What could have been a totally bad situation turned out favorably when Bianca took control. She made sure the birthday girl had a cake for us all to enjoy. She even covered the food for our friend. Her positive energy in the midst of an uncomfortable situation was a testament to her leadership. In addition, our server, Naphtali, was very patient and attentive. His soft-spoken and peaceful demeanor added to our ability to ultimately have an enjoyable outing. Again, Bianca, thank you so much for all you did to make our evening enjoyable.

We stood at the podium for 10 minutes and servers and the hostess passed us several times without acknowledging us or sitting us. We had a reservation. I ordered the chicken biscuit sandwich and subbed the reg eggs with egg whites. My dish came out great. I loved the spicy sauce it was accompanied by. My friend had the oxtail grits which she's had before and loved it. My rating is mostly for the initial walk on and experience. However, our food and server was good! There's street parking in the area but there's some homelessness in the area and feisty so just be diligent and careful.

I'll definitely be back because they have a bunch of things I want to try!

It was hard to choose. Server and cook were beautiful people in looks and how they spoke to us. They had chairs up but pulled one down for my 94 yr old Grandma to sit while we waited. From the shrimp and grits to the collard greens to the Mac and cheese. It was like you'd expect from "Holidays Only" meal. Truly bursting with flavor and EPIC. Every time I go home I'm eating there and I live on the West Coast. The location and limited parking is the only reason I wouldn't give 5 stars. It's not a reflection on the business just cramped in a small business area right on the road. Try them as soon as you can. You won't regret it!

Oh, I can't believe I didn't leave a review for the spot, even though I've been a few times though!…read moreIt's been a while, but man are they delicious. I would describe them as a combination of classic and elevated Latin food. The vibe of the restaurant is very casual, but the presentation of many of the dishes takes it to another level. They also have a wide selection of beer and wine. I have had tacos, octopus, breakfast tacos, and tamales. Everything was flavorful and quite tasty. I will admit service was a little slow the last time I went, but given the weather and the fact that we weren't in a rush it wasn't a big deal. If you haven't been yet, you should go. The colorful presentation reminds me of Palette 22, and rumor has it they are expanding to the Ethiopian restaurant that closed next door. I hope that's true!

Comfortable small restaurant. We told our waiter this was our 1st time here, so he offered…read moresuggestions. Funny thing is just about everything he suggested was something I was thinking of getting & debating, so that made it harder to decide. We had a nice table by the window & it was a moderately busy evening by the time we finished dinner so noise level had picked up. They have a couple tables outside too. Waiter was not as attentive as needed for refilling water, but he was only 1 there tending to indoor tables. I decided to order the Mole short rib. Presentation on ALL dishes served was beautiful. My short rib was very small piece of meat, but it was SO tasty & no fatty meat was served, which I was happy about. The rice served under was delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed my selection. The 2nd recommended dish, my husband had which was the Lime & Cilantro chicken. Though it looked beautiful, the chicken itself was a "strange cut". He said it was sort of part of breast & maybe part of attached portion of thigh? He also was not happy that it had the joint & small bone (not expected) along with a fatty piece of skin attached. He said chicken did not have much flavor nor did the black beans, but he said the rice was delicious. He did finish the entire dinner but wasn't a WOW to make us go back from his perspective. And because menu is small choices, he didn't find anything else he would want to order. My friend ordered the other recommended dish, Tamales. She asked for an extra chicken Tamales, which the waiter explained it's 1 potato&corn and 1 chicken & reason there would be an up charge if she was adding 2nd chicken. you normally get a veggie Tamales & chicken Tamales. She was fine with that, but when the plate came out, only 2 not 3 as she & I expected, although my husband said, he understood that waiter was substituting the veggie for the chicken even though our friend wanted all 3 & said as much. I can't comment too much on her dish for flavor other than looking lovely, but not exactly what I envisioned. She did eat majority & took rest home. She said it was good. We ordered guacamole app which came with chips. I felt it was a bit small of a serving for both chips & guacamole. I didn't try it, but everyone said it was good. We passed on dessert, nothing super appealing, limited items. However, they should add plantains to the dessert selection as I was tempted to order, but no one else wanted any. Plantains were on the dinner sides menu and noticed them earlier. Would I go back? Maybe, but it would have to be if I was in the area, after 6p for the free parking in the lot across the street or on a weekend.

The biggest disappointment was the less than lackluster service. They were not friendly or helpful. There was a lot of waiting and no attentiveness. They also screwed up my porridge by drowning it in coconut when I requested none. The coffee was not great either. The blood orange lemonade was top tier. My friend thought her lunch was ok but the potatoes that looked crispy were not at all. They did have a weird taste. The tables were pretty dirty and the staff was in zero rush to clean them off. That said, there is a convenient garage near it.

The breakfast sandwich is a two person meal; croissant with omelette on it, salad (fresh greens, tomato and red onion with balsamic vinegar), potato chips and fruit. I am so glad a patron warned us how big it was because if we had ordered two it would have been way too much. Really good though. The ambience is grandma's living room / antique shop rather than hip. They didn't have music blaring so I listened to my own with headphones. They have both comfy and table seating, more of the latter. Staff was friendly; service wasn't super fast but worth the wait. It got busier closer to noon.

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.

The pickle bar had dry sauerkraut and the pickles were mushy. Got home 8 hours ago and I'm still sick as a dog. My wife ordered her regular turkey sandwich with Russian dressing- turkey is always dry but this tasted old, old and dry. She threw out the 1/2 sandwich she couldn't eat. Even the iced tea was off- too strong and warm even with the ice cubes in it- I guess it was just brewed. Our server was mostly M.I.A.
