I've been meaning to try brunch here for a very long time so this past Sunday, I treated myself as…read morea way to reward myself for having a successful first week back to school with my students. The restaurant has great communication when you make reservations they texted me a code for their free parking about two hours before my reservation although when I got there, there was a man in a booth inside the entrance and told me no code was needed. There was plenty of parking as I had an early reservation for brunch, even though when I left, there was still a lot of parking available so I parked near the elevator that takes you directly up to the entrance. I sat at a table just passed a hostess stand, looking onto Colesville Road. It was pleasant. My waiter, Jhoiner was very pleasant and very professional. He explained how the buffet line worked and took an order from me for a cheese omelette ( they were out of mushrooms). I started with a maid to order waffle while I waited for my omelette, and it was probably my favorite thing at the buffet! They had a variety of toppings, but I just went with strawberries, maple syrup, and powdered sugar. The French toast was also good but nothing out of the ordinary. I had a little bit of all the things I loved, and I was extremely full after an hour. I did however, save room for one of their tiny lemon, posset desserts. They serve this at their sister restaurant in Silver Spring so I was excited to end my meal with this dessert. Tip is automatically added. Even though the menu stated that the tip was 18%, they added 20. I'm not going to fuss over 2% because I was happy with my service. I'm looking forward to coming back for happy hour in the near future.

Let's start by saying I LOVE the happy hour here because it's all night! I honestly don't think…read moreI've been to another place with an all-night happy hour like this. We decided to try a little bit of everything from the appetizer menu. Lamb Meatballs -- 4/10: Good flavor, but unfortunately they were cold. Korean-Style Ribs -- 7/10: Not enough meat, but the sauce was really good and I loved how crispy they were. Wagyu Sliders -- 9/10: Delicious! I just wish they had a little more sauce. Buttermilk Fried Oysters -- 8/10: Really good, and I especially loved the dipping sauce. Crabcakes -- 10/10: Every single one was perfect. Easily my favorite thing we ordered! The restaurant got pretty packed, which I expected because of the all-night happy hour. Just keep in mind that the happy hour is only honored at the bar. The staff was cool, the restaurant itself is really nice, and the bathrooms were surprisingly clean. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely stop by again!

But sometimes, even the best experiences can take an unexpected turn! So, my son surprised me yesterday with a call to tell me he had ordered breakfast delivery for my birthday. I was excited to learn it was from First Watch, my favorite breakfast spot. My anticipation grew as I opened the sealed bag, revealing the packed breakfast boxes ready to be enjoyed. However, my mood shifted after I removed a couple of boxes and noticed the plastic silverware pouch had been opened. The fork was missing and the opened silverware pack raised concerns, making me question the attention to detail and packaging standards. After noticing the packaging issues, I began to wonder about the cleanliness of the rest of the order. Sadly, some items fell short of expectations -- the waffle was soggy, the eggs were stiff and cold, and the potatoes were simply mediocre. The one thing i did enjoy was the fresh fruit bowl which was the highlight of the meal. This experience left me feeling sorely disappointed, I can only give this experience three stars, and that's being generous. First Watch Silver Spring, I hope you take this feedback seriously, as quality control truly matters.

I've been twice and have received the same service each time. Sundays can be hectic but that's expected for most breakfast and brunch spots . This spot has a big menu which made it hard to choose but everything I've had was really good. The bartender I had was a guy with dreads I believe, and he was very knowledgeable about everything there and he made great drinks. He was very professional and he ran that bar well. I don't know why it took me so long to stop in this spot but I'm glad I did. If you're thinking about going don't think about it anymore-just go. There's something on the menu for everyone to enjoy..

No refund, no call back from a manager. Just save your money, you don't want the headache.

The food quality is great because it's comforting, locally and sustainably sourced. And you never feel rushed because this restaurant values their customers. Dining here I admired how my needs were anticipated and everyone here was a regular, not just a number. That will always be a win in my book and will have me coming back for more. I loved eating in the open bay. But they also have a patio & are family & dog friendly. I order most of the brunch specials: -espresso martini affogato (was so so, a bit too strong but I'm usually a Bellini girl) -challah Nutella stuffed French toast (sooo good! I usually love waffles but these were cooked perfectly aka not soggy & very flavorful) I would get this again -Chesapeake Benedict (Loved it, all meat, no filler in the crabs) -Salmon omelette -Shrimp & grits

Our server was "James" who was absolutely amazing as he was very nice and attentive to our needs to include serving our birthday cake at the end. He even helped me as I had a severe blood sugar drop and he got me peanut butter from the back to help stabilize me. Anyhow, the food was amazing, we ordered raw oysters which were fresh I swear they came out the ocean that minute. My son had my favorite which was the lamb chops which are the best I've ever had period, super tender and well seasoned. I had the Branzino which was served butterflies which is a little different than what I'm used to but it was light, flaky and seasoned perfectly, spot on. A definite choice for dinner.

The crab sandwich was really good, however I would have liked a little more crab cake. Shoe string fries were really good as well. The seafood salad had a lot of food. We sat outside which was wonderful. Good overlook of the courtyard. The waiter was green, but was friendly and tried hard to get stuff right. I would recommend to give this place a try.

In the garage you must pay attention to where you exit to assure you are on the same street as this restaurant. We entered at a dimmly lit area of the restaurant in which you had to go upstairs. Once on the upper level there was the hostess; had a very dry welcoming to him as a greeter. I didnt do the chatting with him. We sat at the bar to be greeted with a mellow and seemingly dry attitude bartender, whom eventually became chatty and friendly. It was happy hour time. So we had the option to order from the Happy Hour or regular menu. Our drink orders were taken (happy hour menu) and appetizers. We decided on a mule and margarita pair with wings (bang bang grilled) and duck spring rolls. The drinks came out okay. And the appetizers were too. At some point a burger was ordered and came out without being the temperature of med well. A bartender over heard that it was not of request and quickly took such back. Im a few minutes it was remade to order and was again ok. At some point I flagged down a bartender and We order a repeat of drinks after not being attended to or checked on numerous time will waiting more then 30 minutes for our burger. Bartenders did not check to see if we wanted more drinks. Due to the hiccups, the bartender voluntarily comp our drinks.

But of you turn right - a parking garage is right there with reasonable parking prices. Miss Toya is located under the stairs so don't miss it. Service was great. Jabari did a good job. Now on to the food. So I was satisfied with the menu but not amazed. I lived in the Mississippi Gulf for 5 years and I was really expecting a New Orleans vibe. It wasn't as much as I expected and therefore ended up ordering a salad with Salmon which was good. The score is really a 3.5 but I rounded up.

One of the highlights was the bottomless brunch, which made for a fun and enjoyable experience. The food was full of flavor and tasted fresh. Every dish was well-seasoned that keeps you coming back for more. The portions were satisfying, and everything arrived hot and beautifully presented. What stood out the most was the hospitality. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. The only downside to our visit was the live band performing inside the restaurant. While the music added to the atmosphere, it was so loud that we couldn't comfortably hear the people at our table or have a conversation. Because of the noise level, we ultimately chose to move to the outdoor seating, where we were able to enjoy our meal and each other's company much more comfortably.

I got the taste of Africa sampler, the jollof rice was not bad, the texture wasn't quite right, the sauce on the side was spicy and flavorful. The wings were delicious, spicy, and crunchy. The calamari was seasoned and prepared well, but it was cold, what I liked the most on the plate was the suya, which on its own didn't have much flavor, but tasted really good when I dipped it in the spicy sauce. Overall a good experience, but instead of just vibes and esthetics, I think they could work on bettering the execution of their food.
