I am a fan already after dining here only one time. I previously ate at the location in Cranberry and thought I enjoyed that experience enough to be excited about visiting this First Watch today. But I must say, this set up feels so much better and it tops the Cranberry location by far.
We were warmly greeted upon entering and were quickly seated. I am sure timing was on our side for getting seated right away. I am certain they usually encounter fairly large crowds on a regular basis because of their limited hours of 7:00AM to 2:30 PM Monday-Sunday.
They do suggest trying their "Seat & Eat" quick order option. It's basically having your order already recorded and once you are seated the food preparation begins.
The dining room is very open and comfortable. The design is such that they can easily transform their tables and chairs into dining for 4 or 14 all with a twist of a table or two. Smart.
From what I gathered, the rustic theme of the restaurant is centered around several of the oversized wooden beams that came from a barn that had been torn down and repurposed throughout the dining space. They have bushel basket light fixtures hanging from the ceiling which further adds to the theme as well.
But the real treat is their fresh and exciting healthy menu options. The choices are plentiful and unique.
One bite of my club sandwich and soup said it all. They know what they are doing and they do it well!! My friends salad was appealing and plentiful. We left feeling nourished and completely satisfied knowing that we chose right and decided we are going to make it a point to come here on a routine basis.
