    What better way to kick off the Holiday of Summer - Fourth of July, than with the Summer menu. Met friends for breakfast this morning, before things got crazy with the Holiday Weekend. The Summer menu has a new drink, WATERMELON WAKE-UP: Watermelon, pineapple, lime and mint. Very refreshing. Our table opted for two other items off the Summer menu: ELOTE BREAKFAST BURRITO & STRAWBERRY TRES LECHES FRENCH TOAST. As always, food was fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. Our server, Ebony, provided great friendly service. Great place to grab breakfast and work, meet friends, or have a quick meeting.

    Food was very tasty and service was great. Restaurant was very busy but we only had to wait 10 minutes.

    First Watch is one of my favorite places to get brunch. The food is consistently good. Even though they are usually very busy we get seated quickly. I got a seasonal caramel coffee to drink. It was very good. I got the triathlete omelette with potatoes as my main course. I don't know why this omelette is so good but I would highly recommend it. I also split a blueberry muffin with my husband. It tasted very fresh. First watch has a large menu with great breakfast and lunch options. The staff is always helpful and friendly. The restaurant has a modern farmhouse vibe.

    Did a breakfast date with hubby this morning and wanted to try this location. It's located in the streets of St. Charles. Parking was plentiful. Upon walking in it's a bit congested and crowded and limited space. Shaped like shotgun which means straight line seating . Decent space between tables. Service was speedy and waitress was helpful on ordering. I ordered Belgium Waffle and million dollar bacon . It could have been hotter but not worth the argument. Hubby ordered biscuits and gravy, potatoes, scrambled eggs and grits. His was hot and delicious per him. Coffee was hot. Patio seating was available as well .

    Million Dollar Bacon, Elevated Egg Sandwich, Sunrise Granola Bowl

    easy to join waitlist, we only waited about 10 mins (maybe) and there was a 5-15 minute wait. not a lot of seating in the wait area but they get you seated pretty fast so it wasn't a huge problem. staff was super nice and fast, didn't feel anxious or rushed to order. food was very good, a lot of flexible and healthy options. it was pretty loud in there but it was around lunch so it was to be expected. I got the elevated egg sandwich w/ no avocado with the potatoes and my boyfriend got the sunrise granola bowl with the muffin and he got the pineapple express to drink. all was SOO GOOD!!! the fruit tasted fresh in the granola bowl and the pineapple express it was so refreshing!! my sandwich was pretty mid but the potatoes were amazing!! we also got a side of the million dollar bacon and it was sweet/spicy so if you're into that it was amazing!

    Decided to have first breakfast of 2025 at First Watch. Only few minutes from hotels. Perfect timing at 9:30am before it gets real busy at 10am. Friendly waitress serves us and communicate with us well. These food were delicious. I'd come back again thank you

    Their automated cue system is not effective. We came here on a Saturday around 10.30am and were told that wait time is 45 minutes and they tell everyone the same. But we saw some people came after us, cut us off and got a table earlier than us! We had to wait 50 minutes to get a table. It was so uncomfortable waiting by the door and people were trying to get in/out. This place can't handle more than 30 people at a time on weekends, especially in winter: there is only few tables inside. Breakfast skillet hash that I ordered was just ok, nothing special. I will definitely go somewhere else next time. UPDATE: Business owner responded (see below) and I thought it was nice they wanted to reach out to me to improve customer relations and but noone ever called or emailed me back.

    Solid breakfast place! Can get very busy so highly recommend getting in line online before you get there. I tried First Watch at another location in the past and wasn't a big fan but was pretty pleased this time.

    We used the app and got onto the waitlist. We checked in at 11:30 AM but when we got to the restaurant at 12:00 PM they were still not ready for us, the app said 30 minutes. So we sat at the community table. We ordered at 12 PM but did not get our food till after 1 PM. Our order was wrong. Before we even said anything the server said they took care of our ticket because they knew the order was wrong and we waited so long. The server was incredibly nice and the manager was working so hard I felt so bad for him. The manager was working the front and back house.

However, there are some standard issues. Service is spotty at best often leaning toward flat out rude. The side salad is awful, but the cessation delicious. The potato soup is terrible and flavorless and there have been few times this has not been the case. Today however, I ordered my usual and genuinely enjoyed it. My dining partner ordered a BLT and potato soup. The person who dropped off the food was flat out rude and didn't want to be bothered. Our waiter, John S was terrible. It was brought to his attention that the soup was ice cold and the BLT was on toasted bread when specifically it had been requested that it not be. It took less than two minutes for him to "fix" it which meant nuking the soup and loading it with cheese which hadn't been in the original bowl and it had too much cheese and as always was gross. The BLT he took the top bread off and replaced the top with non toasted bread and left the bottom toasted. It was not made correctly and he knew it. An entire bowl of soup was left and not once did he ask if we'd like to take it to go, or offer drink refills. He was terrible! The ambience of the place is always nice but the greeters are equally unfriendly on most occasions. It's a shame because their main menu of steaks is delicious but I don't go as often as I used to because staff does not know how to perform even mildly courteous customer service. This visit was substandard in many ways and we left very unhappy with the service received and one person still hungry. For a nice restaurant that charges what they do, I would think they would want to perform better.

He made sure we were well taken care of the whole time. Despite this being in essentially a rich persons strip mall the ambience inside was wonderful. Beautiful decor, wonderful atmosphere. The food was very very good. Love farm to table and this place delivers that with elegance. I highly recommend this place for a nice night out. The prices reflect the quality you get.

I was looking to "book" a private dining room in a restaurant that I thought might be good. I called Prasino's, but couldn't speak with anyone because their Customer Service is geared to choosing numbers on my phone keypad. Okay, I followed the rules-- left my name and contact information and sat back to wait for a call. It has now been over 48 hours and there has been no call; no message. I've now booked with another local restaurant. A place that has humans who will speak with a person when he or she calls. I suppose they must have all the business they need? Mu business would have only provided between 5 and $10,000 but hey-- I guess that's not worth returning a call. In any case, I don't recommend Prasino's. I suppose they just don't care.
