We had previously gone this way to go to the Egg and I but not disappointed when we stepped in to this place. It was a very open and clean environment. Our waitress, Jordan, was super helpful and nice. She at one point sat down and talked to us about the different items on the menu and recommended some things! Our food was very good and came out quick. However our food was a bit pricer than we had expected. Overall still yummy. We will be back and ask for Jordan!
Had a wonderful first meal at the new First Watch on Hull Street recently. Despite the long wait (because their popularity makes for a long wait sometimes), it is well worth it and the range of options are great to appease a wide audience. The decor and atmosphere is nice and upscale feeling. Our server, Lydia, was awesome as well. Only suggestion: would like some sound-dampening installed throughout because the 'open concept' can get quite loud! Love it and highly recommend. Decent prices and a great breakfast and brunch/lunch choice. When they first opened they had some kinks to work out, but I think it's pretty smooth running now. The staff are friendly and food is always good. Go check them out. They had a lot to live up to with the Egg & I being there before them... I think they did a great job.
Don't take 3 stars to mean that there was a problem. The place is fine, just nothing special. They really put an emphasis on farm fresh, free range and things like that. I can't tell the difference, maybe some can. The server was friendly, the place is clean, the wait for food time was reasonable. There just wasn't anything particularly exciting about the menu to me and the food met but did not exceed my expectations.
Food is pretty generic but prettified to make you think it's more. $12 for a waffle, 2 eggs and 2 bacon is pretty ridiculous. $1.89 for an additional egg (currently can get a dozen for that much). $12 for a 3 egg omelet with 1 sausage link and half a piece of bacon in it. I think this restaurant thinks more of itself than the food shows. The 1 star for the service, 1 star for the food tasting good, 1star for speed of service, missed star for price. Missed star for wow factor. Probably won't return unless a friend wants to go. Better breakfast places to spend your money more efficiently.
