Guestbook & Reviews

Experience Through Their Eyes

We were 2 families that dined in with 4 kids. We had 1 child who is gluten free and our wonderful waitress Emily went above and beyond to ensure we felt good that the food was prepared safely. The nachos were the best part of the meal, everyone wanted more. The wings, the burgers and everything else we ordered was on point. The children gave a special shout out to Emily who was amazing. We will be back soon.

Under new management the well has certainly upgraded their food and is well worth a visit. We started with wings which were very meaty and well seasoned , followed by burgers and fries which were cooked to salty perfection, both the well burger and the smash burger had plenty of meat! Service was swift and adorable.

Food quality / price (value) rating 10. This place is a little bit tricky to find, but it is there! It's below sidewalk level and down a set of stairs, and definitely worth looking for! The owner, Jonathan, typically in attendance, has committed his considerable energy to preparing and serving top quality dishes. One long lost pleasure I enjoyed was HOME-MADE onion rings - sliced sweet Spanish onions dipped in house made batter and fried to perfection. I'd almost forgotten what real food tastes like! No pre-prepared plastic bagged frozen crap here! (I would, however, recommend eating all your onion rings while they're fresh, as they don't reheat well.) They offer a pub/tavern style menu, a full bar, and a limited but well chosen draught beer list I had lunch here while sitting at their ten seat bar, a Blackened Chicken sandwich (with the aforementioned onion rings) and everything was prepared and presented very nicely. The chicken was moist and spicy and cooked properly, where typically most chefs believe that "blackened" means "burnt". The service was great as were the prices. It was a pleasure finding a good restaurant in Great Barrington, a city known for its shortage of eating establishments. They have a very nice sidewalk table area that allows diners to enjoy the beauty of the Victorian style Main Street, which is very walkable and one should plan to take a stroll while here. I look very forward to returning!

Came here on valentines day and sat at the bar. Cozy but chic vibes, I got the feeling this is a place where friends meet often. I got the spiced winter paloma which was a great cocktail after skiing. Good food and good vibes

Had a great time at the Well! We were visiting from out of town and found this place through the find me gluten free app. We had a child who couldn't eat gluten and they were so accommodating and reassuring. The nachos were a 10/10 for everyone.

The Well is better than ever with an upgrade in food quality and service as new ownership has recently taken over. Tonight I tried their special, which was Gravlax - served with shaved fennel + beurre blanc sauce and was thoroughly satisfied. Another thing to highlight is the price point for what you get and it's very appropriate. A good sign for a restaraunt is when you see management present and interacting with customers not to mention the bartender was friendly and attentive. They can have my money. Looking forward to going back :)
