    Amazing location for organic and minimally processed food. They have grass fed organic beef nothing cooked with seed oils. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I would highly recommend it and I will be back.

    Everything was great for us this Easter Sunday! We dined on the patio and although it was a bit crowded, it worked. Food was excellent and enjoyed by all!

    Could use some more flavor/seasoning and still be healthy! Love the vibe and look and the concept.

    Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing due to the fact that our appetizers appeared almost instantly after being ordered, after which our entrees were served within another two minutes: no matter how good the food, menu choices, or ambience, you’ll never be able to enjoy a dining experience when you can’t even fit all your plates and glasses on your table. Despite our server being very friendly, our questioning about the rush was shrugged off. Made for a mediocre evening.

    Did not give us what we ordered and I have yet to experience a heavily plant based restaurant that was THIS bland. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted for a salt and pepper shaker at a restaurant before, but The Well changed that for me. The best part about the meal were the side fingerling potatoes and the brussel sprouts and the potatoes were room temperature. Atmosphere was great, just surprisingly disappointing.

    This was our first time dining at THE WELL based on a recommendation from one of our friends about where to take out-of-town guests. We had an amazing meal, great service, fun drinks, and enjoyed a nice, relaxing evening of delicious food. One thing that always makes me happy is when I can't stop thinking about the food I ate and tasted and this restaurant delivered in spades. We plan to return soon and will recommend The Well to others. Thanks again for a wonderful evening!!
