It was packed! Very hard to navigate crowd waiting at door to get to our table, especially for people with mobility issues/ canes, walkers, wheelchair. Food was good, pricey. Service was average. Overcharged for an extra coffee we didn't have, but it was also difficult to check out as that was in the same congested entry area and I didn't notice until after paid & in car.
We have been to other first watch restaurants and the layout and flow...
