    I always used to like going to First Watch while in town for work however the service has been slowly going down hill. For starters, I can never seem to get an egg cooked how I want it. If I want it over hard, I get it over easy. Or vice versa. My waitress came over once or twice to ask how it was going. Seemed like she lost interest pretty quick when she figured out I was dining alone and not getting a bunch of items. After my food was brought out, it was a little while before she came back to check. I did tell her that the egg on the sandwich was overcooked at that point. She offered to take it and get the correct one but I feel like honestly they should catch that before it comes out. Seems like they just figured I wouldn't say anything and she didn't seem genuine about having them remake it either. I also don't send back food which I should have just canceled. There was only a couple waitresses on but it was not busy since it was 9:30a on a weekday. She brought over the check pretty quick as well. Its a shame because it used to be a staple for me while I'm in town but I'm starting to rethink that.

    Tri-Fecta one with French toast the other with Belgian Waffle. Million Dollar Potatoes, regular potatoes and Purple Haze.

    First Watch is always my go-to breakfast spot, so while on vacation I had to stop by and it did not disappoint! Everything was absolutely delicious, just like I expected. The service was on point, and the outdoor seating was a great bonus. Always a great experience!

    First our server Kelli was not friendly & not customer service oriented. We asked for assistance & admittedly stated that she was not able to, when in fact it can. She didn't bother to say I'll check to see if it's possible. Our potato's came burnt & eggs Benedict was ok. French toast was slightly overcooked. The atmosphere decor was pleasant but that's about it. We'll go to another location where we where the service & staff are much more friendly.

    The service was really good and everyone was very nice. The food came out quick and was pretty tasty. I would definitely go back for breakfast or brunch. They provided a highchair and crayons for my toddler. Definitely family friendly, but there might be a wait, because they get super busy.

    YUM! We came in for breakfast around 11am on a Wednesday (during the season). It was busy but we sat right away at a large table in the front of the restaurant. The restaurant is open and bright. All of the servers were so nice! The food came out really quickly and was delicious. The avocado toast was some of the best I have ever had. The lemon ricotta pancakes were a great choice as well. You basically can't go wrong with any choice. Highly recommend checking it out.

    First watch in Dania was pretty standard, we made reservations online so the wait time wasn't too lengthy. Our waitress took a while to get to our table to ask for drinks to then get water to then ask us for drinks again. By then, we were ready to order. After we ordered everything went smooth sailing, food was filling and amazing quality! Would definitely recommend it to anyone debating on coming g here!

    The food was very tasty. The service here is top tier our waitress imara went above and beyond to ensure we got our food and fixed any problem that we had. The ambiance was good will definitely come back for a visit.

    Have you ever tried the delicious breakfast at first watch? Came here with a friend on a holiday weekend. It did not disappoint! The ambiance was a vibe and location too. I had an egg white omelette and my friend had an avocado toast. Service was quick and seamless! Great experience overall!

    Let me start off by saying Our server Henry was the absolute best!!!! He is aware, kind, quick and accommodating. Ordered 2 bowls :Chicken quinoa $12 and the SoCal $14 Both were delish Lots of flavor and they're big portions Honestly you can share the bowl and splurge on the good stuff (French toast and pancakes) We got the lavender French toast $15 IT WAS BOMB! My husband said " I'm Tasting scent" found that statement to be absolutely on point with how I felt when I tasted that lavender colored cream! ORDER NOW it's seasonal and will be gone soon! I also ordered the lemon curd pancakes. I felt the pancakes were plain and very airy and I realized that it's the multigrain pancakes that give it that texture to me. It was a little dry, but the lemon curd was amazing so what I will be doing next time is ordering the blueberry lavender French toast With a side of lemon curd The ambience in the restaurant can be a little overwhelming for people on the spectrum as they are very busy and noisy (bring your headphones) iykyk So if you're up early, they open at 8 AM on weekends and during the week you can go early in the morning at 8 AM or after 12 PM because it seems like the rush calms down then. Everything is clean and the staff is friendly . *Don't come starving because when they are busy, it can take some time so pro tip : what I like to do is eat a small fruit before I go over there to hold me off make my order and if you have a long wait time you can walk over to sprouts or 5Below while you wait. The great thing is you can hang out in the area and be walking distance as soon as they call you! Dania pointe is a perfect location. TIPS!!!! Now y'all this place is pricey so expect to pay But please TIP YOUR SERVER APPROPRIATELY!!! . Their tip for serving you and you family shouldn't lessen because your bill was high Overall expenses: my first experience eating their food was not the best as I did an Uber order lol If you're just ordering pancakes that's fine, But if you want a whole meal I don't think this is the kind of spot you order "carrier style" food from because if it gets to you in 40 minutes, it's not gonna be the quality you're expecting, but if you take some time to place a pick up order or go in person, you will not be disappointed. For my 3rd visit I ordered Wild Berry Lavender FrenchToast $15 Chickenchanga $14 Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl $13

