    elevated egg sandwich
    Ruth S.

    Family friendly place, with a wide menu perfect for brunch! I got the carne asada breakfast tacos but preferred the original better. Everyone was satisfied with their food! We went on a busy day so the service wasn't the greatest but would definitely go again for a better experience.

    Steak and eggs Chimichurri.

    We had the Steak and eggs chimichurri. It was quick, hot, and wonderfully seasoned. Our server John was top notch. Gordon Ramsey would hire this young man. The atmosphere was peaceful, bright , and very clean. A new favorite. Oh not mention the coffee was right up there too!

    This was our first trip here. I have been itching to go here for breakfast, but usually hard to hit up with a five day work week. We were surprised coming in. It wasn't as difficult to get a table for brunch. After being seated, they quickly took our order and sent it to the kitchen. I would say preparation time may be longer than the typical breakfast joints around here. I had the Floridian French toast, which looked exactly like the menu picture, which is great. It was spot on for taste and just the right amount of sweetness. My wife got the seasonal maple bacon and egg croissant sandwich, which was a bit on the sweeter side. The potatoes unfortunately were over salted and almost difficult to eat. Overall, I'll have to give it another try to make up my mind whether I truly like it over the other breakfast options in Southwest Fort Wayne.

    New First Watch!!

    It just opened and had a long wait time. It's a large space, has outdoor seating and also some alcoholic drinks on the menu. Once the newness settles down I hope it will be a fun delicious spot

    Third visit to First Watch today. Got seated immediately, a pleasant surprise! Our server, Jacquelin, could not have better! Husband had the summer menu special, the Elote Burrito (partially eaten and pictured below). It's a grilled tortilla filled with chorizo, scrambled eggs, freshly seasoned potatoes, diced red bell pepper, 2cheeses, black beans and avocado, topped with Vera Cruz hollandaise, roasted corn salsa, Cotija cheese, house-pickled red onions, chipotle aioli, Tajin® and cilantro. HUGE! He said, although filling, he'd definitely order it again! I chose a cup of Italian Wedding soup (not pictured), which was good, but their tomato bisque is even better. Also the "healthy menu" item: Avocado Toast on a slice of their whole grain, wonderful artisan toast (had them top it with tomato), which was accompanied by 2 perfectly basted eggs. It was delicious but I think chef was a bit heavy handed, per my taste, with the Maldon sea salt over all. We love that their wonderful coffee comes to the table in its own pot, and water ice cold in a carafe. All in all, another very satisfying experience!

    We had a great experience! The service was great and the food was super fresh. Grateful for the coffee on the table. The million dollar bacon was awesome to start with. My husband got the chicken chonga with million dollar potatoes and fruit. I got the maple chipotle chicken hash from the season menu with cheesy grits! It was all wonderful! If you are concerned about the wait time, it's a huge benefit to use the in line list on the website while you are driving in!

    I was visiting a friend and he suggested this because he had never been. We were seated right away but then sat for over 10 minutes before being acknowledged. We finally stopped a server and asked if we had a server for our table. They said they were alert our server. Another server stopped by to say she wasn't ur server about to take drink orders. Then finally our server comes up, with no apology and asked if we were ready to order. Of course we were, we had been sitting for close to 20mins now. The orange juice is not fresh squeezed so I went with an iced tea. I ordered the eggs Benedict plain with no meat and the potatoes. My friend got the farmhouse hash. We both enjoyed our food. The absentness of the server and lack of empathy for waiting around is enough for us to say we won't go back and to not recommend it.

    Location is good. Plenty of parking. Friendly staff. Decent amount of seats and booths. Our waitress was fairly new, so she forgot our water three times, but I understand. Coffee was delicious but really strong. I got a buzz from it, lol. I like how they give you the coffee pot thermal at the table so you can refill your own drink. I also liked the glass that had our water was in, which you can also pour your own water at any time. I was glad I could substitute my potatoes for an arugula salad. I was hoping the omelet would be bigger, like a long rectangular shape, not a half circle, for $15.00. They could have put more chorizo in my omelet. The toast was delicious. My friend got the skillet and asked for the whites to be done and extra crispy bacon, which both were not, unfortunately. The atmosphere was amazing and made you feel like you were at home! Overall, I really appreciate this establishment and can't wait to try other things on the menu. I truly believe we lack breakfast restaurants in Fort Wayne. This place serves breakfast all day long!

    Eggs Benedict With Salmon
    Zhanna C.

    Really liked the place--clean, minimalistic vibe with a calm, no-fuss atmosphere. The food was solid with a nice mix of options on the menu. Portion sizes are very European (you'll get it once you see the plate), but the flavors make up for it. Despite being pretty busy, the service was surprisingly attentive and friendly. Overall, a great little spot that knows what it's doing.

    Hubby and I have breakfast for lunch, always a great choice. We had Fritatta Rustica, Multigrain Pecan carrot cake pancakes (2), and a Mint Mocha Iced coffee. The iced coffee was on the seasonal menu, a great tasting choice! Needless to say we had leftovers to enjoy again! The pancake tasted just like a carrot cake, and covered the whole large plate.

