    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.

    Fantastic, organic and very clean. Most of these places everything tastes like grass. This place very good and worth the visit.

    We had a great experience at The Well. Margaritas were delicious and the shrimp tacos and wagyu burger was superb. We will be back soon.

    The portions were way too small and the chorizo in the hash was extremely limited with just potato’s. The steak was dry and old for medium rare for the steak and eggs dish.
