    I met a friend to catch up over drinks and snacks. Our server was very patient as we kept talking and forgot to look at the menu for awhile. She adjusted her service style to accommodate us, but was still very aware of and on top of our needs. The ambiance was lovely -would love to check out indoors nest time_ and the food and drinks were really amazing!

    Our experience at Nido tonight was absolutely amazing! The service was excellent, and Holden went above and beyond to accommodate our friend’s dietary restrictions with thoughtful suggestions. The ambiance was perfect, setting the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable evening. Watching the sunset added a magical touch to the atmosphere, making the night even more memorable. A big thank you to the team for creating such a delightful experience—we can’t wait to return!

    I’ve never had a bad experience at The Well. The more I go, the more I love it! I came here for my birthday a while back. Loved it. I brought my pops who was visiting for his bday here for dinner on his bday. We truly enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and service. Edison is exceptional. We had a time constraint - pops had to catch a flight - and we shared that info with Edison at the beginning. Edison was so receptive, kind and focused, and timed the courses absolutely perfectly. He also communicated extremely effectively! The food was delicious, hot and fresh. Great wine, and great wine recommendation by Edison as well! From my heart, thank you, to the whole team, for your generosity and presence. Y’all helped make my dad’s special visit special, and I am so grateful for all of you. Much love!

    Absolutely incredible meal. My boyfriend and I had the Wagyu tartare, scallops, oysters, 35 day aged wagyu steak, fingerling potatoes, and buñuelo for dessert. The service was great, very knowledgeable and fast. They were very accommodating of my seafood allergy and were able to swap out sauces containing fish ingredients and modify dishes to have the seafood portion on the side so there would be no cross contamination. I can’t wait to go back to enjoy their wonderful menu again!
