I absolutely love this unique find. The staff was very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The service was Swift and the food was excellent. A quaint little spot it was comfortable, and I quite enjoyed the music. Overall a great experience we didn't have any libation just the food and some water and everything was great. I highly recommend them as a restaurant. I'm not sure about the bar part, but going on what my experience was, I would imagine that's pretty good, too.

The food here is spectacular. Great atmosphere is well. Just get there 30 minutes ahead of tike if you are going during a busy hour because they are always packed and often have wait times of 30-45 minutes.Parking: There are plenty of spots on the street but on busy evenings there are sometimes not any spots. If so don't worry because there are parking lots only about 3 blocks away.

I had the local salad and the French onion soup, my husband had the mac & cheese with bacon, and both were happy. Each of us had a cocktail as well and they were good. However, we ordered the sliders to go for our son, cooked medium, and were very disappointed when we got back to our hotel room to see them cooked rare.

Good was great but we had to get it as take out because the staff seemed incapable of turning tables and providing accurate wait times.

Let me start by saying It’s a cute place with nice atmosphere. I went tonight for the first time with my fiancé. I really wanted a good steak dinner, so was excited to see a ribeye on the menu for $32. I saw the menu said no substitutions, but I decided to see if I could have mashed potato’s instead of fries with the steak. Typically, steak dinners are served with either mashed or baked potato. I was kind of surprised to see it was served with fish and meatloaf, but not a ribeye steak. The bartender informed me that I could not do mashed potatoes, which I really didn’t understand. I’m not complaining about the food or service, because the bartender was lovely, and all the food going past us looked great! This is more of a suggestion review…people want mashed potatoes with their steak! Unfortunately we left after having a drink and went to ablther local place where I had a delicious prime rib dinner with veggies, mashed potatoes and salad…for a fraction of the cost of the ribeye with fries. It’s unfortunate that our business was lost because of this.

I'm so glad I found this place. We are from out of town and were looking for a place for dinner after skiing. This restaurant was small but we got a table right away. The burgers were so good, and the martinis were excellent. Our server was very friendly and attentive. After we ate, we moved to the bar to finish our drinks. The bartender was very nice. Wish we lived closer because I would be back frequently!

Small place, but very popular. We enjoyed the atmosphere, service & food. My husband had a burger with lettuce, tomato, onion &, wait for it, peanut butter. He loved it.

I can only speak about late night bar stuff which was suitably excellent. Good crowd, good community. Good drinks.

Everything about this place was good. It’s a little tucked away but really cozy inside with some cool decorations. We got the Well Burger, the Mac N Cheese, and the Nachos and everything tasted delicious. There was also plenty left over to take home which is always a plus. Service was really fast and helpful even though the restaurant was full (on a Tuesday night). Overall everything was great and I have no complaints.Parking: There is a free parking lot behind the buildings and you walk around to the front to enter the restaurant.

We arrived (the wife & I) I walked in and went to the hostess station which was through the dining area just before the bar. I could see it was full so I asked the nice woman if I could put my name & # to get a call when a table opened. She replied “absolutely” I gave her the info and was told it would be about 15 or 20 min. After about 30 min we went back to the restaurant to see or something like that. I walked in and immediately noticed a gentleman at a table that wasn’t there before us but maybe he had reservations. I was standing at the hostess station and the help would walk by as if I was a lamp post. So I took the hint and waited outside the door. By the way the entrance way leads directly to dining area so if you wait inside you will be literally leaning over a patron trying to eat. So we waited outside. While we were standing there we could see through the window tables opening up. Customers started passing by us and my wife said “check it out I think they are gonna seat them” so I went in and literally heard the staff ask hi! Welcome how many? Oh great sit right here then again til finally I had to cut off the next guests and said politely “I thought we were gonna get a call?” The Woman looked at me with disgust and said oh I’m so sorry here’s a seat for you 2. Then our waitress came over giving me dirty looks and making me feel bad cuz they had it in their mind I was a jerk or something. Although I will say our waitress was good and I appreciate that but you could tell she had a dislike when she first came over thinking I would be a difficult customer but that eased when she realized everything was good as far as she was concerned. We left a 25% tip and departed.If the restaurant asks for a name and # why not call? This wasn’t unique to us because we heard another patron asking the same question waiting near us.The restaurant needs to do something for folks waiting. When we were eating patrons were lined up down the middle while customers are to the left and right inched from each other.

We stopped by The Well Restaurant and Bar today for a drink and a quick bite. And we are sure glad we did! Emily greeted us with a smile! She was our bartender and server as well. We ordered chicken tenders with Buffalo dipping sauce and the Go Greens salad with Ranch & Cesear dressings on the side. These were enough to share and everything was delicious!!! The 413 was a tasty blend of bourbon and apple cider. I cannot remember the beer, but it was tasty, too. The atmosphere was awesome with exposed brick and stone. The hanging lights were cool. Loved the Christmas decorations! Highly recommend! We look forward to going back there soon! Emily was the BEST!!! ?Wheelchair accessibility: Unfortunately you get to this restaurant by walking down stairs.

The wait staff is so friendly. Especially Kat, who was patient, skilled, considerate, and best of all hilarious. Food was great, we loved the Caeser salad especially. And the best sign of a good restaurant? AMAZING FRIES!
