This restaurant is one of…read morethose rare neighborhood treasures that makes every visit feel personal, welcoming, and genuinely special. From the moment you walk in, the elegant décor sets the tone beautifully, blending warmth and sophistication with a tasteful nod to its Asian culinary roots. What truly sets Dao Kitchen apart, though, is the staff. Candice is exceptional -- the kind of person who turns great service into a lasting impression. She greets us with a smile that feels sincere every time, remembers our favorite dishes, our preferred sauces, our drinks, and even the little details that make us feel like more than just customers. That level of care is rare, and it means so much. It's obvious that the manager takes real pride in building a team that values hospitality, and that pride shows in every part of the experience. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, beautifully presented, and generously portioned. Every dish feels prepared with care, and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. For us, Dao Kitchen is more than a place to eat -- it's a place that leaves us smiling, appreciated, and already looking forward to the next visit. Thank you to Candice, the manager, and the entire Dao Kitchen team for making each experience so memorable. You have more than earned our loyalty.

Visited First Watch with some friends today for the first time and was very impressed. We expected a long wait but were seated right away and greeted with fresh coffee! Our server was a vibrant gal that managed to answer our questions and attend to our needs without even being asked. We decided on many delicious items for breakfast including the avocado toast, chickichanga, and biscuits and gravy. Could not have been better! It was refreshing to see such great customer service in a pleasant atmosphere while eating such great, fresh food. We will be returning, hopefully with enough room for a cinnamon chip pancake or for the lunch portion of the menu! We were told the First Watch locations are located all over the valley so we will keep our eyes open and be recommending this place to friends and family! read more

I always come to this restaurant for breakfasts with my family or my Grandma. The food is absolutely fantastic! Sometimes the wait can be quite long, depending on the day and the time you arrive, but I've always felt it was worth the wait. The fruit is fresh and delicious and the menu is diverse with options (some that will fit your diet and some that won't). Great service and even better food! read more

I'd prefer to have been told the restaurant was booked for breakfast/brunch. Considering the time limit, we were forced to order something quick and unintended. The food was below average for the price. A two egg breakfast with toast and not so fresh fruit should not have cost similarly to a hipster cafe in Seattle, SF, or LA. Also, why even bother asking how I like my eggs when it's not cooked as described? Loud, crowded, tables too close together, feeling rushed, subpar breakfast, overpriced...it's no wonder I've never returned.

They chose instead to place me on indefinite hold by placing the phone down on the counter and ignoring it. I waited for 10 min, then hung up and called back. They did not answer. I tried 15 more times. No answer. I then drove down there, knowing they were busy they might be willing to deal with me in person since not on the phone. They were rude when I walked in. The manager lied to my face and said he was unable to adjust an online order. I informed him I have worked in the industry and know better, he said he would need time and would try to get to it by 3pm. I told him I would give him the benefit of doubt and wait to see if he actually did it. The reason I am leaving the review is not based on if he actually adjusted the bill or not, it's because the entire ordeal could have been avoided all together with a civil conversation on the phone. He and his staff decided to go the other route. I will not go to this Denny's again at any point in the future. UPDATE: 3:00 pm Cooper the manager called to let me know they made the credit and it will appear in my bank account depending on my bank's rules in a certain amount of time. It took a lot of arguing and sifting through, quite frankly never had to escalate this far, but in the end he finally did the right thing. He also invited me to try the location again, we will see about that one.

The hostess then asked for our name and where we lived, and informed us we could not dine there because we were not members or residents. If this is a members-only restaurant, that should be clearly communicated upfront - before guests are allowed through the gate and into the restaurant. We might have considered membership, but after this experience, we definitely will not.
