The Well

Went to the Well on Easter Sunday for their brunch...it was great.  We will be back!  Also great rooftop patio with a great view!

I went to the well and had the most horrible experience with a surly, slow, tacky waitress named Emily.  She messed up our orders and spent a lot of time visiting or talking with the other servers.  We were looking for an off beat location to recommend to our out of town clients coming in for the all star game.  We know that power and light will be really crowded and we heard that this place was not far from the plaza with a great rooftop bar and food.  Unfortunately the fish tacos were not enough to overcome the crappy service provided. Since we were there for lunch I can only imagine what this waitress would be like during a crowded all-star weekend event.

My manager expressed his displeasure with the server to the management.  We found it interesting that she had been a server there for a long time.

The well without Emily would be a great venue.  The good thing is she works mostly day time hours.  Wr r going tom try again at a later time and hope "crappy server" is not working any overtime,

The Well has become the default Happy Hour spot for my co-workers and I. Although I much prefer hanging out on the roof, the main indoor area is spacious and comfortable. The last time I was there, the basketball game was at a verging-on-annoying volume (and I'm a sports fan), but it was March Madness and I haven't had that problem before, so I'm going to call it a fluke.

Most of the food I've had has been off the Starters menu, and it's all been very good. The hummus and wings are excellent, and the nachos are huge and have a load of toppings.

The beer selection is good, and the wine list is nice for a place that sits closer to the sports bar side of the axis than anything else.

Service is always friendly and prompt. At my last visit, the server recommended a different wine than the one I chose, because she said she found it more flavorful. It was Happy Hour, so there wasn't a price difference, and I appreciated the advice.

And I'll give an extra plus to any place that has the super-powerful hand dryers in the bathroom.
