    Two in our group waited 20 minutes after others were served to receive their dinners, with just a casual apology. Returned to this restaurant for the pesto pasta which was great last time, but not enjoyable on this visit. Beautiful restaurant but not a great experience this time.

    Everything was absolutely unique and delicious! Had wagyu tacos, pesto/chickpea pasta, brussel sprouts, lettuce wraps and pasta bolognese. Also desserts sooo good. Service impeccable. Only complaint is serving sizes were normal which meant no left overs and was pricey.

    The food was incredible and the service was fantastic. We were there for brunch and had the pancakes, breakfast tacos and steak and eggs along with the delicious Revive smoothie. They use all the healthiest ingredients. We ended up eating here several times over a long weekend. Every meal was flavorful and vibrant. We literally kept going back the Well.

    Service was excellent and overall food was good. The avocado mousse for dessert tasted too much like banana and not enough cacao.

    Terrible experience. On a Tuesday evening at 8 pm they ran out of two vegetarian options, that leaves only one item pasta which was super oily. My throat still hurts with the oily pasta. Also made this reservation for bday celebration and specified in the reservation as well but the server didn’t acknowledge or made any special effort. Also the server had attitude and came across rude
    The WellResponded on 11 December 2024
