Review of First Watch

This is not an allergy friendly restaurant. I ordered one of the omelets that came with greens and toast. I asked my server to substitute for the gluten free toast. She did not ask if it was for preference or allergy and proceeded to take the next order. I stopped her before she left the table and told her that I had a gluten allergy in hopes she would tell the kitchen. When my food arrived, I noticed that the bread (laying on top of the omelet and greens on the plate) did not look right so I asked the food runner if that was the gluten free bread. The runner responded no and said she would just bring me a piece of the gluten free and started to walk away. I stopped her and handed her my plate saying I had an allergy and needed the food remade as the bread had touched it. Less than 5 minutes later, she came back with my plate with the gluten free bread. I found it suspiciously fast that they could have remade my food in that time, but thought maybe they had another prepared they were just able to give me. I confirmed that it was remade with the server and was told yes it was. My body is telling me now, that it was not. I am very disappointed in my visit to First Watch.
