About First Watch

First Watch serves good food, although not outstanding, with usually very good service. The atmosphere is friendly, with attentive servers, but the tables are close together, making private conversations challenging. The menu may not cater to all tastes, but breakfast options are a highlight, especially the delicious warm and huge pancakes. Recent visitors enjoyed a wonderful meal, choosing to have lunch instead of breakfast, and reported that the Ham & Gruyere sandwich was perfectly grilled and plentiful, while the tomato basil soup was warm, flavorful, and not overpowering. Despite high prices, the restaurant remains a popular choice, though it can be crowded, which may slow service. The environment is busy and somewhat cold-looking, with a style that seems to blend farmhouse and industrial elements. Some guests discovered the restaurant by accident and found it incredible, planning to return instead of eating hotel breakfast. Others noted that a smaller location offers better sound and better food, possibly due to the chefs' skills. The staff is friendly and attentive, with servers like Clayton and Brandon receiving praise for their excellent service. One guest enjoyed the Salmon Eggs Benedict, describing it as yum, and expressed interest in trying the Kale & crimini mushroom frittata next time. Overall, the food consistently impresses, making First Watch a reliable spot for a satisfying meal.
