My fiancé and I came here for date night and were so impressed! I started out with a matcha cocktail with vodka which was excellent, then some appetizers - the ceviche and tartare which were fresh and delicious, the main course we had their short rib special which was the best thing we had, and for dessert their mousse which was delicious as well. Service was fantastic and it was easy to make a reservation online. Definitely a great spot for date night! read more

Parents are in town and we're all health addicts so I had to bring them to The Well. Service was great, our waitress was patient with how slow we were ordering our dishes. We got a beet salad to share and i'm not a big beet fan, but there was a lot of arugula in this salad and the dressing was tasty! I got the chicken plate and the chicken was so juicy and perfectly seasoned. The bed of vegetables were quite salty but still delicious. My parents got the two fish and it was not dry at all, cooked to perfection! read more

Our server was so nice and gave great recommendations, very knowledgeable about the menu, as well as as each menu item. If you were looking for healthy, organic, non-GMO, free of dairy, corn, soy, ya know, or weird junk, this eatery is for you! With all of that said, everything we tried was delicious, flavorful, and well done. Best turmeric curry bone broth I've ever had, and so was everything else! read more

We have eaten at The Well 3 times and each visit gets better and better! The service is always on point and the food amazing. The mocktail menu is delicious and the desserts are tasty. I have several food allergies and feel luck to have found this establishment. read more

I will be coming back here! All the food was delicious and full of flavor. The Brussels sprouts were my favorite. You have to order them! The vibe is the restaurant is great for a date night. The restaurant is focused around healthy food and not using refined sugars and seed oils. Chelsea was our server and she did awesome! read more

Loved this restaurant outside of the service. The food was delicious. My friend has many restrictions that make eating out difficult and they had dairy/gluten free options that were delicious. This was exciting as it can be hard to find. Everything we had was incredible, including the drinks. The inside is beautifully decorated. Bathrooms were clean. The only downside was the service. We barely could get our waitress. She was standing talking at the bar quite a bit and then when she would make a round we would be in conversation and missed our chance to get her attention. At one point I had to get up to ask for water refills, as well as when we were waiting on our check. It was very frustrating and would make me think twice about going back. read more

Really sad to say I just had an extremely disappointing delivery experience with the Well via DoorDash. I ordered the steak sandwich, which I ordered via delivery just a month or two ago and absolutely LOVED back when I got it then. I remember it being packed with tons of steak, with amazing bread, and tons of flavor. I'm newly postpartum and breastfeeding so I wanted something with a ton of protein and flavor. This sandwich was a huge disappointment. There was literally one thin slice of steak on the entire sandwich and it was about 50% fat. It was also inedibly salty but lacked any flavor besides salt. The bread was also thin, cold, dense, and stale. The whole meal was borderline inedible and for almost $30, it's so so disappointing. Hoping this was just a fluke as I really appreciate their commitment to nutritious, quality ingredients. But for the price (and really any price...), this meal was a huge miss :( read more

Have come here a couple times now, usually for special occasions like birthdays or holidays. Phenomenal every time. I'm a huge health nut so I super appreciate places like this that serve truly clean food with clean ingredients. I just came here on Valentine's Day with my husband and it was lovely. The ambience is such a vibe, the staff is so friendly, and they even validate parking in certain parking garages! Which is a total life saver, especially when you're parking downtown. My husband and I love their Brussels sprouts, and we just got their fingerlings yesterday and we were blown away, omg. DELISH. I am vegetarian/vegan, so my options are slightly more limited but I am utterly obsessed with their pesto pasta! And so far, from the deserts I've tried (the avocado mousse and the cobbler), they're so clean and a total hit each time. The left feeling satisfied and full but not overstuffed, which is majorly appreciated. Oh and let's not forget NOT bloated (for all my sensitive digestion girlies out there). Highly recommend. This is one of my fav higher end restaurants. read more

Really classy and pretty and yummy. Great vegan options. The Well name doesn't make sense (something more botanical) but great food and decor! I went for dinner, pretty early but just missed happy hour apparently by seconds. Was expecting lots of other drink options from a place called "The Well". Very expensive - all apps, dinner meals did not include sides-they had to be added a la carte. Would've gotten something else had it also come with a side salad or veg but the Coconut Curry butternut squash was good. Lettuce wraps for appetizer had unseeded (seeds remaining) in raw, large slices of jalapeños and other hot peppers mixed in with the mixed grains. Should disclose what exactly is in mixed grains as some folks are allergic to quinoa. Generally kind of hard getting our waitresses attention as the night progressed. Should have $$$ to $$$$ instead of $$. read more

