I decided to stop at First Watch while my friend was in surgery because I’ve always enjoyed their fresh food, and I’m not from this area. When I arrived, the restaurant wasn’t busy. Johanna was very kind, despite already helping other customers, and told me I could sit anywhere. She seated me while I looked over the menu. After sitting for about 10–15 minutes without any service, I started contemplating leaving. Several servers walked past me without acknowledging me. Johanna, being the kind person she is, noticed that the “assigned” server had never helped me. Without hesitation, she stepped in, took my order, and made sure I was fully taken care of from that point forward. I truly believe her work ethic and professionalism deserve recognition — especially for doing the right thing when no one is watching. Thank you, Johanna, for staying true to yourself. The sky is the limit! Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $50–60
