    Great location, not a lot of available parking while we were here. Breadman’s had people waiting out the door so we came to this “First Watch”. Not crowded but people were lined up after we walked in, around 12:30 on a Monday. The host was very friendly, we were seated shortly. Nice 2 seat table. They bring a cantor of water and iced glasses before you even order. That was a nice touch. Server seemed over worked. But she got our order. They have free wi-fi, nice. Food arrived quickly from a different server! We both had the traditional breakfast: 2 eggs, toast, bacon, seasoned potatoes. I noticed my eggs weren’t over easy. Didn’t notice I got my husband’s over medium eggs and he got mine until after he already started eating them. Oh well, it was still good. The potatoes could have cooked more but still tasty. The bacon is good, just not as good as Breadman’s. The toast was excellent and they had strawberry preserves on the side. Total with tax and 20% tip = $31.33 If we had gotten two iced teas at $3.69 each it would have been around $40, for breakfast. Yes, that’s just too pricey. But all in all, we enjoyed our meal.

    First time visiting this restaurant, I could not be more pleased with the quality and options on the menu! Our waitress Sarah was very helpful and made several good suggestions that were quite delicious. The manager Matt stopped by our table and was exceptionally friendly. My wife and I think we have found our new go to place for breakfast and brunch.

    Our family had a lovely brunch this morning at First Watch. I had the club and it was packed with turkey, lettuce and tomato. My husband was able to get breakfast that fit in with his dietary restrictions - the waitress Sarah was very helpful with her recommendations. The manager stopped by our table to make sure everything was good, I think his name was Matt. We will definitely be back to First Watch!

    O Pancakes! With zest as the sun's own kiss, Ricotta whispers, an embrace of bliss, In the kitchen's cosmic dance, I see, Flour and eggs, a fusion of unity. Batter, a celebration, a vast terrain, Pan sizzles, a chorus in the morning rain, Leaves of lemon and ricotta's verse, Breakfast symphony, each bite a universe.

    This restaurant has a diverse menu with something for everyone. It was bustling on a Sunday morning, but without a wait. Staff were friendly, and the food came out quickly.

    So glad I got to come back here! The food and service is always excellent (never wait long for my food to come). The portion sizes are good and the food always tastes really fresh. Definitely recommend getting a juice from the juice bar! will definitely be back!

    The place was really nice even the food was good except we ordered multigrain pancakes unfortunately the pancakes weren’t multigrain, the honey caramel crunch iced coffee was delicious I recommend it. Our waitress was Erica she helpful and kind.

    A disappointing experience at the first watch this morning… First the positive stuff. The food was great as it usually is… Service was awful. I arrived at 8:55 AM and was sat promptly… Server came over pretty quickly, and I told her that I was waiting for my daughter. I asked for water which was promptly brought to the table… At 9:05 my daughter arrived. We did not see the server again till 9:22 AM… She completely disappeared from the floor. I sat in an area that allowed me to see the entire restaurant, and I did not see her anywhere during that time… Finally, I got up and told Host that my server had disappeared. Honestly, I thought she abandoned her shift. Unfortunately, I did not see any manager or supervisor on the floor. The restaurant was not that busy. Finally, the server showed up with an excuse that they were short staffed, and that she was really busy. She took our order at about 9:30 AM… So essentially we were in the restaurant for 35 minutes before we were able to place an order. I heard her go to other tables and immediately tell them that the restaurant was short staffed… an older woman was sat next to us, and she experienced the same problem. No server came to her table for 15 minutes or so… I saw at least three other servers on the floor that seemed to be handling their sections well.