A great experience. I try and drop by the well whenever I am in Austin and it is worth the visit. It has a real cool atmosphere with a real modern feel. The Hibiscus martini was an excellent drink that was a perfect mix of sweetness and alcohol. The appetizers were great. The street corn was creamy without being greasy and the acid level was perfect. The brussles were also outstanding, the heat of the serranos with I think was balsamic was very good. I did the taco flight. The three tacos was mushroom & sweet potato, chicken and waygu. My biggest feedback was the steak could have been a little more moist and could have used a sauce and some crunch. The other 2 tacos were excellent. The service was great all night and served with a smile. Great stop if you a looking for a nice place with good food and good service. read more

We went here for dinner on a Saturday night and the service was great. The waiter was friendly and very helpful when explaining our options. We ordered the market fish ceviche, the new chicken, and the Texas wagyu steak frites. The ceviche had grapefruit for the citrus and coconut which made for a unique and very refreshing flavor. The chicken was organic and cooked sous vide style so it was very juicy and flavorful. It was in a bed of potatoes and leeks with kale and caramelized onion, all of which was drowning in a rich sauce. The steak is locally sourced and cooked to perfection. It came with a side of very crispy sweet potato fries and homemade ketchup. Although the wait for our food was a bit longer than we hoped, the food and ambiance were amazing. Would definitely go back and try all their other menu items! read more

We felt it was overpriced for what you get. The bread appetizer came with four tiny pieces, for $12. The steak with potato side was the best dish for sure, and the pesto pasta was good. Service and ambiance felt like one step above fast casual. read more

What a wonderful experience! I was truly impressed with the menu and the extraordinary flavors of each dish. For someone who struggles with autoimmune disorders and food allergies, this was a delightful treat to not have to worry about anything on the menu. The restaurant is calm and inviting, beautifully decorated, with outdoor seating. The food and drinks arrived in a timely manner, and everyone was pleasant while visiting our table. We will definitely be back very soon. Next date night! read more

The Well - Spinach pesto pasta - Gluten-Free Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have been to The Well 3 different times. The first time I left feeling like I just spent a lot of money on tiny little tacos. However, I went back recently and ordered the ceviche, steak frites, and pesto pasta. It was all very good. And you have to remember this is a very clean eating restaurant which I appreciate. For how clean the food is, the ambiance, and accommodating service I would recommend and have been back a third time last weekend. **they book up quick on weekends so make a reservation ** read more

We have dined at The Well on several occasions. The good is tasty and healthy. We've always had good service. The atmosphere is nice enough to dress up, but not so nice you can't wear shirts and a nice shirt. I like that the menu offers a choice of a full on entree with sides or just the protein if you prefer. read more

Very beautiful atmosphere, upscale and modern with warm lighting. A lot of healthy food options, gluten free options and you make customize as well. It is on the pricey side, but that's all Downtown Austin. If you're really hungry, I would visit another place. Great place for a quick snack stop! Everybody was very kind, though one thing that got us to think twice was the water cup placed outside for a dog. Though they had water bowls the server still decided to leave the cup on the floor, in which it's pretty unsanitary if they use those same cups for us. read more

I believe I had to high of an expectation of this place I agree with the other comments of hi end price point but the plate doesn't match Presentation of most of the plates are beautiful it's just the flavor / texture wasn't at five star Love the concept!! And really appreciate it,.. (thts hard to do in the restaurant industry especially with the oils) Eggs are beautifully cooked n delicious The Tacos flight was the very underrated item Wagu should be tender like butter this was extremely tough n was like jerky ,.. the chicken the same minus lacking flavor The sweet potato n mushroom fairly good except again no flavor The salsa was like tomatillos in water (like picante jar salsa) The tortillas were I will say really good n flavorful I saw everyone ordering the bone broth I should of gone with tht Or a smoothie seemed the other popular pick (I'd love to go back n try these two items) Beautiful clean decor very modern Booth seating does sit quite low (but comfortable) Parking : use the parking structure unless u r lucky n find street They do validating Customer Service: meh nothing overly inviting nor rude !! This is peanut free not NUT FREE !!! read more

First of all, The Well is decorated perfectly. It's so beautiful inside and very welcoming. Fits the vibe perfectly. First impressions left a lot to be desired with the hostess. She was not welcoming, pretty cold, and all around gave the vibe that she didn't want to be there. She was also sitting people right next to each other, at tables that are much too close to each other, when there were open tables just a few seats down. People were getting up and moving after she'd place them because you couldn't have a conversation with whomever you were with if the next table also were having a conversation. Our server was wonderful and gave good recommendations on what to order. The food was just mid. It wasn't bad, it wasn't the best, it tasted good but it wasn't anything I'm clamoring to go back to. As a person who eats gluten free because I medically have to, I was looking forward to the meal quite a bit, but the options were just very strange and mushrooms seemed to be in every dish (mushrooms gross me out). The crispy potatoes in the classic breakfast were AMAZING but very salty. In the end, will I be back? Yeah, probably but it won't be for breakfast/brunch. read more

