Avocado Toast
Christine N.

Nope, won't be back. I hate writing bad reviews but I have to share my experience here. Let's start with the fact I was seated and forgotten. Not for 5 minutes, not for 10 minutes... but for 15 minutes. Everyone around me being seated after me, got their orders taken and I was ignored. I tried to flag waiters a couple of times but they were so far in their heads to even acknowledge me. No awareness of other patrons, just dialed in to their own affairs. It was weird so I kept my timer going telling myself at 15 minutes I would just get up and leave. My waiter did come and asked "have you been helped yet?" At that point I just ordered. My food came out quickly. Avocado toast and egg whites. Loads of avocados on wheat bread. Simple egg whites at the side. The problem was the browning of the avocados. So many avocado bits were visibly browned - how could the kitchen send that eyesore out. Is it me? Do people like eating browning avocados? At a restaurant? For a dish that's $13.79?! I could buy two bags of fresh avocados for that price! I was just disappointed. Should I send it back? Wait another 15 mins for someone to come back around and possibly bring me something worse? I just scraped off the rotten parts like I would do at home and at it the best I could. Herein lays the problem with why I can't bring myself to visit these types of restaurants. The waitstaff is distracted, undertrained, the move quick and the goal isn't to give you a good experience, it's to get you in and out. Forgetting a patron could have been solved with a smile, addressing the issue and taking ownership, none of that was done. A friendly environment where staff is cordial and work as a team to make sire their clientele is happy, not just at their table but all tables. Scan the restaurant, make sure people have waters (I never got a water), make sure they don't have needs... is that too much to ask for? The food is mediocre at best. I get it, this is First Watch not Le Jardinier, but let's be real. People are leaving their homes to dine in your establishment, make it worth it. Make it better than what they can make at home with their eyes closed. Serve fresh produce and ingredients. We eat with our eyes first. Visibly rotting food is appealing, it doesn't matter how much you piled on the plate. Respect your consumers! This restaurant must have a clientele that keeps coming back, and that is probably what they are riding on for now but the reality is - in this economy, if they don't plan to rise to the occasion it will be just another breakfast spot that everyone with sense in the community avoids. You have the whole Sienna locked in behind you, this place should be packed but we are driving past you to find better. Management needs to buckle down and get this back on track before it ends in calamity because no one wants to pay for food they can make better in their kitchens and be treated like fools because we entertained the thought of eating outside.

Inside view
Seema K.

It was packed on Sunday morning. Busy and nice inside. Food was fine, nothing exclusive. Tried their new limited addition breakfast sandwich THE B.E.C., which is supposed to be in a sourdough bread but I was served with regular bread and very crisp one that it was hard to bite. It was never asked if any sides are needed and I got the side of fried potatoes, I asked to please swap with some small veggies and they got some greens with no dressing at all. At this stage I didn't want to ask anything. Soup i asked was not tomato basil and I made it clear but was served exactly what I made clear u don't want. So nothing much to say. Bit disappointing as I was very excited to visit them in our neighborhood.

This hit the spot! It's was simply delicious nothing more to say. I'm already ready to eat it again. Service was great as well.

First Watch First Watch.... Me and my family went to Houston for about 4-5 days and started everyday with First Watch. They have the best tasting syrup I've ever had. The juices are always great. The outside patio was peaceful. And the food doesn't leave you fat backed and sluggish. This is our favorite breakfast spot.

Million dollar potatoes

I've always been an advocate for breakfast food, and I always go over the top when I cook breakfast at home. First Watch definitely delivered on my breakfast itch. This is a brand-new location, and we Sienna folks have been waiting for it ever since there were signs of it on the way. When I arrived, parking was pretty scarce if you were trying to get directly in front or near the entrance, so just be prepared for that. Luckily, I managed to get a spot right in front. The wait staff was out front holding the doors open for incoming customers. I thought that was a simple yet thoughtful gesture. It gives you the vibe that you're walking into a place with great customer service. And wow, did it ever. I grabbed a seat at the bar because it was crowded, but because of that, I was able to sit down immediately. My server was really nice. I believe I overheard that he left his job as a doctor to work here... WOW. He was super friendly, accommodating, and offered great recommendations. I got the French toast, cheese eggs, pork sausage, Million Dollar Bacon (more on this in a bit), ham, and Million Dollar Potatoes, along with a mimosa. Here's my mini-review of each item: French Toast was delightful. Not too sweet but definitely a good eat. Cheese Eggs were tasty. Fluffy, cooked just how I liked them, and had great presentation. Pork Sausage was just OK. Nothing to write home about. I think I would ask for it to be well done next time. Million Dollar Bacon was a hit. It's sweet maple bacon with black pepper and cayenne for a kick. IT. WAS. GOOD. Highly recommend. Million Dollar Potatoes were also good. It's potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, creamy mushrooms, kale, melty cheese, crispy pieces of Million Dollar Bacon, and probably some other stuff. Just try it. TRUST ME, BRO. Lol. Mimosa was very balanced. I enjoyed it very much. The customer service was amazing. The staff was very attentive, friendly, and checked on me frequently. A cool story that happened while I was here: The owner of the locally famous Southern cuisine restaurant Micheaux's ended up sitting right next to me at the bar. I've already been there a bunch of times and always enjoy their food. Well, he talked to me about my recommendations for what to eat at First Watch and expressed how he always wanted to support local businesses. At some point during our conversation, he asked my server for my check and PAID FOR MY WHOLE MEAL! I thought that was super awesome, and it really made my experience here just that much better. All in all, this is probably going to be our local brunch/breakfast go-to, and I'm glad they are in the area. First Watch is a hit!

