    Over medium eggs, breakfast potatoes and a turkey sausage gravy covered biscuit.
    Jim W.

    Nice convenient location, was in the area, and hungry so I stopped in. I've had good experiences with first watch in the past. The server was good, location clean. I ordered the turkey sausage, gravy and biscuits with eggs and breakfast potatoes. Eggs and breakfast potatoes were great cooked perfectly nice and hot, but the gravy wasn't even room temperature. I had eaten most everything except for the biscuits and gravy when the server came by with the check, and I let her know that the gravy was lacking. She offered to have it remade, but I had already filled up on the other things. She spoke to the manager, and he made things right. So, I'm happy. I like it when a restaurant owns up. Won't hesitate to come back thanks First Watch

    "Million Dollar Bacon" There were 5 slices, caramely, sweet and spicey! A must!
    Laurie V.

    Even though we arrived at what was likely the busiest time--12:30 on a Sunday--the entire staff exuded such positive energy and warm, friendly personalities that our brunch felt nothing short of relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable. While we waited to be seated, the manager was there near the door and was happy to chat with me to answer my questions about the featured pineapple, coconut water, and agave juice special and whether they have mimosas (which they do, made with white wine). Then, as we were off to be seated, he added with enthusiasm, "The Sangria is REALLY good and popular. It comes in a pitcher!" When I looked at the menu, I saw that it serves 2 to 3 people, making it a perfect option for sharing. Before our server even arrived, the hostess came over to get us started with beverages. And then came our server--the true star of the experience. Her contagious, high-energy personality made the entire meal feel even more fun and lively, adding to what was already an outstanding brunch. The food was delicious. I highly recommend the Belgian Waffle with Berry Compote & cinnamon powdered sugar. You can make it even more delicious with butter and maple syrup. But the real standout? The Million Dollar Bacon--a must-try! The shareable platter of caramelized bacon slices was drizzled with maple syrup, seasoned with a slightly spicy, peppery kick, and sprinkled with chives. (See my photo!) For the health-conscious, this is definitely the place to dine. There are so many healthy options including beverages like fresh-pressed, nutrient-packed juices featuring ingredients like kale, turmeric, cucumber, and beets--perfect for a refreshing and health-boosting option. There are plenty of lunch options, as well; I had the half-sandwich & half-salad. We chose to sit outside, and the weather was gorgeous. The umbrellas provided just the right amount of shade and made the seating seem cozy, and the tables were spotless. We'll be going back soon.

    This place always has a great variety of breakfast or lunch choices, juices! I wish the restaurant offers lattes. My friend had the bacon cornbread and it was delicious, huge, and best if shared! I had the lemon ricotta pancake and again, it was huge but the lemon curd was so amazing! I also had the Meditation drink which was refreshing. There's always something for different types of palates here. Service is always so great and from the host to the server, you know you will be looked after while you're there. It's welcoming and cozy, very warm and inviting venue. Highly recommended.

    The food was pretty basic. We wanted avocado toast. It wasn't anything exciting. They should serve it on a smaller plate so it won't look so empty, or throw some mixed greens on there. The restaurant is super cute and has a fun, modern, vibe. I will give it another shot but its not anything I'm excited about having again.

    Went in for a quick breakfast and was pleasantly welcomed into a clean cozy establishment. Our waitress was prompt and friendly and the food was tasty! I had the BEC for the first time and it was very good, highly recommend it.

    I love the farm feel decor here. This restaurant has high ceilings and feels very open and bright. They also have a counter seating area. It was crowded, but we were seated right away and the noise level was minimal. Our server, Kim, was very good and the food arrived quickly. My husband enjoyed his omelette and my salad was very good. I could've used maybe just a little bit more chicken on it. I love the dressing but would recommend getting it on the side as I did. It is warm and can wilt the lettuce a bit if you get it right on the salad. I always think of this restaurant as a breakfast place, but we went around lunchtime and it is nice that they have lunch options as well.

Took my son for his birthday breakfast.Great consistent food, great atmosphere, ambiance & FIRST CLASS service, always.Thank you Fernando for being so welcoming, funny seating us, checking us out & making sure our service was First Class.

    ad an exceptional experience at First Watch, all thanks to our server, John. From the moment we sat down, John made us feel welcomed and valued. His friendly demeanor, attentiveness, and knowledge of the menu were impressive. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed, and his timing was impeccable--our food arrived promptly and exactly as we ordered. John's outstanding customer service made our visit truly memorable. It's rare to find someone who genuinely cares about providing an excellent dining experience, but John certainly does. We will definitely be returning, thanks to his exceptional service!

    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.

    Our bartender Angel was AMAZING! I said I wanted spicy and he absolutely delivered. Between the…read moredrinks and food, he made our taste buds and tummy's happy. Plus, great customer service. Thank you Angel!

Plenty of seating including an enclosed patio. Bottomless drinks were replenished quickly. Food was pretty decent overall. Eric brought out a complimentary desert for my mom. CONS- There's no valet service on the weekend, parking is limited. I asked if I can bring a small cake and was told they can't hold it in the kitchen only behind the host stand. You only get one flavor of the bottomless margaritas you can't switch flavors. The bathroom stalls have frosted doors with only about 85% privacy, check out my pic for reference. We loved everything but the pomegranate guacamole needed some salt. The Açaí was liquidity. The Wagyu & eggs were good, small meat portion but it was filling after all the shared plates.

We came to celebrate a birthday following a difficult family tragedy and were hoping for a memorable evening. While there were definitely some highlights, the overall experience didn't live up to the restaurant's reputation or price point. The truffle baked potato was outstanding, and the Love Pillow pasta was absolutely delicious. However, the steaks were a different story. The ribeye was chewy and not cooked particularly well, and the Wagyu arrived overly charred and crispy on the outside, which took away from what should have been a premium dining experience. What stood out even more was the service experience. Throughout the evening, we noticed managers and staff checking in with many surrounding tables, yet no one ever stopped by ours to ask how our meal was or whether everything was satisfactory. After spending nearly $1,000 for four people, that level of attentiveness should be standard regardless of what guests are wearing or who they are. Another disappointment was the overall atmosphere around the service station. Being seated nearby, it was hard not to notice staff repeatedly slamming and tapping order books and equipment against the countertops. It created a distracting environment that felt inconsistent with the upscale dining experience Maple & Ash promotes. There also seemed to be a lot of staff and management congregating in one area while guests went unchecked. As someone who has lived in Scottsdale my entire life, I left feeling that the food quality and hospitality have declined from what I remember. There are simply too many great steakhouse options in the area that consistently deliver both exceptional food and professional service. Would I return? Probably not. For this price point, I'd choose Steak 44, where I've always felt appreciated as a guest and know what level of service and quality to expect. This version reads as thoughtful and credible, which tends to carry more weight with both readers and management.
