PHENOMENAL FOOD! I was scared that everything would be bland and tasteless when I saw the gluten free, dairy free etc., but NOPE! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING we ordered was fresh, delicious, light, yet filling. I got the Social Butterfly drink which had butterfly pea powder in it to make it purple. It was as delicious as it was pretty. All the cocktails sounded amazing, I can't wait to go back and try them all. For starters we got the Guacamole, Brussel Sprouts and Crispy Macha Potatoes. Each of these were executed to perfection. The guacamole was fresh, topped with pomegranate seeds and well seasoned. The chips that came with it were light, crispy and it was gone in a flash! The Brussel Sprouts were cooked perfectly...tender and flavorful...not greasy...literally the best I've ever had. The Crispy Macha potatoes were next level!!! I have no idea how they make them, but they were SOOOOOO GOOD!!! I got the Waygu Sirloin as my main course and my friends got the Coconut Curry Squash. I enjoyed my steak and my friends liked their dish as well. We also shared the Roasted Beet Salad, which was fresh and tasty. Overall, can't wait to go back! 10 out of 10!!! read more

The Well - Social Butterfly - Gluten-Free Near Me - Austin, Texas

I wanted to like this restaurant, but they made it hard to do. We started off with the guacamole. The pomegranate seeds on top were a nice touch, but man, this was flavorless. It was painfully boring. We had our 6-year-old, who is head of the Picky Eaters Society, so we ordered bread with butter. This 6-year-old, who eats bread on the daily, took one bite and wouldn't eat any more. We even get gluten-free bread regularly, and he eats it. The bread was fine, but don't expect flavor. By some miracle, they even made butter tasteless. I considered calling the Vatican to see if this was some holy, divine miracle, but my wife suggested maybe the main course would be better. We settled on the pesto pasta with chicken added for an additional fee. The pasta was good. Great texture, good flavor, and the combination of ingredients was good, but it's nothing original. It's pesto pasta. It's a classic. I appreciate the pomegranate seeds on the guacamole because it's original, it's clever, and it's different. We also ordered a special soda drink for our son, and it had a small black bug on top. I had them take it back and replace it. I kind of expected a "Listen, we apologize for the bug. Here's half off dinner," or something, but nothing. Service was fine, and it's a decent atmosphere. If you're looking for a place to sit and talk it's a great place, but if you want food or a drink go somewhere else. read more

I wrote The Well off a long time ago when I tried it for dinner and just didn't dig it. How wrong I was! I realized that the place has some of the healthiest and best tasting food in Downtown. Sure, you're paying the Downtown premium, but sometimes you just gotta. A $15 protein shake is kind of ridiculous, but damn is it good. And the staff are all really great as I had a few weird scenarios come up during payment and they handled it with grace. read more

I wanted to love this place so bad. The vibes on the patio are amazing and service was fine. However the food and portions for what you're paying I would much rather go to local foods, true food, or flower child to get the same quality of ingredients and "healthy" going out vibe, since those actually taste good. The protein pancakes were very disappointing and my friend even says she can make better ones at home. They just tasted like they came from a kodiak pancake mix, nothing special. The chicken caesar wrap was very small, there was hardly any chicken and the croutons were not crunchy, they were just dense and not enjoyable to eat. The spritz was very refreshing and enjoyable. I might be back to try their steak and eggs because I heard that's good. read more

Went here for a Saturday lunch without a reservation and it was busy. We were able to sit at the bar easily and got great service. The place has a very cool esthetic. The food was amazing. I wish I could have ordered more. Lots of things I want to try in the menu but the steak and eggs were cooked perfectly. It is exactly what you need for a mid day post workout protein meal. I will definitely suggest this place. read more

