    Pomegranate Sunrise
    Erica W.

    First Watch is always consistent and you can count on the food being decent. It was pretty busy on a late Friday morning but I was seated after about 10 min. The music was great as well as my server who helped me narrow down some options. I ordered from the regular menu (they had a spring menu available) - the AM bowl with a cranberry orange muffin, side of chicken sausage patties and a Pomegranate Sunrise. Everything was full of flavor, the Nutella was rich and filling although light on the stomach. I felt like I was eating healthy without sacrificing the taste. The cocktail was pretty strong for an 11a drink but I was on vacation :) If there's one in your city, it's always a great option to consider.

    Only my second time at this First Watch in Hollywood. The rustic southern decor was relaxing with an open kitchen concept. Ordered the vegetable omelette with potatoes and thick wheat toast and they provide a raspberry preserve. My dad ordered the blueberry pancakes which was only two fluffy slices but was enormous and I helped him eat the last few bites. The server was super friendly and on top of the coffee refills. The server provides the bill although you pay at the front counter. They offer bags of First Watch - Project Sunrise Coffee for a reasonable $8.00. The bathroom was decent with modern tiled flooring complemented by black smaller tile up the walls. The four rolls of toilet paper was strange. They offer two men's and two women's private bathrooms which was a smart idea especially in an eatery.

    Came here after a day at the beach, we were the first ones in and they greeted us politely. We placed our order and it seemed like she was new which isn't a problem. She just kept repeating what we wanted and would bring out the wrong this. I was just confused because she would repeat it correctly and would bring something else. She was kind and nice, it didn't bother me because I understand how it is when you're new especially in the food industry. But the food was great and so was the service besides that.

    I always appreciate a good breakfast, and while I love the first-watch menu, I enjoy exploring different places too. I had the chance to visit this lovely spot for the first time, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quick service. My order arrived in a timely manner, which was great. I chose the asada hash, and it was quite tasty. I would rate it a solid seven out of ten just because it was a bit salty . The waitress was very friendly and welcoming, though she didn't introduce herself. The atmosphere was vibrant, even if it was a bit crowded, which added to the experience. Out of the seven places I've tried, this one has definitely secured a spot in my top two or three. Thank you for the wonderful service!

    Farmhouse Hash
    Tanya H.

    We came here about a week ago for my mom's birthday. This was not our original choice, as the other breakfast spot nearby had an enormous wait and super small dining area. We were pleased to only have to wait about 20 minutes to be seated. Our waitress was super kind and indulged our request for a group picture after our meal. My dish - on the day's menu - was very similar to the farmhouse hash with sourdough toast, and it was good and plentiful. I enjoyed that our food was served quickly on such a busy morning.

    Spiked- Watermelon wake up
    Clara A.

    I have been to first watch and this location is the first time I came here. They were super busy like always. We went at around 12:30-1pm and there was about a 30 min wait. The server we had was a tad slower but I think it's because she had too many tables to serve. The watermelon wake was so refreshing and I loved the little kick of alcohol that it had. The food however was not that great. The veggies were very sour not sure if it was the sun dried tomatoes or what but it did not taste the best at all. Not the best experience I've had a first watch.

    Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee
    Yulaidi S.

    Went here with my girlfriend for a late breakfast/brunch. When we got there it was super packed and we would've had to wait a long time but the hostess was kind enough to let us know of the community table they have which had space for us. We sat at the community table which could seat 8 people in total. 3 were already sitting in it and one joined us later. Service in the community table is pretty quick and you get the added luxury of more or less knowing when someone will come serve you or the food comes by when it happens to others in the table. We all seemed to share the same server (who was amazing by the way, what great service despite the craziness on how packed they were) who did a great job of knowing who to go to first etc.. I got the Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee and went with the 2 for you deal that let's you get half a sandwich and a soup or salad. I went with the Ham & Grueyere Melt for the sandwich and the Chicken Avocado Chpp Salad. My girlfriend got the ice coffee (which we didn't realize would already have milk in it so we had it replaced with a cold brew - which was recommended by our server who overheard us talking about replacing the iced coffee) and the Hawaiian French toast and million dollar bacon. The food overall was great. My sandwich was so good, I finished it even tho I ended up getting full st some point during my meal. The salad was amazing. Definitely don't think it's on the healthy side but it's so good I don't care. I tried my girlfriends bacon (which I put one slice into my sandwich) and a bite of her French toast. The French toast was great but my gf said the pineapple didn't seem in season (taking her word for it cause I hate pineapple). The bacon was amazingly sinful (one of our comrades in the community table jokingly said the bacon was a sin) . Overall the service, food, and experience were great. Price seems aligned with the service/food. Would come here again.

    Came here early on a Sunday morning. It was not crowded and they had a special going on. We tried the blueberry cornbread muffin, it came with lemon butter and was scrumptious! Better than the breakfast. The service was fast and friendly I would definitely come to this location again.

