    Loved the food, I had the chai pudding and revive smoothie and they were great. Really like the health focus at this place. The drip coffee was also nice. Edison our server did a great job. Really cool place.

    We are not vegans, but we enjoy the vegan offerings at The Well. Do not miss the guacamole appetizer - the pomegranate topping makes the dish! Also, if Danny is behind the bar, ask him to make a 'Paper Plane' cocktail for you. Perfection!

    Two in our group waited 20 minutes after others were served to receive their dinners, with just a casual apology. Returned to this restaurant for the pesto pasta which was great last time, but not enjoyable on this visit. Beautiful restaurant but not a great experience this time.

    Everything was absolutely unique and delicious! Had wagyu tacos, pesto/chickpea pasta, brussel sprouts, lettuce wraps and pasta bolognese. Also desserts sooo good. Service impeccable. Only complaint is serving sizes were normal which meant no left overs and was pricey.

    Wonderful food! Brussels sprouts were fantastic! Salmon and coconut curry dishes were too. We had two people in our party who are gluten free and dairy free. Such a refreshing experience to be able to order anything off the menu without asking what’s in it! Will be back!

    The food was incredible and the service was fantastic. We were there for brunch and had the pancakes, breakfast tacos and steak and eggs along with the delicious Revive smoothie. They use all the healthiest ingredients. We ended up eating here several times over a long weekend. Every meal was flavorful and vibrant. We literally kept going back the Well.
