    Service and atmosphere were outstanding, and food was very good. Our one qualm is that while they have their “thing” — with excluding dairy, wheat, seed oils, etc. from everything — it’d be nice to be able to just get some normal cheese or white rice. Really appreciate how dedicated they are to the no bad oils, but there’s a certain point where it’s a bit too restrictive.

    Es un lugar pequeño, pero con mucho encanto. Bien decorado y la ubicación es muy céntrica. La comida estuvo deliciosa, y los tragos exquisitos.

    This was our 1st visit and we LOVED it! our guests needed vegetarian options so we chose The Well for a pre- Broadway in Austin performance of Les Mis. We all thoroughly enjoyed the scrumptious vegetarian options. Our only disappointment was that they no longer served our new favorite Spanish wine despite it still being shown as available on the menu online.

    This restaurant is so amazing. The food is delicious, but it's also healthy and very clean as somebody who is gluten and dairy free. This is like my heaven, but when I bring friends there who are not those things they still really enjoy and go back on their own.