    Seasonal Honey Caramel Crunch Iced coffee
    Ellie W.

    I've been coming to first watch pretty frequently since it opened and it never disappoints me. I love how they have a seasonal menu and drinks and their usual menu. The staff is also always very friendly and service is very prompt. I ordered my favorite farmhouse hash with a biscuit and it was very delicious I love that they put haas avocado on it adds a different texture to the fluffy eggs and crispy potatoes. We also got the million dollar bacon which was crispy sweet and spicy it was so delicious! it usually gets pretty busy on weekends so I recommend getting their early or putting your name on the waitlist online and checking in when you arrive I've noticed it helps me get seated faster when I do this. Overall the atmosphere is very clean and inviting which is defintely a reason I frequent here so much.

    1st time here,  looks good!

    The food and drinks were very good here. Highly recommend! Fresh juices, yummy drinks. Ricotta French toast was so good. Service was quick and friendly.

    I love First Watch. They do so much right. The portion size to value ratio is quite a bargain I chose the Parma skillet hash. Italian sausage, Crimimi mushrooms sun dried tomato and cheese mixed with the seasoned potatoes. 2 eggs on top and it is perfect! Aside from being greeted by the hostess with "...only one?" (a pet peeve of mine when I dine solo) the service was right on point. Who doesn't like a whole pot of coffee and carafe of water...? The place as casual with hardwood floors and comfortable seating. Another great option is pay by phone. So until my next venture into Hollywood, Cheers!!

    How do I use Yelp to make a reservation in advance?

    I don't think you can make reservations. I use the No Wait app to "get in line" so I don't have to wait when I get to the restaurant.

    We've seen their sign for a couple of years now on Federal heading north between Hollywood and…read moreSheridan. The name never landed with us as it sounded like a standalone food court. It was the sign underneath that read, "Too tired to cook today?" that made us take notice. Looking at the online menu we found that it was not only a who's who of Latin dishes of different nationalities, but they also served bar fare - chicken wings, burgers, quesadillas, etc. Not knowing what their specialty was, we never committed to it. But today was one of those days where we felt like something different and we took a chance. The gamble paid off big. The menu was all over the place, so not knowing what direction to go in, I addressed the waiter who was all too ready to help. He pointed me to some of his faves: the Bandeja Paisa, Lomo Saltado, and Ropa Vieja. I'd had my eye on the Lomo Saltado, a popular Peruvian stir fry dish. The Bandeja Paisa is Colombian, and the Ropa Vieja - Cuban. I asked him what the nationality of the ownership was, when he revealed it was Colombian. I was immediately skeptical of ordering the ropa vieja - being half Cuban, I could not fathom the idea of a Colombian-owned restaurant pulling this off. So Joe took one for the team there. The waiter assured me that everything he has tried has in fact been delectable. But hey, what else is he supposed to say? But no, he assured me these were not marketing words, but words of experience. So I went for the Lomo Saltado which was served with black beans and rice, and french fries. He didn't hesitate to vouch for the black beans... I think he sensed my Colombian skepticism. Joe had replaced his fries for sweet plantains, so I took his cue and substituted my fries for tostones. But, not before warning the waiter that I would be particularly particular about the quality of my favorite plantain dish. He gave me a confident nod - so I played along. Joe's dish came out a few seconds before mine, and being the impatient carnivore that I am, I (let's say borrowed) his ropa vieja before he had a chance to pick up his fork. I was very pleasantly surprised. On par with any old clothes I have tried at any Cuban restaurant... and even better than some, albeit in longer strands than I've experienced. However, extremely juicy, full of flavor and tender. Then came my Lomo. I'm a first-timer, so I have nothing to compare it to, but it was fan-tastic. A bit charred outside with a juicy medium innard that cuts like butter, and to my relief, deceivingly tender. The lomo napped on a bed of sautée-charred veggies whose sweetness was a nicely balanced contrast to the savory meat. The black beans were definitely on point and seasoned with Colombian love. And those ten-ton-tostones!!! By far the thickest fried medallions I've had, but with a brutally loud crunch and still a real easy chew. And unlike John Travolta in a black T-Bird jacket, totally Greaseless. Often times, tostones of this variety are tough and as chewable as week-old yellow paper mache. Nope, these are some of the best tostones I've had in a couple of years. But by far the best of their kind. I also borrowed one of Joe's sweet plantations which once again left no trace of greased lightning and were rendered a perfect dark brown with a nice and plush sunshine yellow inside. The portions were more than generous and the price was comfortably modest. I expressed my deepest gratitude to our waiter for his patience and his spot on recommendations. He also swore by their burger which he had just sampled for the first time and which is made partly with Colombian chorizo and served with a side of chimichurri. Chorizo and chimichurri for little cha-ching.... I'm sure I'll be chowing on that real soon. Food Corner is a cornucopia of Latin influences, and so far, it's also a master of two of them.

    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.
