    The Traditional
    Chantel S.

    Came here around 8am for Mother's Day and this place was already packed! Can definitely tell it's popular among locals, and even with the crowds we were seated with only a short wait. The vibe is a mix of new American with classic diner, with elevated menu options but simplistic service including pour your own coffee and creamer packets on the table. We started with the holey donuts and they were quite tasty dipped in the homemade preserves. The texture is more like a churro than a donut though, and while tasty not the fluffy delight we were expecting. For breakfast we had the Traditional, the Bacado Omelet, the Farmhouse Hash and the Hawaiian Toast (a spring special). The standout was the omelet, creamy from the avocado and cheese and balanced ratio of filling to egg. The Hawaiian toast was underwhelming, lacking in coconut and tropical flavors as promised. The Hawaiian toast took an additional 10minutes to arrive to the table, so we were all eating at different paces. The service was attentive although slightly off-standish. We also felt a little rushed, understanding it was a busy time but clearing plates while we still are using forks to grab food is a little excessive. Overall it's a decent breakfast, and for available selections around the town it's a good option.

    Yogurt with a few granola sprinkles

    The sunrise granola bowl should be called the sunrise yogurt bowl because that's practically all that's in it. I ordered it to go based on the food description and the picture on the menu. What I ended up getting was a giant container of yogurt with a few granola sprinkles on top three blueberries one blackberry and one piece of pineapple. That is a lot of money for a bowl of yogurt. I thought the granola was supposed to have almonds in it. I didn't get enough granola to even get an almond. Absolute scam

    Elote Breakfast Burrito

    Was pretty loud and hard to have a conversation. Great food and service! It's hard to mess up a First Watch experience

    FW was one of the pioneers of breakfast and lunch, fast casual restaurants. They have not strayed from their mission of offering a wide selection of high quality breakfast options. Today I was greeted promptly by Olivia. I chose the Chilie Chorizo omelet with cheese grits. It was a nice warm and flavorful meal on a crisp Fall day

    Avocado Toast

    Such a cute little spot! We walked in a quickly got a table for 6, the service was great and so was the food! They even let me swap the eggs on the avo toast for potatoes (to make it vegan)!

    Warm wishes menu!

    This First Watch location serves excellent food prepared well. There is ample staffing and service is speedy. This location is in a a shopping center with a number of business so navigating the parking can be tricky. I generally do not love paying $30 for bacon and eggs. First Watch has a decent variety on their menu to make breakfast an adventure!

    Summer Seasonal Elote
    Laryssa F.

    I love First Watch. I have found a new love at FW however, I'm sad that my favorite is only around for the summer! It is the Elote. This is EVERYTHING. It has corn, eggs, potato, chorizo, tortillas, lime, avocado, and then this spicy crema sauce. *chef kiss. We also love the Elevated Egg sandwich and the AM Superfood Bowl. Really everything we have had we have liked. I do really love their special toast with almond butter with sea salt flakes. That is ballah.

The food was fantastic. I don't remember what we got that time but it was memorable enough that we said we should go there for drinks and dinner. So a few months ago, not really craving anything particular and fresh off a hike but starving we decided to give it a try. Blown away. Food was exceptional. I got the salmon which is basically ordering fancy chicken at a restaurant. It was delicious. And the risotto was absolutely incredible. Service was great. When we asked what the server recommended he didn't give us a run around and say "well everything is good". He gave concrete recommendations and nailed it. Great place to go especially with family. Seems like it's a lot fun too

We were all shocked to see the change in the breakfast potatoes... the au gratin potatoes have always been delicious and so unique to anything else at any breakfast/brunch spot in town, so when the plates arrived with fried potatoes you can get anywhere else, it was disappointing. The same dish we have always gotten, the Monte Cristo, was lackluster today. When we mentioned the potatoes the response from our waiter was "yeah that's been a common complaint"... which makes it obvious that we weren't the only ones who have brought it up and asked about the change. The service was decent and the food was good, but none of it compared to what it has been in the past. Oddly enough it was also quite empty for a Sunday at 10AM when were used to seeing it packed in there. Perhaps others have noticed changes that are less than customer-centric? Why make such a change to a staple item which then makes the meal no different than what I can find elsewhere for less money? Sadly it make not make the list next year when company is back in town when it's typically been their request.

We were seated promptly upon arrival although did wait a bit for a server to appear. We arrived at the tail end of happy hour so that was nice. Happy hour is available at any table in the restaurant. We ordered appetizers of smoked trout dip and baked scallops. Both were tasty. Main courses were duck and fresh catch of the day which was trout. The trout and the veggies served with it were delicious. Whipped parsnips, roasted carrots, snap peas and spinach topped with a nice filet of trout. This place is small but very cute on the inside. Make sure to notice the ceiling fan. They have a large outdoor patio too.

Unfortunately, this visit was completely different. The service was extremely disappointing from start to finish. We waited about 20 minutes just for drinks and eventually had to go up to the bar ourselves. When we asked about it, the bartender simply said, "I'm working on it," which was frustrating given how long we had already been waiting. There were 4 tales in the restaurant and like 8 employees Things did not improve from there. Our food came out very slowly and one of the meals had to be sent back. We ended up having to go to the bar multiple times, including for a to go box and even to get our check, because no one was checking on our table. To make matters worse, the menu states that guests are asked to limit their visit to 90 minutes. However, due to the slow and inattentive service, we were there for nearly two hours through no fault of our own. There also used to be a sense of customer service here, which seems to have changed. To top it off, gratuity was automatically added without it being mentioned or explained. That felt especially inappropriate considering we ended up doing a large portion of the service ourselves. It's like they figured they were getting auti gratuity so didn't provide any service Really disappointing experience overall. Not sure what changed, but this was a huge step down from our previous visit.
