    I love first watch but this was my first time at this location. Came in for lunch on a Saturday with my friends. Our service was not great and our server kept going into the back and chatting with other staff so we'd have to get up and ask for things like silverware, side of potatoes that came with our meal and our check. Food is always good but side potatoes took forever to come out and were undercooked. Not the best experience but hopefully next time is better!

    I have been to First Watch several times, but this was my first time at this location and it was truly enjoyable. A catch up between girlfriends was fun with a tasty breakfast. Waitress was helpful without being overbearing. Checking in on us. Lowkey, easy going vibes here. Nice and clean atmosphere. The power breakfast bowl was so tasty. Didn't need additional seasoning. Flavored just right. Of course I added a little hot sauce because...why not. Affordable, entire bill with tip was less than $20.

    Tried out the Strawberry tres leche French toast! Yum! We went on a Sunday, and it was pretty busy but our waiter was very attentive and polite. First watch is our alternative brunch spot when we don't feel like crossing the bridge for Cracker Barrel lol. Just about anything on the menu is a delicious option!

    11/23/25. I must say I'm amazed lately how many people go out to eat! Here a Sunday morning 9:30-10:00 am and the place was packed! We were saying goodbye to family and decided to meet for breakfast (not sure why all those other people were there...lol). Service was good, food was good, prices on the high end but you left feeling like you ate. The maple syrup was hot for our waffles/pancakes, eggs done right..I understand why people come....

    First Watch is a place where you can get Boutique-style cooking from a Chain restaurant. I particularly like this place because they have cleaner eat option. They're not afraid to mix their menu with new & infused flavors. They have fresh squeezed juices and tonics. Also, ordering coffee comes with your own karafe. Walking into the restaurant it's tables and booths. I've only gone during the week so it's not crowd. All the rave this time is Lavendar French Toast. The subtle taste of lavender sweetened by mousse was a delight & the Kale Tonic is my favorite IT's just refreshing. Also, at the Mandarin location, there are tables near outlets. I was able to do some work from home (WFH) while I was there. The wait staff were super accommodating.

    Very busy location with lots of seating inside and outside. Our server was very kind and professional. The hostess up front was so nice and he made sure that we were comfortable and properly seated within a timely manner. The dishes were made to order and the drinks and juices weee amazing. I really enjoyed the large portions of food with very reasonable prices.

    After a bit of shopping at Plaza, we decided to stop by First Watch for a quick bite. It's part of a chain with mostly a breakfast menu. We ordered oatmeal for my daughter, and I got an omelet, both of which were fresh and delicious. The highlight was the lemon bluberry pancake we had for dessert--so fresh and flavorful! We enjoyed our meal at First Watch, and it was a delightful stop. Free parking nearby. Clean, nice, but crowded as well as at other locations. There is plenty of free parking nearby.

    This was disappointing. How do you serve an old, brown avocado spread.

    This was disappointing. How do you serve an old, brown avocado spread. And when I ask to change it for a fresh, they brought me another one the same way. The chef incharge should know better

    Rachael O.

    Went here on a Sunday at 11am and got a table within 15 mins! Service was quick and our waitress was really friendly. The BLT Benedict was one of the best things I've gotten here so far! There was a lemon-y vinaigrette on top which really made the dish so unique and delicious, highly would recommend! There were tons of gluten free options for someone in our group. Outside & inside seating, we sat outside because it felt nice out. It's a little loud inside but outside was nice!

    Always consistent with the meals...but I often forget to join the waitlist before I arrive. Wait is often 30min. Service is also on point.

For appetizers, we started with the snapper bites and the fried blue crab claws. Both were cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. For our entrees, we decided on the seafood broil and the fried platters. Both dishes hit the spot. The portion sizes were well balanced, and we left feeling satisfied rather than overly full. On top of that, the pricing was great. Our waiter was great, but the pacing of the meal could have been smoother since it took about 45 minutes to get our entrees. There were a couple of other notable downsides. The restaurant was quite loud, and to top it all off, a woman at the table right next to us had her shoes off. Management really should have controlled that kind of behavior, as it detracts from the dining experience. Furthermore, despite making reservations to celebrate our anniversary, the restaurant did not acknowledge it at all. That was unfortunate. Still, the quality of the food and the service from our waiter kept things afloat.

The Host guided us toward the front counter where we could order, and I thought the cashier was asking whether we were first time visitors just to be kind... It seems however that he started a process of the restaurants owners (Mr. Mandola himself) and employees coming over to our table, welcoming us and asking if there was anything we needed. Ultimately, we were given a complimentary dessert, we were showed a history of the business and the owners' restaurant experiences over the past 50+ years. What a first class experience for just a quick lunch. As far as the food, the pizza was wonderful! We got a meat lovers pizza, and as we found, the semolina flour rather than all-purpose flour keeps the crust hearty enough to carry all the ingredients. Drinks are self-serve, and the desserts are a must - The cannoli and tiramisu were the best we've had! Pricing is quite reasonable for all that we received. There are both lunch or dinner portions available, and since we just split a pizza, the price was certainly less than $20 per person all in. From the beautiful location inside to the amazing service experience, the wonderful food and reasonable pricing, we will certainly be back at Mandolas soon.

    The quality of the food has steadily declined since the last time I ate here…read more The chicken was dry and chewy. The Spaghettini Ortolano didn't have much flavor. The Meatballs were juicy and moist but the marinara sauce was way too tart without much other flavor. Wouldn't order again. The garlic parmesan dressing was the best thing they had on the mista salad. If this is their standard now, I would not return.

Clara's Tidbits has a variety of lunch options consisting mostly of your standard lunch fare of soups, salads, sandwiches. The Saturday special happened to be the Chicken Salad Sandwich, which is what I was planning to order, so I was pleasantly surprised to get my meal at a slightly lesser cost. I approached the counter to order and the server was happy to answer questions regarding what was included with the meal (pita sandwich with choice of side plus a drink). It came out to be $13 plus tip which is pretty reasonable these days. The establishment itself is very clean and there was plenty of seating during lunch time. Parking should also not be an issue. The setting itself is very casual, but the food was high quality. As for the food itself, the chicken salad was seasoned excellently and didn't have that weird taste sometimes associated with refrigerated chicken. The pasta salad was tasty, and the fountain soda was properly carbonated and flavored. It also came out within 5 or so minutes of ordering it. Give this place a shot!

They're located at 10503 San Jose Blvd over in Mandarin. It was a night of firsts! We had an appetizer we've never had before, then we both ordered things we've never had before. We started with the St. Louis Ravioli, which was great. Don't be intimidated by the size on the photo, they just puff up a LOT. Many people have raved about the steak at Picasso's so I finally ordered it last night. Their special was Prime New York Strip and holy cow, it was a big steak! I ordered it medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. Every single one of you who were raving about the steak were not lying. It was seasoned well, juicy & tender...just excellent. My wife tried their Meatball Madness pizza, which she ordered St. Louis Style. She'd never tried that style of pizza before and she really liked it. It's a very thin crust pizza, cut into squares. She REALLY liked the meatballs to the point where she kept saying that the next time we come back, she wants to try their spaghetti & meatballs. We got there right at 4:30 when they open for dinner and they were packed almost instantly. It's worth noting that our server Kelsie was fantastic through the whole meal. One nice touch was that she took our leftovers, boxed them up and brought them back to us. That may not seem like a huge thing but it's a little touch we always like.
