| - I am not quite sure why they call this place "First Watch", as I can imagine it's because somebody or something is waiting for the first signs of the sun to come up in the morning. I think maybe it's because nobody woke up at this place and/or somebody is watching for the first one to wake up?? Or maybe after the First Watch they all go back to sleep!!!
We were seated OK with awake people... But that's about where everything fell off back to Snoozeville. Our waitress was more interested in clearing tables than serving us. It all began when our water glasses were so dirty and greasy that I mentioned it kindly to her. She never showed up the entire service to replace them. I drank my water out of my coffee cup. My partner ordered coffee initially, she did bring us a pot of hot SOUR brew... We were going to change it out for decaf but we never saw her. I had to get up and go hunting for for the creamer since the only creamer on our table was flavored and the regular half-and-half was gone. Then, we waited 10 more minutes; and finally, asked the other waitress if she could find her, so we can place our order ... we were starving.
My partner ordered a veggie burger since it was almost lunch, and I ordered a tri-athlete breakfast; which consisted of a white omelette with pico de gallo, fruit cup and whole-grain toast. My partner's burger was OK, nothing that special. She said she would consider ordering it again, although it came with a plate of dry lettuce. My white omelette had the texture of being cooked in the microwave; In other words, it tasted like a piece of rubber with canned green Hatch chilies and a side of bottled salsa. My plate had a little water or grease on it and so my toast was wet. I was so hungry I ate it anyways instead of complaining to a waitress who never showed back up!
I guess the idea of this restaurant is awesome, but from now on for breakfast, I think I'm going to go to local places where they do care about what they serve people and how; Instead of a chain where they're just trying to get through their shift. It truly showed in this place that they were just getting the job done.
Sorry for the lack of posted pics here. But there was nothing that beautious to capture.