The Well - Grass-Fed Steak & Eggs - Gluten-Free Near Me - Austin, Texas

Was so grateful and excited there was a seed oil free and gluten and dairy free restaurant in the area!! That is rare. So I had to try! Met up with friends who hadn't seen in a few months. Made reservations a week or two ahead and there were plenty of times to choose from. We sat outside as it was a decent day to do that. They do have heat lamps if need be but we didn't need those. Even though it was outside it still felt private. I ordered the salted caramel macchiato and the chicken pecan salad sandwich which came with an arugula salad. The coffee was ok. I was hoping to like the flavor more. But that could just be me as I don't drink coffee and when I do it's usually sugary coffee. This one is obviously healthy so that could be it. Still, I expected more. But the sandwich and salad made up for it!! I read mixed reviews about the sandwich and was hesitant to order. But I would get it again it was soooo good!! Filling, not heavy yet didn't feel hungry after. The salad was surprisingly amazing. It had a vinaigrette that was very delicious. I went on a Saturday during brunch. Was hoping to be able to order regular tacos but they only offered breakfast tacos. So would love to come back when it isn't brunch. The interior was beautiful as I had to walk inside to use the restroom. The restroom was tiny though. We were piled in there waiting for 3 stalls to become open. Could use a bigger bathroom for an establishment that busy. But the interior decor was absolutely breathtaking! Such a vibe! Will definitely be back. Can't wait to take my hubby and my sister who loves eating healthy as well. Ps. Would really love to see nutrition facts on the menu. Knowing the macros seems to be pretty commonplace with people now days. And probably more so with people who choose to dine at The Well. Please put those on the menu!! :) read more

Always love picking up my lunch here. Staff is nice and good is fresh. Decided to try their avocado mousse and the ingredients look great but it wasn't my favorite when it comes to taste. The chicken grain bowl however was amazing in every way. The flavor, the freshness, the texture and the dressing. I can eat this everyday. They also offer cold pressed juice, shots and made to order smoothy but I didn't try it this time. read more

I can't believe I haven't been here sooner!! The Well has been on my radar, but when I was attending a show at ACL Live during SXSW, this was the perfect opportunity. I was with a friend that is vegan and I suggested here for dinner. We looked at the menu and agreed to try it! We shared the Thai Lettuce Wraps V $15: local mushroom, organic, mint, organic wild grain trio, ginger, fresno and organic jalapeno, local gem lettuce, cashew. They were SO flavorful and delicious, however 4 small lettuce leaves were not enough. We asked for more and got 4 more small leaves, which they charged us $2 for. I do think that's a bit crazy. I would order this app again though! We each tried the Coconut Curry Squash for dinner- V $22 - local seasonal squash medley, seasonal bell pepper, heirloom cherry tomato, pepitas, sesame seeds, organic heirloom grain trio. I didn't know the grains would be so similar to the lettuce wraps, so next time I would get one or the other. I loved this curry though - WOW. It tasted like fall. So fresh and delicious. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. I had a glass of garnacha and my friend had a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. My glass was $15 on the menu but I was charged $17 on my bill. Prices are super high for the portion size, but the food was so delicious I will definitely go back. Beautiful restaurant conveniently located right downtown on 2nd st. read more

Location was in the heart of a very active vibrant area. We were seated at the bar top table area. Energetic ambience. Service was marginal for our seating. Chicken lettuce wraps were not good. I would not recommend. Beet salad was very tasty and enough for more than one person- good to share. Steak frites were very good. Salmon was also an excellent choice for entrée. Overall, it was very good, but just not great. read more

For those who are health-conscious, The Well is definitely one to add to your list. Created by the culinary director behind Devil May Care and TenTen (Jon Oh) and a nutritional consultant (Liv Langdon), the menu is entirely non-GMO, soy-free, refined-sugar-free, and easily modifiable. I wouldn't say the food was bad, but the flavors were a bit one dimensional and missed marks due to the emphasis on clean ingredients. The menu is on the smaller side, so we stuck with light bites and drinks. We ordered the Market Fish Ceviche, the Texas Wagyu Beef Tartare, and the Beet-Cured Salmon Sashimi. The ceviche felt too diluted and lacked the creaminess I was expecting. The tartare had good flavor but tasted a bit like a salty burger, which made it oddly addictive. The Salmon Sashimi was a bit more familiar in flavor, as it reminded me of a Salmon lox on a crostini. Since I was on a health kick for the night, it only felt right to end with a wellness shot-- a wellness shot that is-- and ordered the High 5 (carrot, pineapple, ginger, turmeric, and lemon) which was perfect--spicy (ginger), yet refreshing. read more

