    We ordered for delivery. The orange juice was fresh and delicious. The portions were big and easily shareable as we had two days of breakfast with one order. There is a good variety to choose from the menu. The bread was amazing.

    Are you looking to eat a delicious breakfast AND exceptional customer service? Look no further than First Watch. The restaurant is conveniently located off of Scottsdale Rd and offers plenty of parking. There is plenty of seating inside and also a few seats on the patio. The staff are super friendly and make you feel welcome right away. They do tend to get busy so plan accordingly. On this visit we had the Works omelette and double bacon Parmesan hash. Plain and simple, delicious and fresh. Fresh coffee keeps things going. They also offer a variety of pancakes and waffles. Overall a very good spot to enjoy delicious, hot breakfast and freshly brewed coffee.

    The new Fall menu made our food choices easy. I thought the pickled jalapeños on the maple back sandwich paired well with the sweetness of the maple croissant and brown sugar bacon. The pumpkin pancake was good, I would've liked a little more pumpkin spice plus a second cake. The pomegranate sunrise was a great take for a tequila brunch cocktail. Our server was prompt and very friendly. This place is family friendly for families with kids. With the wood flooring it does make the place a little noisy when it gets busy.

    Always dependable with sizable portions and freshly made. I have ordered the Avocado toast in many of their locations and I have never been disappointed.

    The Raspberry Ricotta French Toast was delicious, not too sweet and very flavorful. My wife loved her Avocado Chopped Salad, grateful that the dressing complimented the ingredients without being overpowering. We both tried the Blue Booster juice and loved the crisp, fresh taste of the Fuji apple juice. The ambiance was delightful as always. Our server, Dakota, provided exceptional service.

    You always know what you are going to get when you come.....words from hubby! Food is always great. Service was 10 out of 10!

    Never have a had such a terrible experience at First Watch. We were sat at a table with food in the bench, dirty table, and dirty coffee cups. Gross! So we moved. Next table has crumbs and wet glass marks and DIRTY coffee cups. Think twice before you go here. I can't imagine what the kitchen looks like.

    Came here with a friend at 11am on a Friday. Despite the hour and day, it wasn't full or on a waitlist and we were seated immediately. I enjoyed the carafe of water we were provided on the table and was offered a cup of coffee. Unfortunately, I don't think their coffee is a house blend. It tasted like keurigs coffee, which isn't to say it's a fact but it tastes low quality. I ordered a seasonal drink called the Tangerine Dream (shown) and the Tri-Fecta with poached eggs, chicken patties and a pancake. I'm a huge fan of pancakes and I'd like to say I have a knack for identifying them. This one was just good. The patties were good too. Overall, everything was just good. Nothing to rave about and I don't particularly want to attend again when places like Snooze exist. We did also have quite a wait for a dessert my friend ordered despite it not being full, though I don't know if they had a lot of online orders or something else preventing them.

    Still love this location! The food is perfect, the best comfort food. Mariah is still my favorite server. It's always nice to see a friendly face every time I go.

    Red Medicine beverage.

    I was between appointments and decided to treat myself to breakfast. Wasn't sure where I wanted to go and then I remembered there was a First Watch at Promenade. Perfect! I was a little nervous that I'd feel awkward being a party of 1, but the hostess didn't even bat an eye. She put my name on the list and said maybe a 10 min wait, but it wasn't even 5. I was given a regular menu and a holiday menu. Not much appealed on the Holiday menu today. I was in the mood for the basics, so ordered the traditional breakfast. There was a drink on the holiday menu though that piqued my interest - Red Medicine. Let me tell you - it may be the best juice beverage I've ever tasted. They need to bottle that! Pomegranate, cranberry, black tea, honey and cinnamon. Whoever came up with that deliciousness deserves an award. My breakfast was good, but nothing overly special. Over easy eggs done exactly right. 4 slices of bacon, unlike the 2 other places tend to give you. I requested extra crispy and this was just right, but not a big fan of whatever brand they use. Toast was good and I appreciate the little cup of jam. The potatoes weren't my favorite. I'm not a big breakfast potato fan and prefer shredded hash browns. Overall a good breakfast and a nice place to dine solo.

