    Egg sandwich on brioche. Overveasy with maple bacon and home fries. Very filling
    Pamela O.

    Ordered a maple bacon egg sandwich on brioche and home fries. The orange juice was fresh. Great customer service. Would highly recommend

    Went to First Watch Naperville for brunch with a friend visiting from out of town. The food was tasty, portions were just right, and service was friendly. The place has a nice, casual vibe and is great for catching up over the labor day weekend. the wait time was not at all longer. Overall, a good spot I'd come back to!

    Powerwrap
    Teri M.

    Saturday morning @ 7 am. Pretty empty. Seated immediately. Ordered coffee, a powerwrap, and steel cut oatmeal. Coffee was served in a carafe, and left on table. Love when a restaurant does this. Coffee was excellent. Variety of creamers on table. Food came quickly, and was served hot. Beautiful presentation. Wrap and oatmeal were both great. Service was very good. We will return.

    Their BLT with egg sandwich

    It's a beautiful farm theme brunch place. It's located in the Amazon fresh market. I love their menu. Healthy style brunch. I had their banana crunch pancake and their bacon egg BLT. I felt it was more of an egg sandwich. It was really good time with my mom. I would recommend this brunch place if you're looking for an American healthy brunch place.

    I like the food and drinks here. Been here many times and this is my first time posting my review for this place. Their morning drinks are all very refreshing and delicious! Worth trying every single one!

    Chickichanga and mimosa
    Jasmine S.

    A party of four went to the location at 12:30pm for brunch. While the location does not take reservations, you can check yourself in on their website to be on a guestlist if needed. When we arrived we sat pretty fast. The crowed kept growing once we sat. We were greeted with our server asking if we would like coffee of any other drink. They offer alcoholic beverages as well. Nice perk of coffee, they will leave you a whole kettle at the table. The food came out pretty fast and we never felt rushed. I ordered the Chickichanga. It was cooked well. The potatoes as a side were delicious and the fruit stole the show. So fresh and sweet.

    walking in the atmosphere and energy is nice. the service is friendly and great even the passing staff. great menu options, food and drinks. definitely will be becoming a regular here to try more options

    Healthy Turkey
    Jason Y.

    Nice selection and fair prices for a breakfast place. Super clean and the staff is friendly. Had the healthy turkey egg white omelet, solid portion. Tomatoes were a little "wintery" but that's this time of year. Coffee is excellent and you get a nice carafe to get juiced up.

    Holiday Menu

    I go here all the time with my family and they're incredibly efficient. We didn't make a reservation and was seated in 15 minutes despite how busy they were. If I had to describe this place in one word it would be efficient. The food comes out quickly and we were able to pay with a QR code from our seating while we were finishing up our drinks. If the holiday menu is still around, I highly recommend the Red Medicine drink. My dish, the Chickichanga is what I always get. My sister, who got the waffles said they have the same aftertaste as Eggo Waffles in a bad way. I loved how open the place was and it didn't get too loud. It felt clean and aesthetically and genuinely despite the rush they have.

Parking was not bad at the time we arrived but it can get obnoxiously packed. I like the Downers Grove one because they have their own parking lot. We were seated immediately even though it was starting to get busy. They have a lot of seating inside. Our waitress was very attentive and sweet. I ordered the stuffed breakfast biscuit and it came with farmhouse potatoes. When you cut into the biscuit, you'll find bacon, scrambled eggs, and cheese. The biscuit itself was soft to cut and I liked the gravy. My cousin ordered the strawberry crepe and my girlfriend ordered the fried green tomato benedict. The portion sizes are enormous, you could make two meals out of this. I would say the prices are fair since they do give you a lot of food. If you find them expensive, Denny's and Ihop are cheaper alternatives. Everything was delicious. I forgot to mention but I recommend getting the strawberry orange juice. You won't regret it.

The reservation process has also vastly improved after the transitioned to a new system. As for the food. We get the kids menu options which our kids love (chicken tenders and grilled cheese).

