First Watch — Restaurant in Maryland

I really do like this place. The food is fresh and unique and really great quality. I gave 4 stars because it's the little things that kill. And I know I'm hard on restaurants, but with all the competition and options out there, they need to do the one thing they're out there to do. Ive eaten here several times and I readily recommend that you try it. But dine in so you can return any errors. Last time I ate here, I ordered a breakfast for carry out. The omelet I ordered came with sour cream and a "lightly dressed" salad. The first pic is of the "cup" of sour cream that came with it. This amount of sour cream is just absurd, and I expect something like this to not happen. It was barely a tbsp of sour cream, and it ruins the meal for someone that expects that on their omelet. There was no need to skimp like that, especially since it's a large omelet and it's not a cheap place to dine. In addition, there was absolutely NO dressing on the salad. It was just dry leaves. This too is completely unacceptable. Again, it ruins the meal and there's simply no excuse for that. 3rd, I don't eat sugar or simple carbohydrates. The menu has nutritional values, which is awesome. But we ordered a soup that claimed to only have 4 net carbs. It wasn't cheap. The second picture is that soup which is packed with some kind of noodles. So I paid for it, was looking forward to it, and it went to waste.

Now, in their defense...the third pic shows the omelet - which is large and delicious, and packed with the ingredients described. All it needed was enough sour cream to be able to taste. At the end of the day, you need to check this place out. I DO highly recommend them. I certainly won't stop eating here and it will remain one of my regular restaurants. I'll change to 5 stars eventually if the next couple of visits demonstrate greater attention to the details and this isn't a trend that they're heading towards as they get older. I sure hope that's not...

Myself and co-workers decided to have lunch at this establishment today for our co-workers birthday. The food was pretty good but the service was terrible. We were greeted promptly upon arrival but things went downhill after that. The server brought water glasses to the table. She said she forgot the water Kraft but we never did get water the entire meal. We ordered two mixed green salads as appetizers. The waitress put the salads on the table and rushed off but I was able to get her attention when she was halfway across the dinning room to let her know we couldn’t eat the salads without utensils. Then my co-worker asked for a sweet tea. He waited and waited for his tea. During that time our meals came out, minus my co-workers meal. It’s unfortunate her meal was last because we were at the restaurant celebrating her birthday. The waitress checked on us right after we got our food. My co-worker asked about his ice tea again. My other coworker asked for syrup for her pancake and we reminded her that the birthday gal didn’t get her food. We waited several minutes for her to return. I eventually got up to find out waitress and at least get the syrup and tea. My coworkers lunch came out several minutes later. Apologized and said it was due to training a new employee. I even had to ask multiple times for a to-go box for my leftover shrimp and grits, which by the way was not good compared to the last time I ate it. Todays shrimp and grits had undercooked peppers and really gummy grits. Todays visit was unfortunate. I hope they...

Well not so good for a first impression. The cafe was a little busy with a 30 min wait time but I was alone. I was asked if sitting at the communal table was ok, and I was pleased to have the first come seating. After about ten min a nice young lady asked me if I needed anything. I ordered coffee and the traditional breakfast with three eggs over medium with green chillie and cheese on the potatoes.

I guess the special order was to much for the kitchen staff because I finished the pitcher of coffee and played on FB for over 30 min before I had to ask another young lady for more coffee and to check on my order.

She second lady looked at me and asked who was helping me. I honestly didn't know because she stood behind me the whole time I ordered.

About five min after I asked about coffee and my order, my server came over with more coffee and to let me know MY order was next no matter what!

It still took another five min to get my order and while it looked ok the potatoes were cold, the chilie was very cold because the just got it out of the can and the cheese wasn't melted. The only positive thing I can say about my visit was, The eggs were cooked ok and flavorful and so was the toast.

There are a lot of good reviews and I expect this review is an exception, at...
