    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.

    It was a real cool place. The menu isn’t real big everyone just got steak frites around us but it was a great vibe and we enjoyed it a lot. Probably would come back

    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 :)
