    On Friday morning, I had a work meeting with my employee here and she arrived first & grabbed a table near the window, which I love. Lots of parking near the door and across the way & I actually snagged one in the shade as it was already 80 degrees outside. I skipped the hostess but motioned to her that I saw my party and as soon as I sat down, our server asked if I'd like a glass of water - yes please! She had already placed 2 coffee mugs and a coffee urn on the table, which I LOVE. When I want a coffee refill, I don't want to have to wait for the server to come back around. The same was done with the water - great way to keep your servers efficient, management. The server gave us a minute to look at the menu and we both chose the trifecta - me with the waffle and she with the pancake. I had ordered my eggs over-medium and they came out fine. I love my bacon crispy but my 1st piece was a little like beef jerky! I picked up another piece, hoping for better and it was fine. Very crispy, so maybe they want to pull it out before it gets too tough. I loved the waffle - kind of hard to mess that up but it was very good and with the little bowl of jam (or sort of a fruit puree but not really) to top it. The syrup arrives warm and stays warm - very nice! Our service was awesome, which one would expect, since they were practically empty (see photos) at 9am. But by the time we left, around 10:30 - there was not an empty seat in the place! That's when those coffee urns really come in handy. I did feel bad because we didn't notice until we placed our order that there were no electrical outlets for me to plug in my laptop (it's old and doesn't hold a charge long), so we waited until after we ate to have our meeting and had to move to a booth to use the receptacle. Our server was a little disappointed that we didn't order anything, so we tried to keep our business meeting VERY short. Sorry! The only negative I have is to please clean your restroom!!! After a great meal, the last thing you want is to step into a room that smells like urine! And only 2 stalls - no! There were people waiting when I walked in and when I walked out and we ALL commented about the awful smell. Bleach the sinks and floors and for goodness sake get a lemony-smelling plug-in.

    I absolutely LOVE First Watch!! It is my go to breakfast/brunch place and it never lets me down. I have never had a problem with any service, it gets busy sometimes but I never wait too long to be sat. I love how much seating there is and how bright and lively it is inside. I definitely recommend the eggs Benedict and the honey caramel crunch coffee (if you like sweet coffee)!

    Have been a First Watch before. This is a good one. The waiter we had was very friendly and helpful. The wait was short but we had a reservation. Best to do so especially during a weekend. The pancakes were fluffy and tasty. One downside was the eggs benedict arrived with the eggs way too runny, I sent them back and by the time I got them re fired it was with the same side (which was cold by then) and after my entire party had already eaten. Hoping may our next visit will be better

    Very busy Sunday brunch rush hour. We were served quickly and efficiently. The food was very filling and satisfying as everything was hot, flavorful, and complex. The carne asada hash was a full assortment of eggs, crispy potatoes, peppers, cheese and topped with avocado. It also came with tortillas for making delicious breakfast tacos. The donuts were super sweet when dipped in chocolate and the jam. I would get the carne asada dish when I was looking for a flavorful and very filling dish to hold you over a long day of traveling.

    Breakfast at First Watch was great! The food we ordered was delicious. I had a seasonal breakfast plate with a pumpkin pancake. It's was really delicious. My wife ordered herself the Tri-fecta which she also enjoyed. The server was very polite and showed us some recommendations on the menu since it was our first time. We were able to get there at a good time and we noticed that it gets pretty busy. We will definitely stop by there again for breakfast. Great place over all.

    The food is always cooked to order and fresh. I have eaten at the franchise in Fort Worth and Dallas. I have never had any regrets. The selections are good and there appears to be something for everyone on the menu. The service is always fast and friendly. The wait staff never seem bothered about questions regarding menu selections and most wait staff are eager to share their favorite dish from the menu. The ambiance is rather modern and the atmosphere gives off a good vibe for families or people looking to catch up over a great meal. I have also dined here alone several times. There is plenty to see on most days. If you are looking for a brunch type of menu for anytime of the day, come and try out this place. Most locations can get busy really quick but the wait on a busy day is usually 20 minutes.

Our event coordinator had already been in contact with each hotel's sales team regarding room blocks, but my fiancé and I wanted to personally see the properties before recommending them to 30-40 hotel room blocks. Although we arrived after sales office hours, Liz at the front desk was exceptionally kind. She walked us through the restaurants commonly used for private events, explained the renovation timeline, and invited us to take our time exploring before returning to the front desk to view a standard guest room. Unfortunately, our experience changed when another employee, who later identified himself as Clayton, a manager, stepped in. It appeared he had been listening to our conversation but had not introduced himself. He abruptly informed us that we would not be able to view a room. We explained that our event coordinator was already working with the sales manager regarding room blocks and pricing, and that we were simply trying to ensure we felt confident recommending the hotel to our family and friends. Despite understanding the situation, he remained unwilling to accommodate the request. His only suggestion was that we purchase a room if we wanted to see one. For us, this interaction spoke volumes. Hospitality isn't just about beautiful rooms--it's about making potential guests feel welcomed and valued. If this was the experience we received as prospective clients considering multiple wedding events and dozens of room nights, it gave us pause about what our guests might experience. As a result, we will likely to move our room block, welcome dinner, Saturday event, and Sunday brunch where we're met with warmth, flexibility, and genuine hospitality from the moment we arrive. The Joule is undeniably a beautiful property, but customer service plays a major role in our decision-making. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling that our business was neither appreciated nor wanted.