The vibes were immaculate! This is the perfect spot for someone that is eating clean or has multiple food allergies or sensitivities. This is one of those places where they make healthy food taste really great. Portion sizes are on the small two medium size so if you're super hungry, be sure to order an appetizer. Most of the table order tacos I got the Chilaquiles, which were great! Our waitress was sweet and mainly speedy, but the restaurant was busy and took a little bit. Highly recommend this spot or if you're looking to dine in the second street area. read more

I come here at least once a quarter. I was here on a Monday late afternoon after some golf. The food is made well and my friend who has alot of allergies was able to find something that worked for her. I enjoyed the wagyu sirloin side which i paired with mushroom & sweet potato side. It was the perfect amount of food. We also got their apple crisp with a side of golden tumeric ice cream. The mini cast iron was really cute! Service was on point. The cafe closes at 4PM so if you want a smoothie, order it before then. I always get "The Chill". They also take InKind payment. read more

The Well has a strong commitment to using less additives and more quality ingredients as close as possible to the raw form. This is not common in dining and certainly a plus! I'm very intrigued by the commitment to real ingredients. Without a doubt, we will be back for the smoothies on days when we're needing some quick substantial fuel (the Recover has 27g of protein!) and when walking through downtown and in the mood for dessert (the avocado mousse was an exquisite delight). Flavors of the mousse included cacao, avocado, and pistachio, along with softly shaved coconut. Literally melts in your mouth. Our experience was less enthused by our dinner choices, and the ambiance was meh. The heat is strong during the summer, as anyone living in TX would know, and while we sat far from the door and patio (separated by closed doors), it was warm enough that we all found ourselves oddly sweating during our dining experience... The NY strip was underwhelming. The price did not align with the quality of the meat, as most of the cut was too chewy (from fat) and could not be enjoyed. Would not recommend. The pesto pasta was okay - did, indeed, taste free from unnecessary ingredients. Our server did share that the primary oil used is oil -- quality and anti-inflammatory! Due to the philosophy of the restaurant, we did return for a smoothie on the go the next day, and hope to enjoy different menu items in the future (different than these original choices). read more

Overall: The Well has good, healthy, clean food. I feel safe eating the food here. The service is average, to me. Good option if your looking for a filling and healthy meal. What I Got: - Chia Seed Pudding: This is your average chia seed pudding. Not overally sweet and has good toppings. - Vegan Chorizo Hash with Steak: I really enjoy this. The vegan hash is made out of lentils and not vegan meat. The meal is hearty and yummy without all the extra bad stuff that comes in food. read more

While preparing for my trip to Austin, I searched for healthy restaurants. The first one I found was The Well. As someone who doesn't like to consume seed oils, I was impressed with their philosophy and menus. I followed them on Instagram and was really excited to visit once I got there. After a long walk around Lady Bird Lake on my first morning in town, I showed up right as they were opening. I sat outside which had the coziest and most welcoming vibe. That was the day I had my very first experience with breakfast tacos, which I will never forget. I ordered the blue matcha as well. Amazing! I love that it wasn't too sweet and had a touch of monk fruit (not stevia like a lot of places. I cannot STAND the taste/aftertaste of stevia!) The breakfast tacos were heavenly, and you can absolutely taste the level of quality in the ingredients. It doesn't end there. The next morning, I was back! After going WAY too far on my morning walk in the hot sun, I was dizzy and out of breath. Thankfully, when Laura came out to greet me and take my order, she could tell I was completely out of it and brought me 2 carafes of water. That day I had the Revive smoothie, which was highly appropriate for the state I was in, and the avocado toast. Again, delicious and the quality was evident. I finished my brunch off with an americano that hit the spot. The food and service were great, and the people-watching that day was an added bonus. I sat outside for a while and no one seemed to mind. I've always lived in cities where I've felt rushed out of restaurants as soon as I was finished. Im respectful, and if the place is full, I'm not going to take up seat, but since it wasn't crazy busy, it was nice to relax and enjoy myself for a bit. On my last day in town, I had to stop by one final time for a golden milk latte. It was the perfect ending to a perfect trip. I cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed my experiences at The Well. If you're health-conscious and love really good food (and kind people), you MUST eat here. read more

Grab & Go smoothies + Yoga Studio! This kind of place aligns itself to be "too upscale" or uptight with its offerings and location.

Was recommended this place while visiting Austin with the wife since she had many dietary restrictions at the time. Would I come here if I was not health conscious? Probably not, but if you are looking for healthy options with good food that accommodates many dietary restrictions, I would definitely recommend The Well.