Went to The Well for dinner with friends and it was such a wonderful experience. I ordered the sustainably sourced salmon, which was served on a bed of organic spinach and kale, and it was absolutely delicious. The salmon was cooked perfectly. It was tender, flavorful, and seasoned just right. What I really love about The Well is the thoughtful menu. Everything is gluten- and dairy-free, and there are so many vegan options, which makes it a great place for groups with different dietary needs. It's not easy to find a spot that feels both health-conscious and indulgent at the same time, but this place nails it. The ambiance is also beautiful. It's warm, modern, and inviting. It's the kind of place that works equally well for a casual dinner with friends or a slightly more special night out. I'll definitely be going back and can't wait to try more of the menu. read more

The Well - Sustainably-Sourced Salmon - Gluten-Free Near Me - Austin, Texas

The ambiance is moody and the decor is modern and chic. The Well boasts hand painted artwork on its walls and a comfortable space to enjoy a meal. I had the Blues on the Green cocktail. The blue corn salt went perfectly with the drink. It was refreshing. We started with the aguachile. It was fresh, the citrus paired well with a kick of peppers. I had the pasta bolognese for my entree. The pasta was a bit hard but the bolognese was savory and seasoned perfectly. It was a hearty meal. The portion was large. The service was a bit slow but I would definitely return to The Well to try other menu options. read more

This place does healthier whole foods so well! Everytime I've come I've enjoyed my meal so finally decided to write a review after coming here for brunch - we hadn't made a reservation but thought we'd just walk in even though it was a Sunday and altho we got quoted 45 mins I'm glad we sat and waited because we were seated within about 5-6 mins! We both ordered their wellness juices - I loved the high 5! For food we got the potato & "chorizo" (vegan) hash (added an egg) which was delicious flavor wise but deducted a star for not being served hot or even warm. We also got the steak & eggs which was delicious and a huge portion which makes the price worth it. Don't hesitate to come here - great flavors and love the ambiance. read more

The Well is super aesthetic and really pretty inside -- definitely one of those Instagram-worthy spots. It says casual, but I felt a little underdressed showing up in leggings and a jacket. The service was great though, no complaints there. The menu is all about being healthy -- dairy-, gluten-, and soy-free -- which I think is awesome in theory, but the food itself just didn't blow me away. It was good, but honestly felt like something I could make at home. For the prices, I was hoping for a little more flavor and excitement. I like bold, rich flavors, and this spot felt a bit too mild for me. I get why it's popular -- it's super pretty and has a good vibe for groups after work or weekend brunch -- but it's just not really my vibe. read more

The Well - Coconut Curry Squash - Gluten-Free Near Me - Austin, Texas

A great spot when you want to be both health conscious and out and about! The food is all very tasty and you never leave feeling uncomfortable. We went for a coconut squash curry which I thought was going to be more curry like but instead it was quinoa based with a sauced poured over the veggies, was delish anyway. I opted for the side of 6 oz sirloin steak so I could select my own veggies and went with brussels and a cauliflower kale. I ordered medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. Service was excellent, both fast and friendly. We sat outside, warmed by heat lamps and under the string lights. There is parking validated at a garage nearby @ 157 Guad. read more

Really enjoyed my dinner here at the well. Known for their clean food, I was excited to try a hearty dish, especially since it was freezing outside. I order the curry with quinoa and vegetables. It was delicious! I wish I had more curry but this dish was filling. I also order the beet mocktail. It was tart, sweet, the perfect addition to my meal. Really appreciated my questions being answered by our server about specific dishes and recommendations. read more

