    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!

    Booked a reservation but the didn’t seem to have it as they asked us to sit at the bar. There was no music playing so it was weirdly quiet. The food was all good, but we felt it was overpriced for what we were getting. The bar was busy so no fault on them but we definitely felt a strange vibe like no one cared we were there

    We had a great time at Well & Good celebrating our anniversary! The ‘braska buns were absolutely delicious as a starter. For our main courses, I ordered the seared salmon with a side of brussel sprouts and my partner ordered the good burger with a side of potatoes. It was great! The staff is super friendly and wished us a happy anniversary. We even got a chocolate espresso cake for dessert that said “Happy Anniversary”. We will definitely be back to try more of the dishes!

    The food and flavors are outstanding; I found myself going twice in the same weekend so I could try something different on the menu. The menu isn't extensive, but what they have is so good you'll be wanting to order the same choices again anyway. Nice atmosphere, doesn't feel like a "hotel restaurant" at all. Be patient when awaiting the arrival of your meal. It's not slow per se, but reflects the time necessary to prepare with fresh, locally farmed ingredients and present artfully. If you're a foodie and haven't tried Well & Good yet, you're missing out.
