    I went to First Watch with my daughter for lunch. I drink a lot of iced tea and my server Stacie hooked me up and even brought me a tea to go! The food was great as usual and our server was AWESOME. Stacie also made my daughter's honey crunch iced coffee and she said it was amazing!

    The food was good and hot. The atmosphere was nice a little loud in there because it echoes, but it was very pleasant hour. Staff was excellent. Everything was cooked to perfection.

    Been here a few times and it's always been a great experience. Staff is always friendly, food has always been so good! Even when there is a wait, it's not along one. Lots of healthy choices on menu as well!

    Came here this past Saturday and had a delicious breakfast. Their cold brew is on point! I had the salmon omelet and I did like it however everyone else that I was with their meal looked sooo much better haha guess I gotta go back soon. The waitress really didn't talk to us much. She seemed annoyed that we were even there ‍ I would definitely suggest calling abs making a reservation before you leave your house

    I went to First Watch for breakfast and was immediately greeted by friendly smiling staff. I was seated right away and throughout my visit, I had never really had to wait too long for anything. My drink would start getting low and it would get replaced. Great Service!! I liked how they had a variety of different healthy options to choose from. I ordered the A.M. Superfoods Bowl which was absolutely delicious!! Overall, great experience!!

    Very nice experience. Especially when your daughter pays for it (she had a gift card which covered most - lol). I had the Breakfast Tacos. Excellent! Lots of food. She had the Eggs Benedict. Too much for her to finish. And of course we shared a plate of Million Dollar Bacon. Delicious! Service is fast and attentive. OH! and I almost forgot - the coffee is excellent.

    Our favorite first watch! So much better than the one on university plaza drive, worth the drive. Food was bussin! Servers were so friendly and got our orders right. They are very busy on a Sunday but we only had a 5-10 min wait. There was only a few wilted leafs in my salad. The chickichanga was cooked perfectly and looked photo worthy. The people in the kitchen care about how the food tastes and that is so rare. The padded benches are actually comfortable unlike most first watches. It's right next to Ember.

    An absolute must if you're in the area! Came for Saturday brunch and they brought us straight back, no wait even though they were bustling! Such a cool ambiance.

    Love the barbacoa Breakfast Tacos . Service was really good and the staff was very attentive. Chill type of vibe.

    Safety first, please.

    First Watch in Ft. Myers...this little gem has a well kept secret. We came here about a year ago and every time we go to Ft. Myers we stop by for some of their refreshing Morning Glory drink. This time like all the other times in town we picked up a few juices and cups of coffee to start our day. Are they social distancing? Yes, they are. Are they cleaning after every guest? Yes, they are. Do the employees have masks? Yes, they do. Are they doing outdoor seating? Not sure. Are we hoping to go again the next time we are in town? Yes, we are. We may not eat at the restaurant because lately we haven't been eating out, but we will definitely pick up some drinks.

She made us feel welcomed, made great suggestions about some of their must-have dishes and highlighted their summer specials - $25 two course lunch menu and $39 three course dinner menu- which are great deals. The cocktails we ordered were delicious with great presentation. I had the blazin cucumber and my friend had blackberry smash mojito- both were great! We ordered guacamole with tap 42 touch - highly recommend - and crispy rice salmon -yum! For our mains we got the mahi mahi sandwich and their popular chicken Cesar wrap.

Caesar was mid with not much chicken - that one didn't feel good value for money. Waiter did his initial speech, took orders and then fell off face of earth. No refills until asked while getting the check after grabbing his attention (he looked confused about why we needed him). He seemed to be struggling to handle his section. We're not elderly but the music (inside) was a notch too loud. Made it hard to hear the waiter and talking amongst ourselves was annoying. It wasn't "fun loud" - just annoying. Side notes - the booth spelled bad. Like someone had wet themselves. Might be the material. Was gross. Almost left right away. Inside was weirdly humid too. I get we are in Florida but other restaurants seem to have figured it out. Probably won't be back.

It's sports themed through and through with a special emphasis decor wise on baseball. The parking lot was pretty full right outside the restaurant which is on the first floor of the Double Tree hotel with its own separate entrance. Inside, it was half full which was surprising as it was early. The bar was pretty busy, too -- with a few loud drunk guys talking a bit too loudly. Annoyingly so. The kids had pizza from the children's menu. One of the kids (with allergies) had grilled salmon. Two of the adults had the fire cracker shrimp appetizer (including me). It had a slight kick. The breaded shrimp were slathered in sauce which I scraped off a bit. But the shrimp were good. The other adult had the burger sliders appetizer. He said they were good with plenty of grilled onions. Price wise, it wasn't too bad. The server nicely explained which drinks came with refills and which did not. That was helpful. And she provided crayons and a coloring activity page to keep the kids busy. We wouldn't normally come to a hotel restaurant unless we were staying nearby. But if you have a kid into baseball, they would like the decor, the photos, and all the TVs showing sports.

We split our time between…read moreCleveland, Ohio and Fort Myers, and this place has become one of our favorite spots whenever we're in town. What makes Mango Rita's so special is the incredible lineup of tribute bands they bring in every week. If you grew up on the music of the 70s, 80s, and 90s like we did, this place is a dream. We've seen amazing tributes to bands like KISS, Duran Duran, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, Mötley Crüe and more--and the quality of the bands is outstanding. In fact, the shows are so good that we sometimes plan our trips to Fort Myers around which bands are playing! Beyond the music, the atmosphere is fantastic and the crowd always seems to be having a great time. It's one of those places where everyone is there to enjoy the music and have fun. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owners, J.J. and her husband, and hearing their story. They previously owned one of the largest nightclubs on the East Coast in Maryland before bringing their passion for live music to Fort Myers Beach. After Hurricane Ian destroyed their original location, they rebuilt their vision further inland--and we're so glad they did. They're a wonderful couple and you can tell how much heart they put into this place. If you love live music, especially classic rock and iconic bands, Mango Rita's Rhythm Room is an absolute must-visit. We look forward to every show and can't wait for many more nights of great music there!

Our server was quickly at our table to take our drink order and invite us to proceed to the buffet. They offered a nice selection of meats, veggies and salad. The prime rib and ham at the carving station was quite tasty. For meat on the buffet, they offered chicken and salmon, both also tender and tasty. I also really enjoyed their roasted baby potatoes, they were quite flavorful. There was an omelet and waffle station and on the buffet, they had scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon and biscuits with gravy. I skipped all the breakfast items and focused on the lunch meat, veggies and potatoes. I only went up once and was thoroughly stuffed. Oh, and the Bloody Mary with Tito's vodka was pretty tasty, too. The dessert table had a nice variety of breads, cookies, cupcakes, donuts, etc. I would say they tasted good, but were not over the top. That said, I really did appreciate the selection and the care they took to ensure the table was clean and full of sweet treats. It was a busy environment, but casual and it didn't feel too hectic.