It's so rare to find a seed oil free restaurant nowadays so I'm so grateful for the Well. Consequently, the prices are high- and most of the menu items it's additional high up charges for adding protein. The sourdough was $12 . However I ordered the salmon and although the protein portion was very small, it was cooked perfectly- crisp and tender on the inside. My friends Caesar salas however came with zero dressing which was a bit odd. If you're willing to splurge for a tasty (overpriced) treat, then grab the overnight oats from their cafe section inside. It's DELICIOUS! read more

First of address the fact that yes this place is a little bit of the price your side. But this is absolutely a case of paying for what you get This place was good enough that on my last trip to Austin I went back multiple times, and I prioritized going during last week's trip. Their bone broth is some of the best I've ever had. It's absolutely amazing plane and then this time I got it with the coconut curry added which was also delicious. Also got the beat salad which hit perfectly and everything was super fresh I'd have to go back into the archives to see what myself and my friends got the last time but we did family style and literally not a thing wasn't amazing I also gotta add that as someone with Gut health issues, it was so good to eat out and not feel loaded afterwards because everything here is so clean read more

Came back to the infamous Well today for brunch, and the food just reminded me how much I love this place! It's always a great feeling to know that you're eating food that is non-GMO and cooked with non-seed oils. I'm basic and went with the Classic Breakfast menu item today because it provided a bit of everything that I needed: protein, greens, some healthy fats with the avocado, and some gluten-free toast (that had a nice, crispy texture on the outside). The vibes here include a mix of casualness and modernness for any kind of occasion -- we literally showed up right after a workout class haha. Service was quick and attentive and you can use your inKind app here in case you have that app! :) read more

My boyfriend and I headed to The Well for Sunday brunch, and it was a solid choice. It was pretty busy--lots of groups of friends, couples, and people just enjoying their Sunday--but the vibe was chill. The inside is fresh and modern, but we opted to sit on the patio, which was awesome for people-watching while enjoying the rare good weather in Austin. We kicked things off with the roasted garlic hummus appetizer, which was vegan and seriously good. It came with crispy chickpeas, Aleppo pepper, charred lemon, and a drizzle of olive oil. The veggies they served with it were super fresh and crunchy, which was a nice balance to the creamy hummus. For my main, I had the Potato & Chorizo Hash, and it was a real winner. The chorizo (vegan, of course) was so flavorful, and the mix of sweet potato, kale, squash, and golden beets was really filling. The ginger pepper sauce tied it all together perfectly--it was hearty but still felt like a healthy choice. My boyfriend went with the Breakfast Tacos, which came with scrambled eggs, avocado, cilantro, salsa verde, and lime on organic corn tortillas. He was able to add bacon to them, and enjoyed them overall. Only downside? They were only serving the brunch menu when we went, so we couldn't try any of the dinner options. Overall, great spot if you want something filling, flavorful, and a little bit healthier than your usual brunch spot. Definitely want to come back for their dinner menu! read more

I love the vibe at The Well--the space is beautiful, super-Instagrammable, and you can tell they care about aesthetics. That said, I wasn't impressed by the actual food. Got the burger from the HH menu (comes in a gluten free bun, part of their 'healthy' branding), and honestly--it tasted like... gluten‑free. Bland, dry, not enjoyable. And gluten free is NOT actually healthy, it just tastes bad. We also tried the chicken lettuce wraps (also from the HH menu), thinking they'd be flavorful--but they had zero seasoning. Just plain, sad chicken in lettuce. Lastly, I got the bone broth, which wasn't bad and actually is healthy (the main reason I got it). Service was also really slow, we had to literally go to the host stand to ask for our check since the server rarely came over to check in or see if we were done and wanted the check. read more

