Started with a cold beer at the inside bar and was disappointed that my friends selected outside seating on the patio as it was 95 and extremely humid. After a 15 minute our server Chris finally came outside and set us up with water and silverware ( we were the only customers stupid enough to seat outside that day ). The menu was extensive featuring your typical appetizers, salads, soups, sandwiches, burgers, pasta, chicken and seafood. Decided on the turkey wrap, which although was well portioned with your cold cut turkey, was soggy and immediately fell apart when I bit into it. My friends did enjoy their she crab soup and grilled chicken salads. Overall interesting bar and grill offering a wide variety of food items and featuring an outside patio with bar providing looks of both the marina and river.

Decided to check this place out on a rainy weekend morning. It was quite busy, but I made a…read morereservation beforehand so we were seated quite quickly. The restaurant is broken up into two sections, a smaller section in the front and a larger area in the back that more comfortably seats larger groups. They also have a back patio but that was closed due to the weather. They had spring menu specials for drink and food, but we stuck with the regular menu. We started off with lattes, caramel latte for him and a teddy bear latte for me. I went with the breakfast plate with turkey sausage, and he got the French toast sandwich with turkey sausage. I must advise that the breakfast potatoes are rosemary heavy. If you don't like rosemary, you won't like these. Portions are big and shareable so I recommend doing that if dining with one or more people. It was a good time, good food and we will back!

There are no onion rings during brunch French fries were crispy and delicious. Julia was a great server considering how thin she was spread. Would love to come back for the standard lunch/dinner menu.

The view of the pond and fountain in the heart of the downtown area is perfect. Parking can be a bit limited right at the restaurant, but there is also a lot across the street that can be used.

They also have a nice selection of gifts when you enter. The candle scents are divine! My favorites are Black Sea and Strawberry Cheesecake.

We decided to wait it out, but we ended up waiting longer than 40mins. I know that the employees can't control when customers get done with their food, but for a good 15 minutes about 5 tables sat vacant while dirty, as they could have cleaned those tables and got the waiting parties seated. Me and my grandmother both love the lemon ricotta pancakes. No matter what day or time it is, they always hit the spot. You can tell that they are made from scratch, as they are not rubbery. The thought of ricotta in a pancake can turn some people away, but all it really does is adds delicacy (makes the pancake tender (if that makes sense)). They usually have soft scrambled eggs, but today they were a bit more of a hard scramble and had trouble cutting a bite with a fork. The bacon this time was so hard that it wouldn't really bend like normal bacon would. I would have rather waited a couple more minutes for some better bacon. They do have a drink called the "Pineapple Express" that is always good. I can't really describe the flavor, but I recommend you try it. You'll have to taste for yourself! As a summary, this First Watch is usually great, but this time it was a miss. I wish that they would be more consistent with the quality of the food AND the service, as some servers act like they don't want to be there while others are great.

My husband and I visit this location often--at least once a week--so this experience was especially…read moredisappointing. I placed an online pickup order at 12:27 PM with a scheduled pickup time of 12:40 PM. I arrived at 12:45 PM, and the order wasn't ready. I waited a few minutes, but by 1:00 PM, there was still no update, so I left and returned at 1:30 PM. At that point, my order was still not ready. By then, I was understandably frustrated. I had already waited over an hour for an order placed in advance, was hungry, and had received little to no communication beyond "it should be next." When I returned, the same host asked for the name on the order and disappeared into the kitchen for about 10 minutes. I then asked another staff member to speak with a manager. Just before the manager came out, the host returned with two pickup orders--neither had my name on them. When the manager arrived and asked what I ordered, she pointed to a bag the host had set out, which turned out to be my order--but it was labeled under a completely different name. This only added to my frustration, especially after waiting over an hour and a half. I asked about a refund due to the excessive delay and lack of communication, but I was told I would need to contact DoorDash. I took the food home (about a 10-minute drive), only to find that the entire order was cold. My entrée was incorrect--I requested no mushrooms but received an excessive amount--and the donut holes were burnt to the point of being inedible. At that point, more than half of the order had to be thrown away, and the rest wasn't enjoyable. I essentially paid for food I couldn't eat after waiting nearly two hours. I understand that restaurants can get busy and that staffing issues happen, but the lack of communication, the excessive wait time, the order mix-up, and the poor food quality made this an extremely frustrating experience. Time and money were both wasted, and I am beyond disappointed in both the service and the food.

We wanted to have a little more leisurely time there, maybe try a dessert, but we had to be at an event, so there was a time constraint. Overall, this is a great spot in downtown Belmont.
