon Breidenbach. Justine was a nun who saved the lives of many soldiers during World War I. Justine’s Table opened just before Veteran’s Day, and will honor the nation’s military and Gold Star families by donating a portion of its proceeds to veteran’s groups and military causes.

Check out the website and find Justine’s Table on Facebook.

For reservations, call 781-772-1488. The hours are Friday and Saturday evenings from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Monday through Thursday 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. The hours are subject to change, and Sunday hours will be posted before Thanksgiving.

Justine’s Table is located at 978 Worcester Street (Route 9).
