    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!

    We went here for Mother's day. 4 of us on the patio. Great spot for being part of the hustle and bustle of 2nd street in Austin, but tucked behind the patio walls to be removed just enough for a nice dinner. Be warned, it is a place that has very healthy items on the menu, no sodas for the kiddos or anything fried that I could recall, but even I found the Wagyu steak to be amazing. It is very informal out on the patio, folks sitting and drinking with their pets and others sitting around their dinner tables. Not a fan of pets being at restaurants but the folks who had them kept them under control, I think it is an Austin thing for sure. All that to say, come in for a glass of wine, try the Brussel sprouts, the teenagers loved em!

    They probably shouldn’t have accepted later reservations on Mother’s Day if they couldn’t keep up with demand. The good: The space is beautiful—stylish, calm, and quiet enough to enjoy conversation with your group. We were really excited to try a variety of dishes. The vanilla maca latte was actually the reason I made our reservation weeks in advance—the menu looked amazing. The bad: By the time we sat down, nearly everything we wanted to order was sold out. No maca. No ceviche. No heirloom tomatoes. And when I tried to order pancakes for my daughter—those were sold out too. At that point, we realized we needed to leave and find another spot for lunch. The berry matcha was delicious, but overall, it was a really disappointing experience for a special occasion.
