    I’m here once a week for either brunch or dinner and it’s always great. This time I brought out of town coworkers who have never been to The Well. They loved the Wagyu tacos, chicken and bolognese dishes. Always enjoy the vibe. I had an Old Fashioned and it was excellent.

    I’m not a vegetarian or vegan but this food was wonderful! I would absolutely eat there again. The menu does include chicken, salmon, and beef but I was with a vegetarian friend so we shared the sweet potato and mushroom asada tacos, the rotini pesto and the mushroom and quinoa lettuce wraps with jalepeno, mint, and lemon. The hibiscus martini was really good too! We are next to Woody Harrelson so apparently he likes the food too:)

    Thanks for the review, Kathy! We're thrilled to hear that you and your friend enjoyed your meals. It's great to know that our sweet potato and mushroom asada tacos, rotini pesto, and hibiscus martini all hit the mark for you! We look forward to welcoming you back to The Well soon :)

    Love that the entire menu is GF and all the other “free ofs” offerings… we sat right away and were offered coffee or drinks. Only thing was on a Monday morning after marathon Sunday, they were out of the bone broths so that was a bummer! But the chicken salad sandwich was excellent.
    The WellResponded on 18 February 2025
    Hi Wendy, Thank you so much for your 5 star review! We're glad you found your visit enjoyable, and we're sorry to hear we ran out of bone broth before you could order it. We hope this won't be an issue next time you join us!
