- JJevonAustin •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoWe 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.More infoThe WellPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.7
