    I ordered the power breakfast quinoa bowl and it was such an underrated dish!! I was prepping for an upcoming trip so needed something that didn't put me to sleep. This gave me lots of every and kept me full all day! The mushrooms were delicious, along with the crunch of the kale. I would get this again. The service was friendly, and I enjoyed First Watch's usual homey feels.

    My party and I, thought that this place was very cute and cozy. And the food was incredible. But we felt the service was slightly slow and they forgot something that we ordered.

    We came here the day we arrived in Phoenix because it was close to where we were staying and needed something filling. First Watch is a reliable chain with consistent brunch quality in its locations. This location has a ton of seating, but the parking lot is small. We came in on a Saturday of a holiday weekend and there wasn't a wait! Our server was friendly, attentive, and quick. I ordered the elevated egg sandwich with seasoned potatoes on the side. The sandwich was good, especially since I was expecting an overcooked egg, but the yolk ran when I cut it in half, making it a bit messy to eat but nothing too bad. The other toppings were nice and balanced, so the sandwich didn't feel too heavy. It's a filling sandwich and great for when you've come from a flight. The potatoes were nice but a bit too salty.

    Great brunch spot! Came on a Sunday, didn't even wait, was seated right away. Tables were clean and already set pretty quickly, and the servers were friendly and efficient Servers were friendly and food came out quick. I ordered the BLT Eggs Benedict. I mean, put a hollandaise sauce and an avocado on anything, and the whole dish just tastes delicious! We sat outside, the weather was perfect for it. Plenty of parking too.

    First time here, great atmosphere, and great service. Food was very yummy. Highly recommend this breakfast spot!

    There's a good reason people are waiting outside to get in on the weekends. Homemade breakfast and lunch served quickly with ample portions. The variety of healthy items made this spot suitable for vegans, vegetarians and gluten-free diners. The giant pancakes, breakfast tacos and eggs Benedict were the favs. Slight alterations to entrées were welcomed with a smile and servers kept the hot coffee and tea coming! There are some great unique healthy juice offerings as well!

    The food is good but today while having a late breakfast here we had an unusual experience. I've been here a handful of times and it's always uneventful (which is a good thing). I enjoy the options here and how it's a bit healthier as you get a side with your eggs Benedict and I feel like the food here never leaves me feeling too weighed down. Today, however, I was yelled at by your server, Lauren when discussing the tea options with my child. At first I thought, perhaps I'm being sensitive but then I noticed what a difference there was in the tone after this one interaction. I even left without leaving a tip as I refuse to tip a person who speaks at me if I was their child when I wasn't even speaking to her, to begin with. I probably won't be eating at this First Watch again.

That said, my experiences with service have been inconsistent. My husband and I came in for breakfast one morning and, while the server seemed to be doing his best, he appeared overwhelmed and possibly understaffed. It took quite a while before we were greeted, and service throughout the meal felt slow as he juggled multiple tables. On a separate visit, I ordered takeout. Unfortunately, the hostess who greeted me wasn't very welcoming, and there was another noticeable wait before my food was ready. The pricing is a bit on the higher side, but I will say the burger itself was excellent--great flavor, a nice char, and a generous portion of fries. Overall, this place has a lot of potential given its atmosphere and food quality, but improving customer service--especially front-of-house friendliness and efficiency--would make a big difference. If you're already staying at the hotel, it's worth checking out, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to return.

The Crème Brûlée had not set properly and was runny and the caramelized sugar crust was not crispy at all, almost non existent. Maybe the real chef wasn't working that day. Ambience is ok but it does feel like a hotel restaurant...which is what it is. Not worth the money. The presentation of the food was great but looked better than it tasted. It's not cheap and there are far better places to spend your money

I ordered one of the side salads but I asked if I could have them add fresh pear to it because of course the name of the place is Perfect Pear Bistro so I was naturally craving pears. The ambience was cute and classy. I sat on the patio because it was gorgeous outside, but I did take a peek inside and it has a low lit upscale rustic vibe. There was plenty left in the salad after I housed my sandwich (elegantly) and I finally had to tap out and get a to-go box. Lovely little stop, would come back.

The oysters are a must, the steak is cooked perfectly, and everything is plated so thoughtfully it really feels like a full experience, not just a meal. The dinner staff has also always been attentive, friendly, and on point. That said, I recently came in for brunch and had a very different experience. I'm a huge pancake person, so I was excited to try the strawberry pancakes, but they were honestly disappointing. They were soggy, lacked any fluff, and had more of a cornbread texture than a pancake. The strawberry topping also wasn't very appetizing--it seemed like it was meant to be more of a sauce, but it didn't quite work. I completely understand that higher-end restaurants like to get creative with their dishes, but I think some basics like pancakes should still be done really well.

Everyone behind the bar kept my water topped up and the bar free of soiled napkins and empty glasses. Prices were extremely reasonable. Few drafts on tap and am extensive bar and cocktail selection. Definitely going to return back to enjoy the food, smelled wonderful.