Eggs Benedict (Smoked Salmon) 15.99

(+) The food was tasty. We ordered an eggs benedict, roast beef sandwich, and a skillet hash. Portions corresponded with the price. (+) Interior was very new and well-lit. (-) Our server, while very cordial and polite in the beginning, basically ghosted us after leaving the bill at our table. Later, we found her chatting it up with several other coworkers at the front door, which led us to wait over 10 minutes to pay/get boxes. As we later found out, you pay at the front, but it would have been helpful if that was communicated to us as the bill was dropped off (first time here). We tried to get someone else to help us, but there were workers walking by, clearly pretending like they couldn't see us. (-) We were seated right by the restrooms, behind a half-wall, which made it even more difficult to flag someone down. This wouldn't have been a problem if our server was more attentive. (-) The workers up front were too busy chatting with each other (one was half wiping the windows) to take our payment. One girl was behind the counter, clearly flustered trying to help everyone in line trying to pay. Eventually, a manager came who was also clueless and was not able to help check how much was remaining on our gift card. He told us to call Corporate. We weren't given a receipt, so we had to ask if we had to sign a merchant copy to add a tip, but no one could be bothered to figure out how to do that for us, and then they proceeded to help the next person in line. And so we just walked away. Despite being seated in an awkward place, our server was initially very attentive and helpful. The food was good and we were enjoying our visit, but the service could use some serious improvements, starting from the top. Better training, better work ethic, all of it. Can't justify paying these steep brunch prices if it's the service that's going to leave a sour taste in your mouth. Hopefully, this was all due to the fact that this location just recently opened, but I will wait a good while before trying it out again.

There is plenty of natural light, which I look for when finding a cafe to study at. I also feel as if people don't really know about this place yet, making it a good spot to come here consistently to study. The bathrooms here are pretty clean as well. Anahid took our order and she was very helpful with explaining each drink and providing recommendations. We ended up trying a couple drinks from their New Orleans inspired coffee menu: the iced bananas foster and the iced southern wedding cake, both with sweet cold foam, as well as some beignets. My friend loved the bananas foster, the banana flavor really shines through but not in an overpowering way. And the sweet cold foam really elevates this drink to another level. The southern wedding cake contains a hint of vanilla and almond flavor. The flavor of this coffee is really unique. The almond gives it a light nutty flavor and the vanilla flavor blends nicely with the coffee. The beignets were topped with a generous amount of powdered sugar and were warm, light and airy, and flaky. They were a perfect mid study snack. I could definitely see myself coming back here for another study session.

I ordered the Bananas Foster and the Cafe Au Lait alongside my beignets. The Bananas Foster was delicious and my favorite drink, as the sweet banana flavor comes through very well, and it topped with a fluffy sweet cold foam that pairs perfectly with this drink! I also ordered the hot Cafe Au Lait sweetened with cane sugar syrup, and the strong espresso balances the sweet beignets for the classic New Orleans experience! The service was amazing, and my barista, Anahid, was so kind and helpful! She answered all of our questions and gave us recommendations as this was my first time here. The atmosphere inside this PJ's location was spacious, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of comfortable seating and outlets if you are looking for a great place to study and hang out! The music is not too loud here and there's plenty of natural sunlight and even parking lot space. I definitely look forward to my next visit here!

After being seated, it took about 10 minutes before our server came to the table. Unfortunately, there was very little interaction after that. Our food didn't arrive until around 2:30 p.m., and during the wait we received no updates, no apology for the delay, and no check-ins to see if we needed refills or anything else. The food was seasoned, but neither of us felt it was memorable enough to justify the wait. What disappointed us most wasn't simply the hour-long wait. It the lack of communication and hospitality. A quick apology or occasional update would have gone a long way. I genuinely wanted to enjoy this experience because I believe in supporting Black owned businesses. I hope the owners look closely at the front of house experience, because good customer service can turn a delayed meal into a customer who still wants to come back. Unfortunately, this wasn't that experience for us.
