The Well has such a great vibe and such great food. It is completely free of Gluten (aside from organic sourdough), Seed Oils, Soy, Refined Sugar, and GMOs. They also have four locations all in Austin Texas. The wait staff is so friendly and brought us a binder full of every ingredient in every dish when they found out my son has allergies. Everything is made from scratch and is a perfect example of how real food tastes delicious. This find was a real gem.