    Avocado toast and the Trifecta

    The food was delicious! You must try the blueberry lemon cornbread - it was amazing! The iced coffee hit the spot. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast

    Spoke + Ivy (west Main Street, FW) - another locally unique dinning experience that deserves a try…read more Spoke + Ivy is located on west Main Street - across the parking lot from Redwood Inn restaurant, if that helps. This restaurant is set in an old building that used to house a pharmacy. It retains the character of the building via the hardwood interiors, tall ceilings, large window views of the street and concrete/industrial ceilings. The interior is nicely decorated with inviting green, brown wood and black accent colors. Table settings were very attractive as well. You can park in the small side lot or on the street. Reservations are easily made on line. The team is very friendly and welcoming. All set the stage for a fun and relaxing dinner experience. Spoke + Ivy has a very small food and specialty cocktail menu. This is the second time we have been here. Each time we found the food to be delicious and the cocktails are uniquely designed. Here is a run down on the food items we ordered: -Focaccia Bread: a mildly sweet, dense/firm bread, slightly airy with a touch of herbs to accent. It is cut into blocks so it is easier to share. The vodka sauce is thin in consistency with a smooth Italian seasoned tomato appeal. Both make for a deliciously simple starter. -Lobster Roll Rangoon: decided to give this a try. It comes out as one large Rangoon - not individual pieces. This means that you must awkwardly cut this shareable into pieces. The slightly crispy & oily wrapper is similar to most crab Rangoon pieces. It has a nice crisp. The inside has shredded pieces of lobster. It was not filled with creme cheese sauce like traditional rangoons - just plain. The green lemon parsley sauce was simply outstanding! It's very fresh, moderately thick and has a slightly tart taste. This added "the sauce" to what the inside of the Rangoon was lacking. -Milanese: nicely breaded chicken that was very moist. The breading is slightly sweet. The fresh bed of arugula salad is a nice add -Prime Rib Pho: this sounded really interesting. It's a smaller/healthier dish. The medium rare prime rib was sliced thin and tender. There wasn't many pieces of prime rib in this dish. The add-ins were fresh and much like you would expect from a Pho dish - just not as much volume. The broth has a chili oil base that gives it a spicier flavor. Overall we really enjoy this relaxed atmosphere and character of the building. The delicious food and cocktails are excellent.

We were seated in a very awkward corner table for two where the tables were really close together. Since it was our Valentine's celebration, I would have been uncomfortable with the tables next to us having people at them because it didn't give you any privacy or space for private conversation. We did not get drinks or appetizers. Our meals were very good (salmon and chicken). The server was good but didn't refill my water and that' a big deal to me. Also, it's supposed to be an upscale place and they were out of paper towels in the bathroom. I feel like that is just basic service they should check on regularly.

    It seemed like a pretty quiet night at Summit Grill. I sat at the bar and order a glass of wine and…read morean appetizer: this sourdough pretzels. The bartender was kind and polite and quick with the service. There were only about three or four tables with people, let them during the course of my time. A few other folks came and sat at the bar. I heard it a side salad with salmon and it came out to me pretty quickly. The flavor was delicious, the salmon, well cooked, and the apple vinaigrette dressing on the salad was delightful. The biggest challenge, was a table with a few children sitting at it. This is no fault of the restaurant, and really, not even the result of my four-star rating. This is merely a statement: if your children are misbehaving and screaming and banging things on the table while other people are trying to eat their dinner, then perhaps the best option is to remove the children from the restaurant. It's always surprising to me when parents are selfish and subject everyone else in the vicinity around them to the poor behavior of their children. As a parent myself, I would never do that to other people. When you go out to a nice restaurant, you want to relax and enjoy the time not listen to tantrums from a three year old. Even the bartender in the servers were frustrated with this table. Some people even walked out after sitting down when they realize that unbelievable noise is coming from one table. Ok, soapbox time is over. Support the summit grill kitchen.

    Summit Grill Kitchen & Cocktails - jumbo onion rings and supreme pizza…read more I love onion rings so I had to try the "jumbo onion rings" on the appetizer menu. It was the least expensive appetizer option at $12...and the "jumbo" sounded attractive. So why not? The rings are "jumbo"-lly bigger than most others offer. The ring is made from a large onion. The onion piece was rather thin. I was expecting a "thicker" piece - perhaps two layers thick given the size of the ring. The onion was sweeter and mild. The batter was very thin, flakey and a touch oily. It has a nice seasoning to go along with the chipotle sauce. Definitely worth a try if you like onion rings. The crust is a hand tossed style and baked to a soft crispy crust. It has a slightly sweet flavor with a mild flour taste. The sauce was not very prominent to the flavor - mild tomato sauce taste. The sauce was hidden by the pile of fresh toppings. There was a nice amount of delicious mozzarella cheese to hold the toppings together and give it a moist pizza flavor. Cold Pizza Test - the pizza was still soft and moist 24 hours later. It seems like the ingredients "marinated" and enhance the Italian flavors. The mozzarella cheese flavors tended to "pop" more. Delicious cold pizza! Overall a pizza. Dinning in is a nice experience. Beautiful facility. Casual and relaxed...though it's pretty loud. Professional and friendly service.
