Delicious and healthy food served in a beautiful ambiance. The staff is lovely too. My favorites include Nine Goddess Curry Vegetables, Caulirice and the Tree Hugger Sandwich.

I’ve been here for lunch many times. It’s a great spot for a business lunch or to catch up with a friend. The staff is generally nice and the ambiance is relaxed. It is what id imagine a floor level New York spa cafe would be.The cauliflower fried rice with braised chickpeas is my go to order. The quality of the ingredients is great.But the prices are exorbitantly high. I suppose that is indicative of the location and the attention to quality of ingredients but it’s a bit ridiculous to be paying $50 for a small bowl of shredded cauliflower and tea…Probably won’t go back. Which is unfortunate because they really had promise.

Pretty good, healthy food. Some of the dishes are pretty underwhelming for the price.

The Well has a great aesthetic, with a bright, cute, and relaxing feel. I came for Saturday brunch. The food was clean, healthy, and just filling enough. It's on the pricier side but it isn't too unreasonable. I really enjoyed the Tree Hugger sandwich on sourdough, which is a vegan sandwich with your choice of bread. It has avocado, cucumber, radish, carrots, sprouts, tomato relish, and hummus. I sometimes worry that vegan sandwiches with just veggies will be boring, but this one was flavorful and came with a side of salad greens too. I think the tomato relish added a lot of flavorful and complimented the other vegetables well. I definitely felt nourished after this meal and would probably order the same thing if I came again! I will say the service was slow and inattentive, as other reviews have mentioned.

Just paid $30 for a chicken sandwich to be told I can’t work from my laptop at my table because it’s a “mental wellness center”Meanwhile every person around me is doomscrolling on TikTok on their phone. Absolute nonsenseMy server also didn’t check in on me once after placing my order, even though I needed napkins and sauce for my overpriced sandwich. Really great for mental wellness ?

It’s such a wonderful space and I feel so privileged to have come across it. All of the staff are so wonderfully friendly and made me feel really welcomed and special… I’ve felt very alone in the city and unsafe but The Well made me feel so nurtured and safe when I was feeling really wobbly and low. I can’t recommend this place enough, whether you want to go for the classes, the food or just the space, The Well picked me up when I needed it the most.

Unfortunately just like many other comments explain, the service is horrible. I was planning on getting the membership and decided to try the restaurant first. We waited over 20mim to place our order and the server never came. Two other tables arrived after us, not only they order but they also got their food before the server returned.

I came in for a nice brunch to treat myself and I was enjoying my food until the manager screamed at me “you don’t belong here peasant, look at those clothes, don’t you see you are too poor for this establishment you sad soy worm of a woman?!” I felt so disrespected and honestly the worst experiences of my life. Don’t go here.
Idek where to begin. Victoria or Vanessa, whatever the managers name is was nothing but pure atrocious. I was just trying to have a lovely treat for myself and my spouse as this hefty women comes over to proclaim me and my wife as Spicks(not a nice word for a Hispanic). As me and my wife looked at one another in utter disbelief we proceeded to tell her that her food that she served us was beyond horrendous(not only presentation wise but there was several hairs and fingernail clippings in our plates). She then proceeded to baffle me and my wife by screaming at us and telling us to leave the restaurant immediately. Could not believe the atrociousness we received in a restaurant, I thought only customers acted like children but ig I was wrong. Would never eat here again.

The food is good and yummy but oy vey the service is horrendous. Had to ask to order after sitting there for 15 minutes. Had to ask for water. It took a long time to get the nourish bowl and Buffalo chicken bowl we ordered. Had to keep getting up to ask for more water, to order dessert and even to get the check. I will probably only order take out or delivery from here which is a shame because the ambiance is nice

Worst service in any NYC restaurant. Do NOT come here, rude staff, long wait for food. It's clean on the surface but extremely DIRTY underneath the wellness facade. Crumbs, hair in the napkins? Also they never have what is on the menu. The "sous vide" eggs are vomit worthy, translucent raw egg? What are we running here? It's a joke, save your time, money, and patience. Keep walking, they will be out of business shortly with practices like that.

Look at the reviews from 3 years ago claiming about slow and inattentive service. Guess what? It hasn't changed.I ordered cauliflower rice and bone broth. The cauliflower rice arrived and was ok. However the bone broth never arrived, even when I asked the waiter about it. I waited 40mins, then asked for the check. Only then did the waiter say the bone broth is premade and in a crock pot ready to serve - yet they couldn't get it for me in 40mins. Unbelievable.The most disappointing thing, look at their other reviews and this seems to be a consistent pattern of inattentive and poor customer service.

attitude is worse than service ... came to The Well for breakfast with my daughter while visiting her for a few days in the city... .. yes, the service is outrageous.. after waiting for my order for close to 30min, (mind you the place was almost empty), my egg sandwich arrived on a burned toast with cold eggs.. I called someone, (our waitress never came up and checked on us!!). They offered to make another one, although at that point I lost any hope and patience.. and just asked for a bill (they took $17 off).. yes, things happen, the reason I wrote this review is how bad the attitude of the personnel was, no apologies for making customers wait and messing it up. on the way out I spoke to a manager (a heavy set lady with long black hair, for the lack of her name.. wish she introduced herself..) she only wished me a good day..
