    Their happy hour is my favorite excuse to not cook dinner during the week. The Condesa margarita has to be my favorite cocktail in all of Austin, and my favorite weekday happy hour treat! The service here is always top notch, and the ingredients are always fresh!

    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!
