I recently visited my local First Watch restaurant for the first time. Mother and I just came from…read moreher hair appointment and were hungry for some brunch. First Watch was a place I hadn't been to yet so we gave it a try. We arrived around noon but it was barely half full at that time. We were seated quickly but unfortunately we sat there for quite a while before a waitress finally showed up. Seating was good. Lots of half booth/table and chairs. On to the food! We ordered the million dollar bacon to go with our french toast with a berry compote and the biscuits with turkey sausage gravy and eggs. The bacon was amazing! Sweet with a bit of spice to it. My challah bread french toast was good but not as custardy as I'm used to with french toast. The berry compote was great with it. We were given a warm bottle of syrup to use which I love but I wish the bottle was clean before being put in front of me. There was a buttery smug probably from the last users. Mom's eggs and biscuit was great according to her. Food was ten outta ten but the service was slow to non-existent. If it had been a full house I shudder to think how long a wait you may get for service but then again it might have been a fluke. Either way the food was delicious.

In an eatery specializing in breakfast improperly cooked eggs are puzzling. And the ugly, this was our third visit in the last 6 weeks AND the eggs were cooked improperly each visit! We love the imaginative menu but if you cook staff can't get the easy part right you may be in the wrong business. PS: I ate the hard cooked eggs the first two visits but three strikes and you're out! PSS: the runner that delivered our breakfast apologized & admitted this happens "all the time"! Sounds like a management problem.

It is in the former Leigh Anne's Restaurant where I used to meet my dad when he was a bailiff at the courthouse a block away. I have been wanting to try it for a while and finally made it today. There was not an empty table for lunch and we had a quick wait of maybe ten minutes before we were seated. Even though it was 12 noon, I wanted breakfast which is served all day. I ordered the Southern Sunrise Breakfast and was not disappointed at all. I got with two fried chicken tenders with sausage gravy, grits, two fried eggs and a biscuit. The plate was full and I ended up not eating the biscuit. It tasted very good. I was very happy and look forward to my next time there where I plan to get the same thing, The staff was friendly and attentive, and the place was very clean.

But the drink and food preparations were...amateurish. I asked for a smoked old-fashioned (or "Gunslinger", as it's called here), which somehow became a watered-down house bourbon on ice. That was after a lengthy wait in which the server apologized because "the manager is unable to light the smoker". We also ordered the Ahi Tuna Tower. From the menu description we expected a chilled, bright ahi dish akin to poke or ceviche. What we received, though, was cooked, warm, tasteless cut-up fish. We were going to order dinner, but cut our stay short. Disappointing. PS - I kept having a déjà vu feeling while we sat in the bar area. Then, my wife reminded me we'd visited this place several years ago when it was a family-run Irish pub. My Yelp review is still available, we enjoyed it much more back then.

The décor and vibe give the place a lot of personality, and it made for an enjoyable dinner date for me and my wife. Service was excellent during our visit. Our server was incredibly pleasant, attentive, and full of great suggestions. The beer selection was another highlight, with an extensive set of choices. The only small downside was my wife's wings. She wasn't thrilled with the sauce she chose, which was a bit of a letdown, but everything else we tried hit the mark. I had the 18xx Chicken Sandwich (minus the bun). Glad I went without the bun because that thing would have been a bit of a beast to try and eat as a sandwich. Overall, it's a great spot with a cool atmosphere, and an impressive beer lineup. I feel comfortable recommending though I'd likely try a steak or burger option. Update: Two more visits and I've tried two other entrees: the Ooey-Gooey Grilled Cheese Sandwich and the Spinach and Salmon Salad. I had the salad because I wasn't especially hungry on that visit. It was neither bad nor outstanding. The grilled cheese sandwich was, indeed, as advertised, both ooey and gooey and both in a good way. I'm still interested to try a burger on a future visit. On one of our visits, the kitchen team apparently used the tuna that was meant for my wife's Seared Ahi Tuna Salad for another meal which resulted in an additional 15-minute wait time for our food. Though disappointing, a member of the kitchen staff came to our table to explain that situation which was a professional courtesy move that was professional and respectable.

The beer selection was surprisingly mediocre, and they happened to be out of the first two beers my wife and I tried to order, which was a bit disappointing. I went with the barbecue entrée with a vinegar based sauce, which was alright overall. The sides were actually the highlight -- the mashed potatoes and broccoli were pretty good but the garlic toast was unpleasantly oversalted, enough to stand out in a negative way. My wife ordered a burger, and she absolutely loved it. In fact, she's decided it's her favorite burger in the Charlotte area so far. The atmosphere is great for sports fans. There are plenty of TVs, and we enjoyed watching a women's college softball game and a UFL game during our visit. It feels like the kind of spot where you could settle in comfortably for a big game. Service was pleasant enough, not exceptional but friendly and functional. Overall, Dilworth Grille delivers a solid experience with some standout moments.
