We generally enjoyed our first visit to First Born; the room has been nicely updated and the place has a youthful, high energy vibe. If we had a couple of constructive suggestions, they would be (1) dial back the salt a little bit and (2) try to space out the courses a bit more.
Pretty much everything we ordered except the spring rolls was on the salty side (especially the wilted spinach under the salmon in the Underbelly dish), which distracts from the generally well-prepared and creative food on the menu.
Also, we ordered three starters to try (the sauteed green beans, the ahi served on rice crackers, and the surf-and-turf spring rolls) and two mains (the Underbelly and the Golden Mountain); the three starters came out quickly, but they were followed almost immediately by both main courses. It was like the kitchen was trying to set a speed record -- we were barely halfway through our starters when the mains came out.
I know the menu says that dishes will come out from the kitchen as they are ready (and our server reminded us of that), but we would have appreciated having enough time to finish the starters before the mains arrived so they would be fresh and hot when we sampled them.
All that said, we did enjoy our meal and the atmosphere in the restaurant and we'll likely be back at some point.