    Trifecta with pancake and chicken apple sausage patties
    Shikira H.

    Brownie points to the hubs for remembering one of my favorite brunch spots after wrapping up a morning run so the carbs were happily welcomed. We arrived around 9:30 which is my best tip to avoid too long of a wait because this place packs up pretty quickly. With that said, we were rather quickly seated and chose outside since it was overcast and perfect for my post run dampness. We took a gander at the menu before arriving, so once our lovely, smiling waitress came over we already knew our choices. I picked their eggs with turkey sausage gravy and home fries, and he picked the trifecta of eggs, pancake, and chicken apple sausage patties. We even went a little crazy and threw in their million dollar bacon to share, which gave us three slices each. We washed everything down with morning meditation and purple haze juices. I've also mentioned before that their coffee is simply divine and can be enjoyed black, just the way I like it. I just had to have a little cup, so don't judge. The food came out quick after ordering and made for a pleasant experience.

    Everything about this place is great. From the food to the drinks to the service and atmosphere, it's lovely. First Watch has all day brunch items and it always hits the spot. There's always a crowd and the day I went with a group of 8, we were told 30 minute wait. Only about 10-15 minutes later, we were called. Our server was very friendly and gave good recommendations. Some favorites from our orders were the chikichanga, the giant multigrain pancakes with chocolate chips, the elevated egg sandwich and the morning market veg. The food came within 15-20 minutes and we were consistently checked on. When we were done, we were directed to pay at the front which was an easy process. The whole dining experience was a pleasant one.

    Purple Haze

    I'm a little torn on this review, but I'll lean toward the higher rating because I absolutely love First Watch and generally have a good experience. I joined the waitlist online and got in even before the estimated time, which was a pleasant surprise for 12:30pm on a Saturday during brunch rush. My husband's food came about 20-30 minutes after mine, and the waitress barely acknowledged it. Normally food comes out at the same time, but if not, at least a little sooner. 20-30 minutes apart is really excessive, to the point that it kind of ruined the experience. We had a hard time even getting our waitress's attention to ask her about it. When she brought the check, she did mention that she had taken it off of the bill, which was nice. Our food itself was all really good as always, but the super long wait without any update was really annoying.

    The Traditional & BLTE

    Service was absolutely amazing! Me & my boyfriend decided to visit this location on valentines day for a little breakfast, before arriving at the restaurant we joined the waitlist that you can find in their app (would suggest downloading that on busy days/holidays such as today) and was seated in about 5 minutes when we got there. The server was so kind and attentive & even though we were sat in a really small area it was expected due to the capacity of everyone inside, We expected her to forget about us or the service to be a bit slow but not at ALL, drinks came out quickly and so did our food it was definitely a smooth and lovely vibe from her and we would definitely be back!

I did opt for a pretzel bun instead of the normal bun, and it was very good. The cheese, the aioli, everything just came together perfectly--and I'm not usually a fan of cheese on chicken sandwiches. I'll try the normal bun next time, though. Not because it wasn't good, but just because judging by the way the flavors came together on my sandwich, these people obviously know what is best when it comes to food! I opted for the side salad instead of fries, and the salad was huge! Dressing was good as well. So of course, I went back and tried their coffee the next day, and I was equally blown away. So glad to have found my go-to coffee shop near Dania Point, because Starbucks' burnt-tasting lattes are such a disappointment. Dress light, because it was a bit warm inside, but the heat index is 105 degrees, so I can imagine their air conditioner is struggling just like the rest of us in this heat! We'll be going back tomorrow for breakfast and another coffee!

