“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC“

“We went on the morning of July 5th, so it was hopping busy, but we expected that and anticipated having to wait. For our party of 2, it was about 45 minutes, so we had some good appetites when we sat.

Our server was McKenna, and that girl was a rockstar! She was perfectly attentive and prompt despite having what seemed like half the tables in the restaurant and a couple of large parties to boot.

I'd never eaten at a First Watch before, and I'll DEFINITELY be back. The seasonal steak bowl I had was fantastic, and my husband, whose family has been First watch regulars for over a decade, ordered the house specialty bacon for the table. Add those two to the list of foods he's gotten me hooked on!

Tl;dr, go with an appetite, be prepared to wait a bit for a table or reserve one over the phone, and try the bacon.“

“We had a very enjoyable and nice dinner yesterday. I feel bad that the previous reviews are quite negative on this wonderful restaurant. We’ve been to Bench so many times and we were always very happy with the food and service . This is a hidden gem in Rio. While other restaurants are crowded and noisy, this one has a classy and quiet atmosphere. The food’s delicious and flavorful. We appreciate the chef and the hosts- they get busy with a small staff but they are still very hospitable and attentive. Our server last night was Alie and I’m sorry I didn’t get the other lady’s name . Keep up the excellent work . We will surely be back .“

Highly recommend.“
