    Our food was outstanding! Our table enjoyed appetizers (acorn squash and asparagus) and then the braised short rib, steak and frites, kale salad and the chicken sandwich. Everything on the plate had a purpose and was fantastic. We also had great service. Will be back!

    This was everyone's first time dining at this establishment. Everything about Well & Good from the atmosphere to the drinks to the food was impeccable. We got the duck wings which several people are our table really enjoyed as they were something different and fun compared to traditional wings. The Nebraska Buns, unfortunately, fell short and weren't a show-stopper by any means . Everyone's entrees were delicious from all areas of the menu: pasta, salmon, special baseball steak, and short ribs. I could not believe how wonderfully the baseball steak was cooked to a perfect medium well. The price for locally sourced ingredients and the skill put into the entrees was well worth it. Service was impeccable and we couldn't have asked for better. We will definitely be coming back to Well & Good.

    The chicken schnitzel sandwich’s that we all thought would be great, was extremely disappointing. Chicken was cut nicely, although we all felt it was way overcooked. The potato cuts were great !! And the slaw was very bland.

    My wife enjoyed her salmon. I on the other hand was not a fan of the Bolognese sauce with my bucatini - tasted more like a vegetable beef stew than a pasta sauce. Had I known, I would've selected something else and likely scored the food higher. Additionally, my iced tea tasted more like coffee than tea. The service was excellent and you can't go wrong with Dairy Store ice cream. Overall, I want to give it another try to see if another entree is more to my taste

    Really disappointed that I could not substitute a side vegetable for the one prescribed in the menu for my $34 entree. Our server said the chef would not allow it. Good luck with that. We tired of the server's use of the word, "perfect." Grated on us after the first three or four times. And has the practice of serving the female diner of a mixed couple first been done away with? In making our reservation through OpenTable boxes were provided to indicate special occasions. As we were dining to celebrate my wife's birthday I checked that box. What it got us was a "Happy Birthday" from our server. Not very special. I think we just expected more than what we got for a $130 meal, including tip.

    The menu was new, so it was different from the website. The website should be up-dated to match the menu. This made a difference in our meal selections. This also made a difference in the price expectation. The parking for the restaurant was very convenient using the valet, but we would not have known how to park if we hadn't received this information from a friend. Parking procedures and places and cost need to be explained on the website and signage provided at the restaurant location.

    This restaurant was SO good. Of course the environment is beautiful since it's a newer space, but the staff was incredible and so kind, and the food was delicious. We enjoyed a dinner celebrating a birthday and it was the perfect spot for great food, ambience and drinks. Definitely recommend getting a scoop or two of the UNL Dairy Store ice cream too.

    Enjoyed a delicious New Year’s Eve meal with friends. The food was beautifully prepared and presented, service was attentive but not intrusive and atmosphere quite lovely. My only complaint was that we were seated right by the kitchen/serving area when there were ample other less trafficked table options available.

    So outstanding! From the moment we arrived, every person was most helpful and friendly--the doorman was the best one I have ever encountered, other staff members were attentive and helpful, our waitress was so friendly and one of the very best we have ever had, the food was mouth-watering delicious, our order came out quickly, and it was a most delightful choice for our 50th wedding anniversary on December 23, 2022. I wish I had gotten the names of everyone so I could write a personal letter to their supervisors for the very excellent meal we enjoyed! Highly recommend if you have not tried this restaurant! Unfortunately it was a bit too chilly for the rooftop, but we will return! 10 STARS! Thank you all so much!

    This was my first visit to Well & Good but will not be my last. Beautiful interior, comfortable seating. Our waiter was outstanding! He was able to keep track of shared plates, shared wine, shared desserts and managed to get all 7 checks correct when we were ready to leave. The food was superb, well prepared and came out of the kitchen fairly soon after we ordered. Highly recommend!

    I was part of a group of 5. Our server, Michael, was very attentive and had good suggestions regarding the menu. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We had duck wings for an appetizer, and I whole heartedly recommend them! The pork chop I had was maybe the best I have ever had in a restaurant. Great atmosphere--nice but not snooty, not too quiet or too noisy. Loved the entire experience!
