"Mixed experience. Had a booking, restaurant still on a Monday afternoon, took 5 minutes for someone to come to us at the desk, and when she did she barely said hello, just looked at us with a scowl. After that sat at table for 15 minutes waiting for someone to eat over. Eventually got order in, waitress didn't even ask if we wanted anything to drink. We were there 30 minutes before we actually got a drink. Not really acceptable in a quiet restaurant, that was closing in less than an hour closes early on a Monday. Food was good when it came, and different waitress by now, who was so much better. So a mixed bag. I know staff difficulties at present, but 10 minutes training in fundamentals would help. As would have someone in charge on the floor to ensure paying customers are being looked after. Poor management from what I saw. Pity, as some of the staff were great, others very poor.

He had a reservation, the restaurant was quiet Monday afternoon, it took 5 minutes for someone to come and see us at the counter and, when he did, he barely greeted us, he only looked at us with the frown.

We were there 30 minutes before we had a drink. It is really not acceptable in a quiet restaurant, which closed in less than an hour; it closes early on Mondays. The food was good when it came, and now the waitress was different, which was much better. Then a mix of things. I know the difficulties of the staff at present, but a 10-minute basic training would help. Just like having someone in charge on the floor to ensure that the paying customers are treated. Bad management for what I saw. Too bad, since some staff members were great, others very poor."

"We enjoyed ourselves at The Well on an early Sunday evening. The waitress for some reason couldn't identify my Opentable reservation in their system, but once I showed her my confirmation email, she was absolutely fine about accepting it and granted us the offer. The staff were friendly and were very flexible as we were a group of three which suddenly grew to a group of five and it was no problem immediately moving us to a larger table. The wine options were good and I enjoyed a nice glass of red and my friends found the various white wines and rose very palatable. We were able to use our off food only offer on the specials menu as well as the main A La Carte menu. It was just a risotto dish that we were told we could not order. We would have found the prices quite expensive otherwise (although it probably reflects the location, being Clerkenwell) but the service and the quality of the cuisine is very good. Three of us totally enjoyed the hearty, generous half Chicken Sunday Roast. It came with so many delicious extras and trimmings and was prepared really well... the hake dish that my other two friends chose seemed to go down very well also, infact they allowed one friend to create a dish with the roast's vegetables. He was chuffed. All the puddings were a real delight too. My chocolate dessert was scrumptious with a delicious sauce. All in all a very good experience was had at The Well and we would certainly return there!"