Honestly, one of the best Bloody Marys in Austin. The food is amazing here and safe for many allergies and diets. My celiac friends love coming to a place to enjoy the best foods that normally aren't gluten free. Their Cesar chicken wrap, pancakes, and pasta are some favorite options! read more

I got the steak sirloin and Brussels sprouts - both were delicious. The sea salt on the steak was particularly delightful. A very tasty touch that enhanced the flavor. My only critique is that the steak was too tough for a medium well. My friend got the fingerling potatoes and they were great - soft on the inside and perfectly crisp on the outside. I would definitely recommend. The interior of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful. They also validate parking, which is SO helpful and appreciated in downtown. read more

The Well reminds of LA restaurants, full of greenery and healthy food options. My expectations of this place is very high from how it looks to what my friends tell me. Maybe it's what I ordered but it fell short of flavor for me. I ordered the avocado toast but it was bland. I had leftovers and the avocado the next day was still green - how?! I need the secret. I'll definitely have to try this place again but definitely don't recommend getting the chicken salad. read more

If I could give it less than 1 star I would. My husband and I sat at the bar. I asked the server "how is the mushroom medley?" His response "I don't know". Hmmm that was it. We each ordered a drink. Mine took 10 minutes. Mind you there is no one else at the bar! I took a sip, it was horrible. I told my husband to taste it. The bartender heard me and said is it terrible? I said yes it's horrible. He said yes that was sitting out a while I wasn't sure. Are you kidding me!!! Never will we will be back. Bad service overpriced average food! read more

We came because we need 100% gluten free. No seed oils are a bonus. Arrived on a Wednesday night around 6:30. Place was busy. Was given the options of sitting on a couch outside, at the bar or wait 30 minutes for a table. We opted for the bar. Bartenders were nice. One nicer than the other. Wife had a hibiscus martini and that was amazing. I had a beer and whiskey. The first whiskey one bartender poured seemed short. But it was in a rocks glass neat, nonissue. The second whiskey i ordered from the other bartender was more accurate. I actually watched him pour it with a shot glass aid. Food was amazing. Steak perfect. Oh my god the brussel sprouts!!! Spinach pesto pasta salad. All great. Foot atmosphere. Moderate noise. People dressed casual and nice. Will definitely go back. read more

If you're looking for a spot that screams effortlessly boho chic with a menu that backs it up--Well is it. The vibe inside? Light, airy, and oh-so-Austin. Think rattan chairs, earthy tones, and plants that look better hydrated than me. Now let's talk food: I had the chilaquiles and I'm still dreaming about them. Probably one of the best I've ever had--and that's saying something. It was a lighter, healthier version with this rich, nutty pecan mole that brought everything together beautifully. Comfort food with a clean twist. Also tried the blue matcha, and wow. I've had my fair share of matchas, but this was on a whole other level--smooth, slightly sweet, and visually stunning. Other dishes on the table were the Classic Breakfast (a solid pick) and the Mezcal Sunset, which brought some fun flavor to the mix. Definitely a place I'd return to for a chill brunch or to impress out-of-towners with Austin's wellness-forward food scene. read more

The Well is a trendy downtown Austin spot with a beautifully decorated interior. I went for brunch and started with the ceviche: salmon in a coconut-citrus sauce served with blue corn chips. It was fresh and tasty, but clearly meant as an appetizer rather than a full meal.

Visiting in town for our anniversary, looking to see a little bit of Austin. We searched for "Gluten Free Austin" places to eat and THE WELL was highly recommended. So we rolled the dice because - as any GF person knows - the fact that a place is advertised as "gluten free/friendly" often has little to do with reality. So let me say up front: THIS place is the REAL thing. What a WONDERFUL dining experience. The ambience was bright, artsy and appealing. Our server was Laura and she was friendly and well informed about the place. We ordered the Chicken Salad Wrap, the Chicken Salad Sandwich, the Beet Salad, and the Crispy Brussels Sprouts. The sandwich and wrap were both delicious, and obviously similar. I preferred the sandwich over the wrap, my wife preferred the wrap. It's a win either way. The Beet Salad was a step above both of those in my book - fresh, light, tasty - easily could be a meal all by itself. The starring role in this meal was the Crispy Brussels. Let me say up front - they were NOT crispy. BUT that is NOT a criticism. They were well cooked, seasoned perfectly, with a balsamic glaze and other bits and pieces. Just DELISH. I wanted to lick the bowl. In my heart I did. Twice. If you're looking for a great meal - especially if you're GF - put this at the top of your list! read more

