    When I asked the blonde lady if the music would be this loud the entire time at 7:00am, she initially didn't hear me and I had to repeat myself. She responded by saying that they like to keep the music at this volume. Despite this, we decided to leave.But if you like extremely loud music this is your place to be.

    The food was delicious and the service was excellent! The feeling of the restaurant was very upbeat!

    Haven't had brunch at First Watch in a while and this location was really good. Large parking lot and no wait. The atmosphere has a little something to be desired with all the traffic and the location isn't perfect when you're on the frontage road between two busy streets, but I also understand they can only do so much. Quibell, our server was fantastic. Super smiley and puts the customer first. I hope they're paying her well. I loved my French toast and I'm not a French toast guy; my spouse was a little underwhelmed with their food / taste. Payment is super easy by using your smart phone to scan a QR code on your receipt.

    Fresh juices!

    Ate here (East Ray location) with a group of friends early in the morning on a Sunday and everything was wonderful. Our server -Vanessa- was incredible, so thoughtful and on top of it. Everything was fresh and flavorful and a few small customization requests were met with cheerful enthusiasm. Can't wait to eat here again.

    lemon ricotta pancakes

    First Watch is always on my to do list when I visit AZ and this visit was wonderful like the rest. The lemon ricotta pancakes had me, a certified pancake hater, eating half the plate before I realized what was going on. The blueberry lemon cornbread was to DIE for and one of my favorite seasonal menu items. The kale tonic drink also hits the spot and charges me up for the day. Service was friendly as always and made me feel very welcome. Can't wait to visit again!

    The food and service were great. Our waitress Elaine was great! Definitely try the bacon and potatoes. So good

    Pumpkin donut holes

    Definitely not your generic breakfast spot, and I mean that as a compliment. Ham and Gruyère cheese omelette was amazing. Pumpkin donut holes (seasonal) were exceptional. The service awesome!

    A cute little breakfast joint hidden on the outskirts of the freeway. I just got the Belgium waffle and it was good. Nothing special or spectacular but fair for it to stand out amongst other breakfast restaurants Belgium waffles. Not really fulfilling - so if I ever go to a first watch again I would order something different. Service was a little slow for a Sunday early morning before the brunch rush.

    Hey, what's your favorite brunch item? I want to try this place.

    Parma hash

    Will you guys be airing the Preakness or the derby this year? And would it be OK environment to bring a small child three years old to watch with us?

    My guess is no since they have no TV's, hope that helps.

    When will this restaurant reopen after the vehicle crash on October 30th 2019?

I normally get the sunrise breakfast sandwich and it hits the spot. I love how they toast the bread with butter so it's extra delightful when you bite into the sandwich. They also have fresh squeezed orange juice! The service to me has always been normal- not over the top but also just enough to know you are being taken care of. Perfect when I'm half awake on the weekend. The weekends can get pretty busy but there is a good amount of parking available. Coffee is pretty good for a fast casual restaurant as well + a fairly good price.

    First off all I don't like giving bad reviews especially to a neighborhood joint so I'm giving it…read morethree stars because I need to try Scramble again. Also the coffee was surprisingly good. One thing to know is there is no table service. You order at the counter and they have a lot of choices so if you have never been there it's hard to decide while other people are waiting behind you. I came with my mom and we were craving pancakes so again didn't get any eggs which is what they are known for and their breakfast pizzas. So I'll come back to try those. We split buttermilk pancakes and a cinnamon roll. They do have real maple syrup but of course they up charge for the good stuff. The pancakes are ok but don't taste like buttermilk pancakes. They looked good but it definitely tasted like a mix and not a good one. They were way overly sweet. They weren't terrible but just not great. 4/10 on the pancake scale. The cinnamon roll also tasted like a store bought premade roll. It was also kind of burnt and didn't taste like anything. The only good thing was the coffee which I was highly skeptical about because it was serve yourself from a carafe. But it was good and strong. Nice views of the mountains and the patio is dog friendly. I want to like this place because it's in my neighborhood so next time I'll try the eggs dishes. Also they have several veggie/vegan selections so I'll come back for those too and to bring my dog.

    The Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort has a beautiful setting with incredible mountain views, great…read morewalking areas, and a classic Arizona resort feel. The staff was friendly throughout our stay, and the overall property has a relaxing atmosphere that makes it easy to enjoy the sunshine and scenery. We booked an upgraded suite with a separate bedroom and TV room, which gave us plenty of space to spread out. While the layout was great, the room itself could use some updates. The bathroom fixtures were older--the Kohler toilet didn't flush well and was a bit noisy, and the tub/shower combo had rounded sides that made it tricky to stand comfortably. The shower water also never got fully hot. The room had a slightly musty smell, and the carpets would benefit from a deep cleaning. The balcony screen door didn't close tightly, which let a few flies in, and access to the second floor required two sets of stairs since there's no elevator in that section. Even with those issues, the resort's location, views, and overall vibe made the stay enjoyable. With some room refreshes and a bit more maintenance attention, this could easily be a standout property. The setting alone is worth experiencing.

    I was looking for a good staycation while also earning American Airlines AAdvantage miles and…read moreloyalty points to maintain my status for another year. I found a great AAdvantage Hotel deal at the Hilton Phoenix Tapatio Cliffs Resort and booked it. While it was a great success of a visit in terms of AAdvantage miles and loyalty points, my actual experience at the hotel itself was less to be desired due to the customer service and a big snafu on their part. I also have Hilton Gold status, though as I booked the hotel through a third party site (AAdvantage Hotels), I could see the stay and the stay history in my Hilton app, but I did not receive any benefits for staying there, which was fine as I didn't expect any anyone. I arrived in person to check in and already reserved and prepaid for a King 1 Bedroom Standard Suite, which had a nice view and reasonably spacious room (but not too much larger than a regular room at another hotel). The room was certainly not upgraded though there was parking available right in front of the entrance. I did not receive anything else at check-in nor did it appear that I'd get my regularly complimentary water. I did pay the daily resort charge which includes high speed internet access, access to the Falls Water Village, an hour at the tennis/pickleball court, an hour at the afternoon golf practice facility, two hours for a mountain bike rental, 20% off seasonal spa services, and 15% off select golf apparel. While I didn't use it, I had easy view and access to the Falls Water Village where you could lounge and play all day on their sun-marked terrace where you could find free-form pools, hot tubs, and cabanas. They even have a 138-foot enclosed water slide. When I checked out, I was told that a bill would be sent to me shortly since I did it on the app early, and when I received the bill, there was a charge for my room at the restaurant at the top of the hill called A Different Point of View. The catch is that I never went to eat there during my stay (or at any onsite restaurant since I live in the area and had my meals offsite). I reached out to the hotel who insisted that I did go there to eat. I promised them I didn't eat anywhere onsite and that they need to look at the receipt and see if it actually has my room number. They confirmed it did and that this meant I ate there. I told them to find my name on it and let me know if it was on there. After several more back and forth conversations, they confirmed it wasn't me and would remove the charge. They then mistakenly charged me double. Then they removed one charge, but it took more than a week before they removed the other charge. By the end of the exchanges, it felt like they were blaming me for their own mistake. While the resort is aged and rather pleasant, there certainly are training issues regarding the customer service offered at this property. I do not plan on staying here again in the future.
