      Service was excellent and overall food was good. The avocado mousse for dessert tasted too much like banana and not enough cacao.

      Terrible experience. On a Tuesday evening at 8 pm they ran out of two vegetarian options, that leaves only one item pasta which was super oily. My throat still hurts with the oily pasta. Also made this reservation for bday celebration and specified in the reservation as well but the server didn’t acknowledge or made any special effort. Also the server had attitude and came across rude

      Three of four of us had vegan meals, and we are not vegan or even vegetarian—nor must you be to eat here. The Well demonstrates that healthy food can be delicious and delivered in a sophisticated atmosphere. Service was friendly and conscientious. We’ll definitely be back.

      I went to the Well in part because it's so close to ACL/3Ten. I had never eaten here before, but I loved the concept of healthier food per mindful preparation, and we enjoyed a couple of items off the happy hour menu before our main meals arrived. My friend enjoyed the fish, and I liked my entree in general, but I ordered the steak, and I was surprised to have two end pieces that were tough with gristle. When paying more than $60 for a piece of meat, this should have absolutely been trimmed. Every kitchen has an off night, so I would give the Well another go based on the ambience, appetizers, sides, and location. However, I've had much better steaks in Texas, which accounts for my lower food score. While I am not one, I would add it's a very good option for someone who is a vegetarian or pescatarian per the variety of choices that would please people in those categories.
      The WellResponded on 26 November 2024
      Hi Barbara, Thanks for visiting us at The Well! We appreciate hearing that you enjoyed our ambience, appetizers, sides, and location. Thank you for your feedback on the steak and we will certainly take it into consideration as we aim to consistently meet our customers' expectations. We're glad that you found everything else satisfying and we look forward to welcoming you back for a better experience. Kindly, The Management Team
