We usually absolutely love this place as the food is consistently good. However, this time it was not the same. Our avocado sandwiches were terrible as they simply plopped crushed avocados. It had no flavor. Additionally we ordered 2 sides of plain biscuits. Each order of the biscuit was $7.
I am hoping that this was just a one off. Hoping that our next time here things will be better.

Beautiful Space with Potential - A Mixed Experience
Stars
This new restaurant is absolutely stunning inside—spacious, modern, and beautifully decorated. It's a great addition to the area. The menu is unique and I was excited to see they offer a full liquor bar and what appears to be fresh-pressed juices.
We tried a few things:
· The Pumpkin Pancake (5/5): This was the star of the show! Absolutely delicious and perfectly made. I would come back for this alone.
· Market Skillet (2.5/5): The flavors were good, but the portion felt quite small for the price. The biggest issue was the potatoes, which were undercooked and too hard. I also asked for over-medium eggs but received over-hard.
· Smothered Chicken Burrito (2/5): My husband had this, and unfortunately, the potatoes in his dish were even harder than in my skillet.
Our service was unfortunately lacking. Our server seemed disengaged and forgot a few key items: the syrup for our pancake and the extra Vera Cruz sauce I requested (which is delicious, by the way!).
While the atmosphere and concepts like the fresh juice and coffee are promising, the execution on the savory dishes and the service need refinement. I might return for pancakes and juice, but with so many breakfast options nearby, the kitchen and service will need to be more consistent to compete.

We had the pumpkin pie doughnuts, classic Benedict, croissant sandwich with upgraded potatoes and the seasonal honey crunch coffee. Everything was delicious, I would HIGHLY recommend upgrading the potatoes every time. Our waitress was also very nice. We will be back!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at First Watch, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile and a welcoming atmosphere that set the tone for a delightful meal.
The menu at First Watch is a breath of fresh air, offering a fantastic variety of breakfast and brunch options that cater to all tastes. I opted for the Avocado Toast topped with perfectly poached eggs, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The flavors were vibrant, and the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh. I had the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, which were light, fluffy, and bursting with flavor – a must-try!
What truly stood out was the impeccable service. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our coffee cups were always full and checking in on us.
The ambiance of the restaurant also deserves a mention; it was bright, airy, and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a leisurely brunch.
Overall, I highly recommend First Watch to anyone looking for excellent food and superb service. Whether you're a breakfast aficionado or just looking for a cozy place to enjoy a meal, First Watch is definitely worth a visit. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their delicious offerings!

I love the food. Our server was awesome. My only beef is that we paid by phone, left, said thank you on the way out, and then had the cashier follow us to the car and asked if we paid by phone. It left a bad taste in my mouth. If you don’t have an efficient way of checking on who paid by phone, then don’t offer the service.
The place had a cool vibe. We got there before the rush but the coffee refill was slow but manageable. Everyone, group of 4, loved their food. I got the smoked salmon egg Benedict. Not my favorite. Just because of the sauce. It was too sweet. I saw another table order the same thing but didn't include the sauce... Smart move. I'll go back but perhaps something more traditional.

Generally not a bad place, but multiple times had issues with the food order being wrong or very late, or the wait staff appear understaffed for how busy it is.
The wait time estimates aren't great, if very busy be prepared to wait 40+ minutes for parties 4 or more
