    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!

    Made reservations for 5@ 2:30 on Sunday 5/25 for a late lunch/early dinner before a 4 pm lecture at The Hilton. Was NOT told that the kitchen closed from 3-4 either on The Well’s website or on Open Table where reservation was made. Found out when 3 of our party checked in at 2:30. Staff agreed that it should have been somewhere on The Well’s website & Open Table reservations site. From The Well’s website, we knew that brunch was available 9-3 on Sat & Sunday, BUT it did not occur to me that meant Lunch was NOT available - it does not specify that info on the lunch menu online. Since 2 of our group didn’t arrive til 2:45, having made lunch selections from the lunch menu which were NOT available on the brunch menu, there was a hurried scramble to get an order in before the kitchen closed @3! Unpleasant experience.

    Super cute place for brunch! I am dairy free and gluten free so I enjoyed that I didn’t have to worry when ordering from this menu. I got the avocado toast + chicken salad and it was really good!

    We really love this place. They have very healthy and nutritious food but do it really really well in a upscale setting. Never thought I would love bone broth but a buddy of mine recommended it with turmeric and steak bites added and now I can't get enough of it. Totally addictive and I crave it. All of the food we've had has been excellent. The atmosphere is very chic. The servers are very nice but could pick up the pace a bit. I'm not the most patient person so take that for what it's worth. Otherwise, five stars from me.

    The Well is a must if you prefer clean, high quality ingredients and delicious food! I was initially drawn to them because of their gluten, dairy and seed oil free offerings and they don't disappoint! The service and ambience is unmatched. This visit they were out of 3 items on the menu I was hoping for which was unfortunate but not the norm. I will gladly return again and again!
