    Finally, a seed-oil free restaurant that’s focusing on delivering a high quality food experience, free from the toxins most restaurants don’t take the time and care to avoid.

    The food is clean, healthy, and soooo flavorful. Pesto pasta with chicken was very very good. The Pillow Talk mocktail also may be my favorite mocktail I have had!

    I've been eating at the Well for a coupe of years now, and lately the food is becoming much too spicy. Menu items that I was told were 'not spicy' turned out to be very much so.
    The WellResponded 7 days ago
    Hello Joe, We're sorry to hear about your recent experience with the spice level at The Well. We always aim to provide our guests with a pleasant dining experience, and we regret that we fell short in this instance. We appreciate your patience and your feedback, as it helps us identify areas where we can improve. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future and provide a more enjoyable dining experience. Thank you, The Well Management Team

    Very pretty place and set up well. Food was good and priced accordingly. Service was slow and seemed disconnected from his work. Definitely not that friendly, not rude though. Probably wouldn't return unless it's for drinks on the patio.
