    Love, love, love First Watch, but I will never go back to this location. I ordered a carry out order for breakfast, and when I arrived there were 7 Uber Eats/GrubHub workers waiting for food. They said they had been there for at least 20 minutes & their food said it was ready... but no food. I waited 10 minutes after my order was supposed to be finished, asked if they had my order, the host said they are showing it in the system. I waited 20 minutes, asked if I missed it or if I should still be waiting, and another host said "20minutes is the shortest of our worries". I finally got my food 35 minutes after it said it was ready. When I got home, there was a small piece of raw chicken in my parfait. The entire restaurant was crowded with people trying to pickup food. My suggestion would be to have a feature that shows accurate ETA for food so that this doesn't happen. Multiple delivery drivers cancelled their orders, and by the time I left, there were 10 delivery drivers still waiting around. I felt so bad for them.

    Soo I had a breakfast date... BY MYSELF lol!!! I decided to grab some much needed food to nourish this here vessel of mine. Order: Eggs Benedict Salmon, Blueberry Pancake, & Coffee Pros: The eggs benedict was pretty good! The eggs were perfectly poached and the potatoes were cooked perfectly!!!! Coffee was great as well. Cons: Pancake had a crunch to it. I had to send it back for another one. However, it wasnt a huge deal breaker... I just like light and fluffy pancakes. The sauce on the eggs Benedict had an interesting lemon taste to it. Wasn't a huge fan. I wish there was additional salmon lol.

    The ambiance, the service, and the food get 5 stars. The location was pretty busy for a Monday at brunch, but our food came out relatively quick and our server was very attentive. I ordered eggs florentine while my friend ordered the chicken pesto hash. He said that his meal's flavor combination was out of this world! My eggs florentine were also pretty spot on, the hollandaise sauce was extremely fresh and the house potatoes were extremely tasty! The coffee was also really good. Highly recommend giving it a try!

    What I expected

    Usually this place delivers for me but this time it fell a little flat. I tried out the chickichanga and ordered via Uber Eats. What I got is pictured below. I think I was honestly most disappointedly the temperature of the food and the quantity of fruit. Considering that the fruit side is considered in the total price, the fact that I received a total of four grapes (and that's it) was disappointing, even a little laughable. If you don't have enough fruit for an adequate side, sub with something comparable, or adjust the price. Don't give a customer four grapes. The entree, while a little hastily and poorly constructed, was still flavorful. I thought the lemon crema was a little too lemony, but that might just be personal preference. My side of sour cream helped counter the high acidity that distracted from the rest of the dish. I also added hot sauce from home and helped to jazz things up. Potatoes were good and well seasoned, not too salty. I understand there's a lot of stuff that could have contributed to the preparation of this meal, and I've had good food before, so maybe this was just an off day. I'll still order again, but maybe buy my own fruit instead.

    AM superfood bowl (chia seed pudding + fruit, toast with almond butter) about $10

Based on her suggestions, I ordered the Southern Spring Rolls and the Loaded Brussels sprouts with feta and cranberries; both were phenomenal, especially the dipping sauces she provided for the rolls. My main course, the Arch City Burger, was cooked to perfection on a nicely toasted bun, and the Caesar salad I ordered as a starter was fresh and crisp although dressing was average not my preference. To finish, both the Night Shift martini and complimentary tiramisu were delicious. While I had an overall excellent experience and plan to return soon, I did want to provide some constructive feedback regarding the beverages here. I was disappointed that bottled water was unavailable. Additionally, I found the $17+ price point for pre-batched cocktails to be quite high, as I generally prefer a freshly made drink. However, I was very pleased that Dane was able to accommodate my request for a fresh Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned instead. Thank you again for a lovely lunch and pass my compliments along to Dane for her outstanding hospitality!

    First time at Derive…read more Good amount of parking. The space is somewhat small but is done well. The bar has a good vibe and is where I sat. I got the Korean BBQ smash burger topped with Korean BBQ aioli, Cleveland Kraut Kimchi, gochugaru (korean chili flake) and scallion. I don't understand the smash burger craze since I like my burgers medium rare, but if I have to eat a smash burger to enjoy these toppings, I'm in! The heat, texture and combination of flavors were epic. The fries are well done too! They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and this was even after 30 minutes. Nothing fancy but done amazingly well and very quickly. My burger was out in a few minutes. I will say that the pizzas I saw coming out of the kitchen will have me coming back to try one of them. The beer was good, although I'll admit that the heat from the burger affected my pallet to truly enjoy the beers since I got a tasting flight. I was here on a Friday night between 5:45 and 7 and it was filling up until I was ready to head out. They do have happy hour on Friday from 2-5pm for $1 off pints.

This one didn't offer one, which was a general disappointment (and offering to be might benefit them-- the place was dead for most of the two hours we were there). The space is beautiful and luxurious: a lovely fountain is in the center and signature chandeliers fill the dining area. I was a little disappointed that the choices of seating were were given -- though the place was empty-- was either a very small table (so small our servers apologized for having to awkwardly stack things as dishes came out) or a table attached to the only other large party dining there. Felt like a very strange choice. Also, while the place is very upscale and very expensive, that vibe was somewhat at odds with other diners who did arrive in what literally looked like old pajama pants and workout gear. The food was all good, but portions are very small for the big prices: entrees are all in the $50 range, sandwiches in the $30 range. A "petite" baked potato (which is petite indeed) was $14; burrata was $26. It was fine, but you can have a true consistently upscale experience elsewhere for those kinds of prices. I'd come back -- if there was a happy hour!

They were very forgiving to me not liking the drink, got the wrong side and offered to bring the correct one out. Left the broccolini on the table aswell. I really enjoyed my lunch, I had lamb . Which was mad fantastically. The petite lamb chops were very easy to eat. And so tender, I got them pink. Shrimp was OK. I got the cucumber mojito which was amazing aswell. Definitely pay for the experience but worth every penny in my opinion. I would love to come back and visit to try more dishes.
