Powerbowl

Love, love, love First Watch, but I will never go back to this location. I ordered a carry out order for breakfast, and when I arrived there were 7 Uber Eats/GrubHub workers waiting for food. They said they had been there for at least 20 minutes & their food said it was ready... but no food. I waited 10 minutes after my order was supposed to be finished, asked if they had my order, the host said they are showing it in the system. I waited 20 minutes, asked if I missed it or if I should still be waiting, and another host said "20minutes is the shortest of our worries". I finally got my food 35 minutes after it said it was ready. When I got home, there was a small piece of raw chicken in my parfait. The entire restaurant was crowded with people trying to pickup food. My suggestion would be to have a feature that shows accurate ETA for food so that this doesn't happen. Multiple delivery drivers cancelled their orders, and by the time I left, there were 10 delivery drivers still waiting around. I felt so bad for them.

Salmon Eggs Benedict
Terrence M.

Soo I had a breakfast date... BY MYSELF lol!!! I decided to grab some much needed food to nourish this here vessel of mine. Order: Eggs Benedict Salmon, Blueberry Pancake, & Coffee Pros: The eggs benedict was pretty good! The eggs were perfectly poached and the potatoes were cooked perfectly!!!! Coffee was great as well. Cons: Pancake had a crunch to it. I had to send it back for another one. However, it wasnt a huge deal breaker... I just like light and fluffy pancakes. The sauce on the eggs Benedict had an interesting lemon taste to it. Wasn't a huge fan. I wish there was additional salmon lol.

The ambiance, the service, and the food get 5 stars. The location was pretty busy for a Monday at brunch, but our food came out relatively quick and our server was very attentive. I ordered eggs florentine while my friend ordered the chicken pesto hash. He said that his meal's flavor combination was out of this world! My eggs florentine were also pretty spot on, the hollandaise sauce was extremely fresh and the house potatoes were extremely tasty! The coffee was also really good. Highly recommend giving it a try!

What I expected
Sarah M.

Usually this place delivers for me but this time it fell a little flat. I tried out the chickichanga and ordered via Uber Eats. What I got is pictured below. I think I was honestly most disappointedly the temperature of the food and the quantity of fruit. Considering that the fruit side is considered in the total price, the fact that I received a total of four grapes (and that's it) was disappointing, even a little laughable. If you don't have enough fruit for an adequate side, sub with something comparable, or adjust the price. Don't give a customer four grapes. The entree, while a little hastily and poorly constructed, was still flavorful. I thought the lemon crema was a little too lemony, but that might just be personal preference. My side of sour cream helped counter the high acidity that distracted from the rest of the dish. I also added hot sauce from home and helped to jazz things up. Potatoes were good and well seasoned, not too salty. I understand there's a lot of stuff that could have contributed to the preparation of this meal, and I've had good food before, so maybe this was just an off day. I'll still order again, but maybe buy my own fruit instead.

AM superfood bowl (chia seed pudding + fruit, toast with almond butter) about $10

Northstar Café - Chicken sandwich

Picked up two breakfast sandwiches using online ordering. Delicious and made with real eggs…read morescrambled with cheese. I got a gluten free roll +$1 and it was pretty good. Very polite staff and looked like a nice spot to sit and enjoy a meal and drinks. Would return!

Located right on High St in the heart of the Short North, there is a very limited parking lot and…read moreon street parking. Head to the side door, as you will order first and then find a seat. This can be tricky because there seems to always be out the door, but most patrons understand the assignment and turnover goes quickly. I recommend searching the current menu online so you are ready as soon as you get to the register. This place appears to always be busy and bustling with people. We ordered the Country Scramble, Pancakes, and an Egg Sandwich. Drinks were hot apple cider, hot cocoa, and a Blackberry Fizz. All the food was delicious and are def the highlight. There is self serve coffee and soda(and water I believe although the person who got up to investigate for our table couldn't seem to find it). Honestly, the service is not my jam and why I dropped off a star. They seemed to be serving mimosas, wine, and Bloody Mary's in the line while you waited but the gal that was overseeing the area didn't really make eye contact so we didn't bother with that. Register was friendly and knowledgeable. But then the service gets tricky. There are no dedicated servers / bussers. Just people doing both. So many times you will find a group of people waiting for a table that needed to be cleared. We waited for the table to be cleared and no one was wiping the tables down, just removing dirty dishes. Our table was terribly sticky from the prior patrons but since you don't have a dedicated server, no one was coming back to take care of that. And lord help you if something wasn't right or you needed attention. We had no tableware or napkins and had to take them from another table. One of our meals took 10 more minutes than everyone else's so then our food was cold as we tried to be polite to the person who did not get food (but who do you inquire with?!). And if you wanted something else (another drink, or a pastry), you were going to have to wait in the line again. The food was good, but probably not a place I would return.