    Super disappointed with this place…read more Pros: The potatoes and eggs were good & the hot sauce has great flavor! Cons: First thing I did was use the restroom which had a horrible smell and the toilet needed cleaning. The service was good at first then fell off after we ordered our food- which was strange because it was not busy at all. We ordered the screwdriver & peach Bellini to drink. Steak & eggs and the Untoasted breakfast + side of ham. The screwdriver had an odd taste & the ham was extremely soft/squishy/seemed uncooked internally. The steak was not cooked well- but acceptable enough to eat. Our server never checked on us after we got our food which sucks because we needed a few things. A different server ended up walking by much later and asked if we needed help which is when I told her I'd like to send back the ham and screwdriver- both of which I barely took a bite/sip out of. I just told her I didn't like them and she got a bit of an attitude and wanted specifics as to why I didn't like it. I just reiterated i didn't like it and won't be consuming either so please take it back. We finished our food and no one ever came to our table again- while the workers were walking around helping the 5 other tables or talking amongst themselves. After sitting for 15+ minutes with our finished food, I just went to the front and waited for someone to check us out. I don't recommend this place and will not be back.

    **Absolutely Outstanding - Best Breakfast & Lunch in South Florida!**…read more I finally made it to **The New Lighthouse Caffe** and wow -- what a hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, the place feels bright, welcoming, and genuinely cozy, like a little slice of Italy meets a sunny Florida café. The breakfast menu is phenomenal -- everything is made fresh with high-quality ingredients and so much care. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the French Toast were fluffy and flavorful, and their omelettes and Benedicts are next-level delicious. We also tried lunch items and were equally impressed: hearty portions, beautiful presentation, and flavors that taste like they came straight from a family kitchen. What truly sets this place apart is **Chef Carlo** and **Lise**. Chef Carlo (a true Italian master with over 40 years of experience) pours his heart into every plate, and you can taste the passion and skill in every bite. Lise is incredibly warm and attentive -- they both make you feel like family from the very first visit. Whether you're stopping in for a relaxed breakfast (served all day!), a satisfying lunch, or just a perfect cup of coffee and a slice of that legendary cake, this is the spot. Friendly service, spotless restaurant, and food that keeps you coming back. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and go. You'll leave smiling, full, and already planning your next visit. Thank you, Chef Carlo and Lise -- keep doing what you do so beautifully! Highly, highly recommend!

The interior and decor is very clean and captivating. Creating the perfect environment to enjoy a nice meal or drink. The cocktail menu was very impressive! While I didn't have a drink, seeing their cocktail menu was enough to know I had to come back for drinks. Started off with a single shot of espresso and a Cortado. The coffee was good and the custom glass wear it was served in made for an elevated coffee experience. After browsing the menu, the Shakshuka called my name! The perfect bowl of tomato sauce with peppers and onions. The spices were fragrant and created a very balanced dish and of course the eggs were perfectly cooked and runny when you break into them. After a savory breakfast the sweet tooth kicked in. Our server suggested the cheesecake that came with a table side pour of chocolate. The only downside to this dessert was I didn't want to share it lol I would literally come back here just for that cheesecake it was that freaking good. Overall Thanks To Harrison's beautiful environment, great tasting coffee, and unique European Fusion Cuisine brings unique flavors to Hollywood that is worth traveling for. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu.

The food was good but I wasn't allowed to swap out the poached or sunny side up eggs. I had to order a side eggs in a different style if I wanted to have the eggs my way. At least I was able to get the sunny side up eggs over medium. The avocado toast was piled quite high and very difficult to eat, but it was tasty. The steak was ice cold when it was served! Honestly, I think Egor forgot about the order and it sat in the back for a while, because I waited a long time for the food. Egor did not check on me after delivering the food. I felt like I had to keep hunting him down for more drinks and a dessert menu. It wasn't very busy in there. He also forgot to bring out the dessert all together. I had to ask him and when he brought it out, it was clearly already made sitting in the back. He just needed to get it. The ambiance is nice and the bar is cute. I probably won't return because the service was subpar, the food can't be changed to my liking, and the food was cold. I'm disappointed because I really wanted to like this place.
