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
