    Good food and good service. The chilaquiles were very tasty and a large portion. The blueberry muffin was good, but I wish it would have been warmed. I do wish first watch offered espresso drinks, but not a big deal. Our server was friendly and very quick. It's a great spot for a quick breakfast.

    Great first time experience at this breakfast and lunch place! We don't have a first watch where I live, so I was excited to try a chain that some of my friends in Austin rave about. They have a huge one after traditional breakfast items and breakfast items with a twist, as well as a robust lunch menu. Coffee is served diner style right when you get seated. I loved the traditional diner meets modern twist! They have a bunch of seasonal items, and I opted to try the seasonal breakfast sandwich, which had a croissant, meatball, bacon, egg, and jam. It was both sweet and savory, and the perfect treat that you could still haul breakfast. I would love to try more items on the menu one day.

    A coworker and I had recently had a conversation about breakfast. He mentioned he liked this place. Looked at the menu a few times over the years; didn't look like my thing. I mean, I consider Jim's and Dan's Hamburgers to be my go to spots. GF had surgery on 38th street and after she was released I went north to try First Watch. Attentive service was provided; multiple glasses of iced tea were served at one time to keep me happy during the meal. Digs are simple; not too much going on in the space. I've never been a "hash" person. Even though the "bowl" is the new hash I've always had my food divided on the plate. Well, the Market Hash sounded good because goat cheese. Don't think I've ever had zucchini in a breakfast dish. Even ordered the taters dressed with "million dollar bacon" and some kind of extra sauce. Taters weren't that great even with the extra money spent. Bacon was you guessed it overcooked. Perhaps once in eating the dish I detected the most miniscule amount of goat cheese. I will offer this advice though; start in the middle and work your way outward. Most of the ingredients were under the eggs and didn't get many veggies until I went to the center. GF asked for me to note the generous amount of butter on the toast. Dining out is getting expensive so expect to spend around $50 on breakfast for two. FW was good; fancier than my usual greasy spoons but I think in reality I'd choose my old favorites. Or, Migas at a local Tex-Mex spot for a spicier kick.

    hit up First Watch for breakfast. Food was pretty solid. Service was a bit slow but friendly. Chill spot with a nice vibe. Prices felt okay for what you get. Good place to start the day. Wrap dish I got was good. Fruit was fresh and varied. Parking easy. Menu items were plenty. Seating was clean.

    We liked the Cedar Park location so much that we thought we would give this place a try as well. However, this location is like dining inside of an office or storage space, not a restaurant. Everything on the menu is very reasonably priced, although the juices and beverages had no pricing on the menu. We started with their bacon cheddar cornbread and two fresh juices. The cornbread was good, but it was a little on the sweet side. Our two juices were the best part of the meal. I was somewhat disappointed with my trifecta because the pancake was not cooked all the way through (I should've got the waffle) and both the egg and bacon were just slightly warmer than room temp. I did like the fact that they do bring you a bottle of warm maple syrup. The wife liked her avocado toast with the multigrain bread and fresh avocado, but she remarked that something seemed missing. Nothing to make it pop like a side of salsa. Service was attentive, and the prices were in line with the quality of the food. However, for us, it was a good, acceptable breakfast, just not great, so 31/2* for our overall experience. Informative photos included.

    I had a very good brunch at a First Watch in North Texas, so I was interested to try Austin's location. This time, I went for lunch options, although breakfast was still available after noon. There were all sorts of sandwiches on offer, then I noticed the salads. Salads?! Oh yeah, those things that have veggies and are good for you! I can go for that occasionally. My Sweet Pecan Chicken turned out to be the best of all worlds. It has a nice pile of tasty greens and avocado with a yummy warm dressing, but also nice chunks of chicken and bacon, served with a hunk of buttered ciabatta. My friend ordered a traditional Benedict, but specified soft-scrambled eggs, and said the kitchen got it just right. I love that they just leave carafes of coffee and water on the table so you can pour as needed. Our server was friendly and personable, and said, "Oooh, I LOVE that one!" about the salad I ordered. The only slight disappointment was the Million Dollar Bacon. It was tasty, but at $5.99 for four small, fairly thin, and rather flaccid slices, I wouldn't even call it a worthwhile "Six Dollar Bacon." To charge that much and give it a name like that, it should be fabulous--and this simply wasn't.

    Food was amazing. My pic does not do it justice. If you like grits you must try the shrimp and grits. Service was impeccable. I wanted for nothing and she made good conversation. Ambience was lovely. Not busy and loud like the north location. O will be back!

    Can someone give a few prices to give us an idea of how much it is to eat there? The menu on the website doesn't have any :-(

    Entrees run between $14-17, add espressos for $3+ and teas for 2+. Its a little more than Denny's, with good quality breakfasts.

The wife got the smoked turkey sandwich w/ avocado. Both are great to be honest and you can see the fresh sourdough bread they make in house for the sandwiches.

