The Well is located in the beautiful seaside town of Cape Elizabeth, Maine. We are lucky to be situated on Jordan's Farm, which is a working farm on 122 acres of land. Our ingredients are sourced locally as much as possible. Most of our produce comes straight from Jordan's Farm and surrounding farms in Cape Elizabeth.
Our tasting menu changes on a daily basis and is focused on highlighting the best of Maines summer season. We will gladly accommodate most dietary restrictions with advanced notice. We offer Chef’s Porch table seating for 1-4 guests, private Small Gazebos for 3-6 guests, and Large Gazebos for 6-12 guests. Large gazebos have the choice between the tasting menu or our “family style” large format menu. Please click reservation link above for available times and to complete booking.

Jason Williams was raised in Silver Lake, NH. Since an early age he was devoted to learning as much as possible about the Culinary Arts industry. After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America in 1998, he decided to combine two of his favorite interests, food and travel, and moved out to California where he was exposed to a wide variety of produce and techniques. After four years in Lake Tahoe working in it's finest kitchens, it was time to move on. A new passion for seafood led Jason to the island of Maui where he spent three years working under the leadership of renowned Hawaiian regional chefs Peter Merriman and Roy Yamaguchi. During this time, a developing appreciation of wines led him back to California to work a harvest apprenticeship at Cakebread Cellars in Napa Valley where he took a hands on approach to the winemaking craft and developed a deeper understanding of wines and the wine culture. While the wines were aging, the kitchen life was calling, so Jason began working for chef Robert Curry at Auberge du Soleil Resort in Rutherford, California.
In 2005, Jason settled down in Cape Elizabeth, Maine and took a job with chef Larry Mathews Jr. at one of Portlands finest restaurants, The Back Bay Grill. For four years Jason worked with Larry polishing the skills he had learned as well as new techniques that Larry shared. It was during this time that Jason's relationship with the Jordan family developed. In 2010, a unique opportunity presented itself and with the Jordan's blessing, Jason established The Well at Jordan's Farm which became a welcomed addition to the farm stand. Jason's goals are to create the food that inspires him, for the community that inspires him, in a setting that would inspire all.