    Came in for brunch today with some coworkers and the food was delicious. we were in and out in under an hour and staff were friendly! There is plenty of seating inside. The gluten-free bread is delicious and there's no up charge. I will definitely be back to explore the menu a bit more :)

    Best potatoes
    Erin M.

    Our server Preston was the best, such a breath of fresh air, kind, genuine, and best smile! Food also, so so so delish! Those potatoes are the best!

    Barbacoa Breakfast Tacos

    Looking for something we didn't have at home and found First Watch. So thankful we did! Our waitress Veronica was so helpful with all our questions. We wanted to order everything off the menu. We started with the Blueberry Lemon cornbread and it was phenomenal. Tasted straight out of Grandmas kitchen. We all ordered something different so we could share and it was all incredible. I got the breakfast tacos and they were to die for! Adorable atmosphere with all the country themed decor! Next time we are in Scottsdale we are definitely coming here to eat!

Everything was very good, and the sauce on the pizza was especially excellent. Service was good -- not great, but good. The DJ actually added some nice ambience to the place and gave the restaurant a good vibe. Now here's my problem. This is a BIG restaurant. I'm not talking about some tiny little neighborhood place where they have to squeeze every table into every corner. Yet somehow, they sat the four of us right next to the server computer station, where the staff is constantly coming and going, punching in checks, picking things up, walking back and forth -- the whole time you're trying to eat dinner. And to make it worse, that table is close to the front door. This is Arizona. Every time that door opens, you get a blast of heat. I can only imagine in colder weather you'd get the opposite problem. I've been around restaurants a long time, and some tables just shouldn't be tables. That's one of them. I understand nobody wants to give up a four-top, but in a restaurant that size, come on. Move the table or get rid of it. The guest experience should be worth more than squeezing in four extra seats. The food absolutely deserves a return visit. Just do yourself a favor if they try to seat you by that computer station near the front door, ask for another table.

The person who brought the food told her that it was gluten free. The server, who had taken the order, came back and told her it wasn't gluten free. He told her he'd replace it and take it off of her bill. It took her forever to get the new wrap. And when she got the bill, he hadn't removed it from her tab.

    This review is for the totality of the experience…read more I made an advance reservation at Alma Scottsdale for a mid-sized group of 7 to celebrate a special occasion. Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.

The place was buzzing with loud electronic music and tons of people dining -- I think because the ceiling is so high the noise is amplified. Because it was so busy it took a while for the server to come over but he did with waters which was nice but then the menus are all on QR codes -- which is annoying because it is hard to look at everything and because the menu is very confusing it would have been nice to see everything on paper. The menu is confusing because the selections are very odd -- I thought it was a mexican-asian/sushi fusion restaurant -- which I guess it is but it was still really hard to create the best food experience when I couldn't see everything available. My friend was hungry so she immediately put in an order for calamari and I was being called to order the blood orange margarita slushie. When the margarita came it was like nothing I have ever seen before. It looked more like a milkshake or like a creamsicle. I dove in thinking it would be too sweet but it was actually quite delicious and I sucked it back in a second! Also I put in an order for the edamame which sounded really good in the description -- "woodfired" and spicy miso butter -- but when they came they were really spicy and the woodfired element was making me cough, strangely enough -- I couldn't finish them! Finally after waiting forever we got the drinks and apps. It then took another 15 minutes to order our food. Again it was busy and my friend and I were catching up so it wasn't a big deal. We wanted a fairly light dinner so we just ordered one roll -- the Fuego, which had yellowtail and a whitefish, chili, cilantro and cucumber plus a pico de gallo on top -- it was very flavorful -- although a bit spicy for those who are spice wimps like me. Overall, thought it was a good meal but wasn't blown away.
