    Food was all really good. Açaí bowl was good and steak was cooked perfectly. Service was very slow and parking isn’t validated on weekends.

    First of all, I really appreciate the concept of a restaurant serving up clean, healthy food with no “funny business” additives. At most places, you really don’t know what you’re getting, where it was sourced or what kind of oil was used. So I am very grateful to have found The Well. Doesn’t seem like serving up clean, healthy food should be anomalous but sadly it is. The food was delicious (gluten free!), the service was attentive and the interior was very nice without being pretentious. Highly recommend and will be returning soon.

    Food was excellent. We loved the pork masa and guac as apps. Pork chop, chicken and short ribs were all excellent. Brussels weed really good. And so were the desserts. 100% gluten free which was so great.

    We love the Well, only 4 visits in two days on an Austin City break. Love everything about it especially as we are trying to eat clean and enjoy healthy food. Ticks every box!

    My boyfriend has Celiac disease so we are always looking for a gluten free kitchen. The food is delicious and I love that you can mix and match the entree and sides to match your diet.

    Hi Maesan, Thank you for dining with us at The Well! We're glad that you all enjoyed your recent experience with us, and that we were able to accommodate your boyfriend's celiac disease. We hope to become a regular spot for you :)

    We’ve only been to Austin a couple of times but we ate here both times over five days almost exclusively. They really have the perfect mix of healthy food with amazing flavor and great service.

    YUM! This place has delicious food and drinks! We were in a large party and had a range of tacos, pasta and salad. Portions are of good size and everyone was happy with what they ordered. The drinks were still being talked about even after we left the restaurant and were at our next spot. Loved the ambience and the service! This isn't my first time coming here and for sure not my last.

    Hi Alycia, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We appreciate hearing that everyone in your party enjoyed the food and drinks, and we look forward to serving you again during your next visit :)

    this was our first time at the downtown Austin location. have walked by it many times but didn't notice it even though it has been there since 2020. Food was tasty, service was prompt and atmosphere was nice. my only complaint is, if you go for dinner and park in the building's garage, they do not validate after 5pm entry. the 2 hours we spent for dinner cost me $26 to park!
    The WellResponded on June 4, 2025
    Hi Ronald, Thank you so much for joining us! We're glad to hear your overall experience at the restaurant was enjoyable. At the same time, we understand parking downtown can be a bit stressful. Kindly note we do also validate the City of Austin Garage anytime for up to 90 minutes. We hope this helps during your next visit!
