    First of all, The Well is decorated perfectly. It's so beautiful inside and very welcoming. Fits the vibe perfectly. First impressions left a lot to be desired with the hostess. She was not welcoming, pretty cold, and all around gave the vibe that she didn't want to be there. She was also sitting people right next to each other, at tables that are much too close to each other, when there were open tables just a few seats down. People were getting up and moving after she'd place them because you couldn't have a conversation with whomever you were with if the next table also were having a conversation. Our server was wonderful and gave good recommendations on what to order. The food was just mid. It wasn't bad, it wasn't the best, it tasted good but it wasn't anything I'm clamoring to go back to. As a person who eats gluten free because I medically have to, I was looking forward to the meal quite a bit, but the options were just very strange and mushrooms seemed to be in every dish (mushrooms gross me out). The crispy potatoes in the classic breakfast were AMAZING but very salty. In the end, will I be back? Yeah, probably but it won't be for breakfast/brunch.

    Great food in a pleasant environment. I recommend high top seating. The food was fresh, healthy, tasty, and service was timely. Also great that they validate 90 minutes of parking at Austin City Hall garage!

    My spouse has several food sensitivities, and we have a hard time finding a restaurant that has more than one or two items she can eat. It was such pleasure to find a restaurant where she could eat almost everything on the menu AND it was good.

    Hi Brennen, Thanks so much for your kind words! We're glad we could provide both a safe and delicious experience for you and your spouse. We hope to become a regular spot of yours :)