Had not been to this restaurant in a good while, and was a last minute decision. Good choice. The whipped feta is always a treat -- light and creamy with a solid feta taste, but not overpowering, served with a few orange slices and thinly sliced almonds, and pita. Special dish! Beet salad excellent, but the Fresno peppers had way too much heat, so pushed them to side. My wife had the Moroccan curry, which had a very spot on Moroccan flavor (been there 3x), and was a large, filling portion so brought home leftovers. I had the grilled pork chop which was large, perfectly grill with a tasty bourbon-based glaze, served with a large roasted garlic clove. Wonderful dish.

The standout was the Brussel sprouts...crispy with this absolutely delicious drizzle. I ordered the Mezze plate with a flavor explosion and many desirable texture. It had lamb kabobs, fresh salad (emphasis on fresh) with thinly sliced cucumbers, finely sliced onions and creamy feta (never had creamy feta), red round sweet peppers, hummus with the most delightful pesto like sauce, and olives.

The bar is appointed well enough, and while the bartenders are a bit sloppy in their mixology and prep (rim salter filled while still wet = clumpy salt; juices everywhere), they were friendly enough and got the orders right. The food was promptly served. I ordered chips and salsa as an appetizer (the only thing I thought would be a small enough quantity and cheap at $5). I also ordered the chimichurri steak tacos. You get three of those in the typical three slot holder, decent portions. The chips were good. The salsa looks like it was heavy on tomatillos instead of tomatoes, but had good flavor and acceptable spice. The tacos. They were flavorful. But the flavors were overpowered by the quantity of SALT. I could hear Gordon Ramsay in my head shouting "This is so salty it would kill a horse!". I LOVE salty savory things, but it pushed my limits - yes I ate them anyway, in part because I was hungry and tired. I think part of the problem was they used a dusting of parmesan to add a touch to the presentation, and it did elevate the tacos, but when you prep a dish like this you have to remember that salt is additive. The steak strips are salted. The chimichurri has salt. Parmesan is one of the saltier cheeses. Accidentally over-salt the steaks and you're quickly in trouble. Oh, the atmosphere? An industrial hipster bar wanna-be in a hotel lobby. OK as far as hotel bars, but not one I'd go out of my way to visit.

Rosé Gosé (note accents) is in an unassuming Airport Blvd location (right next to Jewboy Burgers, an Austin favorite). It is run by a couple from Belarus that came here right after Covid to open up a restaurant, with a sister in Minsk. Defying expectations, the menu is not Balkan at all. If anything, there is a strong Asian influence with poke bowls and a lot of seafood. But the menu also offers beef tartare on their raw bar menu, as well as a steak offering and grilled chicken. It's a diverse and adventurous menu, all the way from small plates to hefty mains and vegetable sides. For the dessert, try the pavlova, a meringue confection stuffed with coconut mousse and topped with lime sorbet and a grapefruit slice sidecar. Everything is superbly presented, and unquestionably fresh and healthy without veering into twigs and berries territory. The cocktail menu is also playful, with a lot of nontraditional glassware and slight spins on popular drinks; their version of a Paloma uses prosecco instead of a splash of soda. The servers are all dressed in rosé jumpsuits and very attentive. The space is amiable and elegant without being pretentious. The table spacing is a little close, so that conversations carry between guests. The table setting has some nice touches, like the little wooden bench that holds your fork and knife off the table. In European fashion, water can be asked for but it won't be served with ice. Plan on taking your time and enjoying course after course.

Rosé Gosé was a delightful Mother's Day lunch spot. It is a whole vibe, and it is uniquely French! When we walked in an artist was playing romantic music on his keyboard, which set the tone for the brunch. It is a small restaurant inside with a larger area of seating on the patio. Of course, our reservations were inside in the comforts of air conditioning. You immediately notice a wine wall hence the name Rosé Gosé. The restaurant has many windows which provide lots of natural light. The tables house miniature yellow roses and utensils sat in a small wooden block...very French. All the servers were dressed in mauve clothing that resemble scrubs from a hospital. If someone stepped out in a French beret, I would have fallen over. Our server, Sergey, immediately served us water and took our order. The restaurant was highlighted as a modern European bistro. The atmosphere was charming, elegant, and stylish making it ideal for a Mother's Day brunch. My hubby ordered a ribeye, eggs and French Fries. I ordered the avocado toast with salmon and egg whites. While I'm not a huge red meat eater, I tasted a piece of the hubs ribeye and it was nicely prepared. My avocado toast was yummy to the nth degree! Everything was perfect. The avocado was precisely cut and at the right level of softness. The salmon was chopped into tiny little squares and so enjoyable to eat. We could not be more pleased. With a name like Rosé Gosé you would expect their drinks to be superb. My hubby ordered a hibiscus tea, which was delightful. I ordered a mimosa that had high quality ingredients and was perfectly balanced...so smooth. We were also pleased with the drinks. This was the first time at Rosé Gosé, however, it definitely will not be the last.
