    We were a table of 12 for brunch. They were not crowded. We sat on the open rooftop. The DJ had the music so loud we couldn’t hear the person right next to us. When asked to turn it down he refused. The food and drinks were good. However the food was slow in coming then they only brought 7 meals and it was another 15min until the other three arrived. By then everyone’s meal was cold but we didn’t want to be rude and eat before all the meals arrived.

    Carter was our waiter and he was awesome. They could not get the food hot. Flavor was great. Sent back once and it came out a little warmer but was disappointed. Manager came over to apologize. Overall will return. Great place to have a drink and hang out.

    It took about 25 minutes for the waiter to come to the table. We had to go tell the host that nobody had helped us out. We ordered drinks 10 minutes later and she told us they were out of Mezcal. Another 15 minutes later we’re ready to order and she tells us they’re out of salmon. That’s the only reason why we went there. We had family that came from another state and we bragged about how good 1Watson was only for them to be out of everything. We ended up having chips and salsa and leaving to go eat somewhere else.

    Understaffed, not prepared, and completely disappointing. Took nearly two hours to get 3 of the five plates we ordered. Two people in our party left after waving an hour and a half. 4 of the meals ordered were brisket tacos. The brisket should have been cooked before we ever showed up so it make no sense. The management was kind enough to take the meals never delivered off the ticket but offered nothing other than a lukewarm warm apology and lame excuse about a large party (1 table of 15ish people) with at least 1/4 of the restaurant was empty though so it just felt poorly managed/run. The one bright spot was the southwest eggroll dip.

    The atmosphere was nice. We initially requested patio seating, but due to an event it was closed until halfway through our meal. We were moved to a nice patio location after finishing our starters. Overall, the experience was good, but more than 1 day notice regarding patio availability would have been nice.