I asked them to make eggs with olive oil and they were able to accommodate this! My husband got the fried chicken skillet which he has ordered many times before. The honey butter pancakes are our favorite and we usually upgrade that side to this variety. Service was quick and friendly - I continue to recommend Buttermilk!

The avocado was the perfect ripeness and so creamy! My husband's house potatoes and biscuits and gravy were also great. He really liked the gravy and asked for a side of it because he likes extra gravy on his biscuits. We also ordered the Nutella crepes and they tasted pretty good. They had a hint of cinnamon in the crepe mix so keep that in mind, next time I think we will ask to exclude it now that we know. Still they were very good We will for sure be back again!

From the moment we checked in, the room had no hot water. We contacted the front desk and were told to let it run. It never got hot. About an hour later, we realized the heat was not working either. We contacted the front desk again and explained that we would be leaving around 6:00 PM for New Year's Eve plans and would not return until after 1:00 AM, giving the hotel over six hours to resolve both issues. Maintenance came by and assured us everything would be fine. It was not. We returned around 1:20 AM, went to sleep, and woke up around 8:00 AM to a freezing room reading 52 degrees. The outside temperature that night was about 12 degrees. There was still no heat and no hot water. We contacted the front desk again and immediately checked out. Despite the room being unlivable and unsafe, management told us they would not issue a refund or credit. No heat. No hot water. No accountability.

It's a beautifully converted old mansion with manicured outdoor spaces and an elegant interior. The white tablecloth atmosphere delivers on the promise of a special night out. That said, if you're coming expecting a transportive Spanish dining experience, temper those expectations. A few decorative plates on the walls aside, the space reads more traditional Southern manor than Iberian escape. Charming, yes. Spanish, not really. Now the food, because that's where things get interesting. The cream of rice soup was a genuine highlight. Buttery, brothy, deeply comforting. The kind of dish that makes you lean in after the first spoonful. The baguette served alongside it though? Stale. Sliced too far in advance and the butter arrived ice cold, straight from the fridge. At $100 plus per person, that is a detail that matters. The Queso con Pacanas had beautiful individual components but suffered from what became a recurring theme of the night: strong flavors competing rather than collaborating. The pungent cheese steamrolled everything else on the plate. The wine soaked pears showed up again later on the Chuleta de Cerdo, and while the idea is lovely, serving a pear half unsliced in a fine dining context means you're asking the guest to do compositional work that the kitchen should have already done. The Jamón Iberico is the most expensive item on the menu and the meat itself is worth every penny. Nutty, buttery, exceptional on its own. But the parmesan blanketing the flatbread crisps overpowered it completely, and a lone raw garlic clove sitting on the plate with no instruction is not fine dining. Our server was sweet enough to explain you're meant to rub it on the cracker yourself, and she handled it with grace, but that explanation should not have been necessary. The Patatas Bravas were well seasoned with a solid aioli but landed mushy rather than crispy. A miss. The Gambas a la Plancha was the clearest win of the evening and not by coincidence. It was the simplest dish. Well seasoned shrimp, bright lemon butter, nothing fighting for attention. Sometimes restraint is the whole answer. The Chuleta de Cerdo had a beautifully cooked, smoky and peppery pork chop and a mushroom sauce that genuinely complemented it. But then the cinnamon heavy root vegetable puree pulled the whole plate in a completely different direction. Our server was genuinely wonderful, funny and warm and attentive even while training a new hire. She was the clearest bright spot of the service experience and the one thing we left talking about fondly. We left the rest of the meal a little baffled. The head chef hails from Valencia, and we were told that influence shows in the food. Maybe it does and our palates just weren't reading it. But between the confused flavor profiles, the inconsistent execution, and a cuisine identity that felt more scattered than intentional, we walked out laughing and scratching our heads more than satisfied. Beautiful place. Lovely server. The food just never quite found itself.
