According to a press release, Smith & Wollensky is opening in Wellesley, with the address indicating that it will be taking over the former Blue Ginger space on Washington Street. It appears that the new location of the steakhouse--which will join others at "The Castle" in Boston's Back Bay, Atlantic Wharf along the waterfront, and a handful of others in the U.S. and in London--will be opening in early 2018.
Blue Ginger shut down last June, with owner Ming Tsai indicating that the decision was made in part because of his plan to start a new quick-service stir-fry concept called ChowStirs. (His other restaurant--Blue Dragon in Boston's Fort Point--remains open for business.)
The address for the new outlet of Smith & Wollensky in Wellesley is 583 Washington Street, Wellesley, MA, 02482. The website for all locations can be found at http://www.smithandwollensky.com/
