The last time I was at First Watch was about 10 years ago. Shame on me. It's not that the food is not good, or anything like that, but there are so many choices in the valley. Well here we are after a morning at the Desert Botanical Gardens. Yelps app said no wait so we drove here on purpose and the app was wrong. We waited about 25 minutes, then finally got seated. There is limited seating out front and from what I could tell limited parking. We were seated outside on the patio, we weren't asked if that is what we wanted. The patio is covered, and nice, but you have people with their dogs sitting next to you (I do love dogs), but one of our table mates on the patio had a barking dog and my quite relaxing meal was interrupted. The other thing that bothered me is that the people waiting to be seated are staring at you. Okay the food and the service are the reasons why this restaurant got 3 stars and not 1. Our waitress was very nice, answered all of our questions and provided fast timely service. The food was very good, but I have had better at other restaurants in the area. I think the damper that kind of pushed me over the edge was the fact that we were not given a choice of where to sit. If was a few weeks ago it would have been too hot to sit outside in the heat. I really think the people who do the seat planning should be asking their customers where they would like to sit, like they do a million places all over AZ. Will we be back. not to this location.