The food has been consistently good. I've come here a few times, though, and the coffee has tasted quite sour and under-extracted each time. It may be worth checking the calibration, as the shots seem to be running too fast. With a bit of dialing in, the coffee could really shine. read more

Stepping into this restaurant and it feels like an oasis. All I can say is Austin is not dissapointing me ...beautifully decorated and super duper healthy meals to choose from.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Austin! It's nice being able to order anything off a menu instead of having to check if it's gluten free, dairy free, etc. Everything I've tried has been delicious! I've gone for brunch and dinner and the menu for both is great. Some of my favorite dishes are their ceviche and bread and butter (gluten free and dairy free and SO delicious). Their dessert selection is amazing as well and I love that they have alcohol free drinks. Service is always great. Food comes out quickly and the waitstaff are so kind. The restaurant is very spacious and has a lot of seating. read more

Recently tried the Well to see what the hype is all about. I hate the parking situation if I'm honest as you have to get lucky and pay to park on the street, or find a nearby garage that will cost the same amount as your meal practically! The ambiance of the well is beautiful, very sleek, modern, and uplifting atmosphere with beautiful natural colors like light pinks, tans, and greenery which I loved. We walked in for lunch on a Friday and were sat right away. I ordered a blue matcha drink that was to die for (I'm still thinking about it) and an order of the chicken tacos which were also delicious. I loved that everything is sourced locally and sustainably. My only complaint was that everyone hyped up the bone broth and on a cold day I was thrilled to go and see what everyone was talking about & they were OUT! Not of one flavor either, of all of them! Seemed crazy to not be stocked up on your most popular item during the coldest week of the year. We also switched between two servers as well and I think they got mixed up because we paid the wrong tab and then were told our payments would be void and now we need to pay our actual tab - could've been better managed. Overall a delicious meal and will be returning-- hopefully for the broth next time! read more

The mushroom tacos were delicious. I had a blueberry tea, as well. The only thing I'd change is putting the tacos in two tortillas, instead of one. They were messy. I appreciate all the vegetarian options. The atmosphere was wonderful and airy. Our server was attentive and friendly. We had a great experience. Thank you. read more

I am obsessed with this place. I love how healthy it is and no seed oils is amazing! The pesto pasta is literally unbelievable I wish I could eat it every day read more

To sum this place up-- it's overpriced healthy aesthetic brunch food with terrible service. Ordered the potato hash dish with poached eggs. When the food came, the poached egg yolk was completely dry and overdone. Took a few minutes to get the waiter to notice. The kitchen staff or waiter decided to focus on other priorities instead of fixing my dish, and my refry poached eggs took so long I had already finished the rest of my plate (Mind you, the restaurant was not overly busy). Food itself was tasty after I got my dish fixed, but that lasted 2-3 bites since I had nearly finished. Our table also had one less silverware set than planned and we had to grab the extra set ourselves. Perhaps we should've tipped ourselves instead of tipping service, because this experience felt far below the standard of being 'served'. read more

Every - time - I -order - delivery - food - from - this - place - it - is - not - delivered - correctly. The latest disaster is an order that was missing a side pasta salad, and chicken that was so dry it was inedible. The pasta salad was on the receipt which was stapled to the bag. So some ding dong read the order, missed an entire pasta salad that should have gone into the bag, and then stapled the bag shut without it, and then went back to their iPhone to text their friends. The Well is operated by Nova Hospitality, which is headed by Jack Zimmermann. Hey Jack, I know training kids to correctly place food in bags sounds complicated, but it's not. Do yourself a favor, fire yourself from your business, go get an MBA in business management, and come back to run restaurants when you know how to train staff to stuff food in bags. I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because they do have other food, that they occasionally prepare correctly, that occasionally arrives in my food bag at home, that I like. Learn how to train staff and I will increase this to 4 stars. Learn how to not over cook food, and it might even be a 5 star review someday. Send me some offensive, brief, templated reply to this review, that asks me to call some 800#, because you claim to want to make things right, and this review will go to a 1 star. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS PURE AND HOLY, TRAIN YOUR STAFF! read more

The worst service I've ever had. Snobby kids who don't know anything about treating customers.

You can tell from the moment you walk in that this place is good for you. From the beautiful decor to the cozy booths to the clean ingredients and the large NA drink selection it's a cleanse for body and mind. Everyone is so nice and accommodating. Everything here is delicious and gluten free to boot. The pillow talk is my favorite NA cocktail, rich, slightly spiced and still refreshing. The mushroom tacos are done off the best tacos I have ever had and you have to save room for the golden milk ice cream dessert. I can't wait to go back. read more