I have endometriosis and it's an uphill battle to find restaurants that don't use inflammatory seed oils. So grateful my partner introduced me to The Well!! Not only are their food and drinks flavorful but their menu items are also free from gluten, seed oils, dairy, and refined sugars! I wish I'd taken pictures of the food I've tried here but most recently tried their Blue Matcha Latte which was refreshing and reminded me subtly of Cinnamon Toast Crunch (without all those harmful ingredients lol) The service here is also very friendly and the looks of the place is super aesthetic!

Wow my entire meal was dairy and gluten free and delicious!? I love this place! They also offer some great vegetarian options too. We started with the guacamole that I loved. The chips were so good and loved the pomegranate seeds on top. Ordered the taco flight and each taco was awesome, each with so much flavor. The salmon and Brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly. Love how you can order a lot of things a la carte so you can kind of make your own plate. They also have a great happy hour that I can't wait to come back and try. Inside is pretty upscale, and there's also an outside patio with a little more of a casual vibe. This is a great spot downtown for a healthy filling meal. read more

We came in from out of town and chose this restaurant above all others to try out and it was quite disappointing. It took 15 minutes for the hostess to seat us even though there was no wait. It took another 15 minutes to get a server to take our drink order and then almost 20 minutes to receive our beverages. After receiving our beverages, it took another 20 minutes for a server to come over and take our order and they were not that busy considering half of the tables were empty and it was 3:45pm. I ordered the chicken Caesar wrap as I had seen it on the lunch menu but they said lunch was over and it was now dinner. Really? At 3:45? Since the Caesar salad was on the dinner menu as well as tacos which obviously involve tortillas, I asked if they could just simply make the wrap anyway and the chefs declined. Once again, really? Kind of ridiculous. So OK, I ordered the chicken Caesar salad and honestly, it was subpar. Nothing special about it. Definitely won't be coming back. This spot was a huge disappointment. read more

Visited Austin Texas for vacation and tried this place out because I saw a foodie I follow post this strawberry guac. I was on a mission to get this during my tried and it was so worth it.

The Well - Strawberry Guacamole - Gluten-Free Near Me - Austin, Texas

My spouse was in town for a conference so I had plenty of time to explore downtown. Before arriving I looked for gluten-free restaurants and discovered The Well was within walking distance. As someone with multiple food sensitivities (gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, and corn) the fact that the restaurant was gluten and dairy free was exciting. Edison was my server and made sure to let me know what foods I would have to ask for substitutes for for corn. The restaurant offers cassava tortillas for an additional charge for their tacos, and the chips served with the ceviche were grain free. I started with the ceviche and had the chicken for my main course. The portions were generous and I wound up taking half the chicken back with me. I ordered a side of bread and butter to go, but ate a piece while waiting for dessert because it was still warm. The bread was crusty outside and soft inside, like a traditional sourdough. Not crumbly at all. I chose the peach crisp with coconut ice cream for dessert. It had a nice cinnamon flavor and wasn't too sweet. As a single diner without a reservation I was seated on the patio. I hesitated for a minute because I am not accustomed to 98°F, but the patio was shady and there was a light breeze which made things comfortable. I am so glad I made the time to eat at The Well. Just knowing that everything was gluten free was such a relief. (Edison even mentioned that no gluten containing products are allowed in the restaurant, so there is no risk of cross-contamination.) read more
