    Avocado Toast

    Horrible Avocado Toast Experience I honestly don't know what First Watch was thinking when they handed me this box and called it avocado toast. What I got looked like someone scooped half-mashed avocado from the trash, plopped it onto a sad piece of bread, and sprinkled disappointment on top. The bread was soggy, the avocado looked gray and lifeless, and it was all tossed into the container like an afterthought. For the price they charge, this is insulting. I could've made a better version blindfolded with a half-rotten avocado from the back of my fridge. If this is what First Watch considers quality, then they seriously need to reevaluate their standards. Save your money and go anywhere else this was a total letdown.

    We had the best service while eating brunch here. We had a group of 10 and everyone was pleased with the food and seating arrangement.

    Million Dollar Breakfast Potatoes

    All star service! Ambiance is cozy. Juices are amazing. The French toast was burnt on one side. The breakfast potatoes are not browned and crispy. Grits are settled and solid. Breakfast tacos were tasty!

    Steak hash

    Went with my in-laws and two small children. Food was great. Kids loved their food. Big portion and great taste on our food. Service was ok, the server forgot my father-in-law's juice. After reminding her, she brought it over. FIL didn't like there were too much onion and mushroom on his food. Egg Benedict, steak hash and Belgian waffle were good.

    We visit at least once a year when Osage Beach. The food is terrific and we always get amazing service. My only complaint is that the a/c temp made it feel like we were in a walk-in freezer. Next time I will bring a sweater. My bacado omelet was delicious and my hubby loved his Belgian waffle.

    yummy

    We stopped at First Watch for lunch. We had the best service - our waiter was very friendly and speedy. We got our food right away. I thoroughly enjoyed the tomato basil soup with ham & cheese. It was also a very generous portion. We will definitely be back!

    First Watch is a favorite of mine for breakfast and the Osage Beach location was definitely up to par. It's a beautiful modern restaurant with elevated breakfast choices. I had the BLT eggs Benedict. It was delicious and the egg perfectly poached. The lemon dressed greens on top are a perfect addition. My mom had The Works omelette, which was full of ingredients and she really enjoyed it. Service was super friendly and quick. Highly recommended!

    A solid place to stop by!…read more We came during an extended weekend trip for lunch, drinks, and the pool. We were seated pretty quickly but this place DOES fill up fast (that includes the pool). The front has a place to order different t shirts from the wall then there's a small indoor seating area and a lot of patio seating outside. We ordered the jumbo crab rangoons, jalapeno poppers, and club sandwich. Although there was a bit of a wait the food was good and had good portion sizes which helps if you're there day drinking. Our waitress was friendly and helpful although a bit on the slower side with checking in and bringing items we requested. We waited about 20 minutes to get boxes and our checks. If you walk down the stairs from the restaurant there's the gated pool area. As it was summer it was packed even on a weekday. There's bars and bathrooms right next to the pool as well as a swim up bar. This was helpful since we had to get out to order drinks we at least didn't have to go far. Although it was a nice vibe I didn't enjoy that it felt like a hot tub especially in the summer and while drinking. In knowing a large amount of ppl come for the pool I would've hoped they cooled the water down & circulated the water better. Additionally a bit of added staff or security would be helpful to ensure ppl aren't getting ridiculous. I saw someone passed out in a chair from drinking too much and someone else falling over into the chairs unable to walk because of how intoxicated they were. Ofc we're all adults and should be able to control our drinking but ppl prove that theory wrong every time. It caused a bit of an issue with ppl & their stuff being trampled by ppl too drunk to walk and no staff around to help. For those who don't know the added another add on to the location off to the right side of the property. This includes a stage for performances which is cool! Although there isn't a restaurant like there is at the main pool there are food trucks which is a cool concept to get different types of food. Overall will be back to check out the other side.

There was a 5-10 minute wait to be seated which was not bad at all. Of course this was off season, so can't imagine what peak season is like here. Waiter knew his stuff well. Explained the specials and what to expect. I ordered a sirloin steak. Medium rare. Ordered it with fries and the veggies off the day. We got our Caesar salad and it was good! About 10-15 minutes later got our meal. Fries were perfect. Veg was nice. Steak however was medium well. I brought it to the attention of our waiter and he promptly apologized and took it back. Got a new one back in about 10 minutes. Steak was medium well again. I mentioned this and he offered to take it back, but I refused. Kinda disappointed for a steak spot that they can't cook to temp perfectly. It was fairly tough to cut through and could have used more seasoning. The sear and grill marks were perfect. I tried my friends salmon and it was perfect. So if you come here, skip the steak and go with the fish.

    Our first visit to Encore and it definitely won't be our last!…read more The atmosphere alone is worth the trip. The upper level has a more upscale feel, with a beautiful dining room and an incredible covered outdoor space complete with a stage for live music. The massive windows and stunning views overlooking the peninsula make it the perfect spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy the evening. As for the food... wow. I had the crab legs, which were cooked perfectly, but can we talk about the green beans for a minute? They were ridiculously good. If licking the bowl in public wasn't frowned upon, I might have considered it. Colin ordered the salmon, which was absolutely beautiful and served with rice pilaf. Chris went with the crab-crusted walleye, and it was cooked to perfection. Emma Grace chose the giant pretzel, and giant is an understatement, it was the size of a dinner plate! It came with an assortment of charcuterie-style accompaniments that were fantastic all on their own. Then came dessert, and somehow things got even better. The bread pudding was hands-down one of the best I've ever had. I don't eat bread pudding often, but this one may have ruined all future bread puddings for me. We also shared the cheesecake and cookie skillet, and every bite was delicious. To top it all off, our waitress Makayla was absolutely wonderful and made the entire experience even better. Great food, beautiful views, amazing service, and a fantastic atmosphere. Encore knocked it out of the park. We'll definitely be making a return trip next summer!

We informed the server I was celiac and my mom has a dairy allergy. She made sure everything was safe for us and confirmed with the kitchen on any questions we had. She was fantastic and we had a great experience. I ordered the ratatouille lasagna which came with 2 sides. I had the baked potato and vegetable medley. The food was very tasty! Highly recommend this place!
