   My wife had the Strip with Frites and I Had the Berkshire Pork Chop. Both just Wow. I can't rave enough about the quality of the food presentation and amazing flavor. Great job F1RST we will be back.

   What a jewel! This restaurant is one in a million! Each dish was prepared with love and the finest ingredients. Chef Adam is creative and every bite was an explosion of tastes. The freshest of ingredients along with a brilliant culinary vision make First a 12 on 1-10 scale! Every dish was a visual delight and an awesome treat for the palette. Linda, our wonderful server, was a pleasure. She knew the menu inside and out and described the delicious specials perfectly. From appetizer to dessert it absolutely exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to go back!

   We have been to F1rst several times and after our recent visit we questioned ourselves on why we don't frequent this fine restaurant even more. The hostess and our server Linda were very attentive to our needs. The menu is varied to every taste and Linda explained the specials in great detail and every one sounded delicous. Our appy and entrees did not disappoint and we look forward to coming back very soon. If you are looking for a great byob don't miss out on visiting F1rst

   Frankly, we were VERY disappointed. Our friends had raved about this place last Saturday night so we couldn’t wait to go. It’s noisy to the point of being nearly unpleasant. The service was more “diner-like” than fine dining and the quality of the entrees was painfully lacking. I had the artisanal beets appetizer……they could have come from a $0.99 can from the supermarket! The “jumbo” shrimp and grits entree was neither jumbo nor tasty. A request for butter (for the bread) required re-requesting and the hot water with lemon at the end of the meal requires requesting “lemon” and when it finally does appear, it is more correctly warm water with lemon. Suffice it to say that F1rst didn’t make the cut tonight which was a big disappointment because we are always on the lookout for restaurants that serve terrific food. Maybe tonight was just an off night but we were genuinely disappointed. Proceed with caution and bring some ear plugs.
