    Great place-love the atmosphere and the giant booth for our family. Service was a little slow with drinks and food. Food was not very warm but it was very tasty. Feel like the prices were high for mid level service and warmish food. Would come back though for atmosphere and to try more things.

    Ashley, our waitress was a gem. She was friendly and gave us superb service. The salmon was cooked to perfection, exactly how I requested. The fruit tray was fresh and delicious. We are visiting from Texas and being away from the coast, I didn’t expect the salmon to be as fresh and tasty as in Houston. Bravo Well & Good. Everything was well & good.

    The service was almost nonexistent. It took forever to get a drink at the bar. Then it took a long time to get our table. And then once we got our table it took forever for somebody to even come talk to us. The pork chop was the best pork chop I ever had it was great. It is expensive. Which you would assume you have great service.

    My son and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Well & Good, and I must say, the experience was truly delightful. The menu boasted a diverse range of dishes, catering to various palates. We opted for their Pan Seared Salmon and the generous Grilled Half Chicken. The beautifully plated dishes along with the sides that came with it were both creative and harmonious, showcasing the chef's expertise. We really enjoyed the Butternut Squash & Ginger soup as well, garnished beautifully! The attentive staff members who were knowledgeable and prompt without being overbearing, allowing for a leisurely dining experience. I would like to note, we were not offered a non alcoholic menu which for future visits would be nice. I had hopes in trying some kombucha that was listed on a ONLINE menu, however they did not have it available during our visit. Well & Good provides not just a meal, but an immersive culinary journey. I appreciate the fact that they offer locally sourced meat, fish, produce, and dairy. Whether it's a special occasion or a desire for an elevated dining experience, this restaurant certainly lives up to its name, delivering flavors that truly delight.

    While searching for a place to eat we came across Well & Good. Knew nothing about it but as we are always looking for a new restaurant to try we made a reservation. So glad we did! The restaurant is beautiful inside with tables for groups of four and huge booths that could fit eight easily. The waitstaff was attentive and very pleasant. We both had the braised short rib which was huge and delicious. We ordered a salad which was bright and fresh. We had the chocolate fudge espresso cake for dessert and we’re very disappointed. While a pretty presentation, the cake was very dry and a bit tasteless- a shame for a $12 dessert. We will definitely return for dinner again, just not for dessert.

    The food here was very fresh and flavorful. Spouse and I shared the beet salad with salmon, wild mushrooms and the ribeye dinner which was all fantastic. Appreciate that they have lots of options for those who are avoiding high carb foods. Nice drink menu as well with considerable choice. Next time we have guests in town, this is where I will take them.

    I ordered short ribs and they were perfectly flavored and cooked. Loved the mashed potatoes and colored carrots and broccoli that came with the ribs. Again perfectly cooked with great flavors. Our waitress was around enough that we never wondered where she was - good service! Great wine list and we both got desserts. Delicious!

    This was our 2nd visit to Well & Good. Our first one was last year, soon after opening. Sadly, this restaurant has declined significantly since our last visit. The service was very slow and very poor. Had to send our appetizer back because it was not hot. The restaurant was not clean and had not been well taken care of. Tables are very close in proximity and seemed to be short staffed. Such a cool hotel, but won’t be eating at the restaurant again.
