Kale Tonic
Madison L.

My coworkers and I came back for lunch and we had another great experience. This location always has the best service, fresh food, and a cozy atmosphere. To drink, I got the kale tonic. It's so refreshing and just sweet enough to not make me mad about the kale. For my meal, I had the double bacon parm hash. The potatoes were perfection, the parm sauce was insane, and the bacon was perfectly cooked. The fresh arugula salad on top was bright and evened out the dish. Overall, a perfect meal.

The heathy turkey
Janberto D.

Great server and service, I got the the heathy turkey sad to say barely any turkey. And the potatoes were bit undercooked. The restaurant was very nice just a bad day I guess .

One of the healthy juice drinks! Very delicious!
Christine S.

One of my favorite First Watch locations in Central Florida. This location is always fairly busy, but that doesn't stop the staff from being friendly and kind. I've always loved the farmhouse look of these restaurants. I also love that all locations have their own mural and decor to honor the local city they're in. The food is always delicious! I come for the seasonal meals. The best ones are the hash bowls and different burritos. I'll definitely be back! They are a chain, so you know you'll get consistent service.

Roast beef sandwich
Elizabeth S.

This is my second time trying First Watch and I was impressed once again. It's rare to find so many healthy options at a diner so that's big to me. The service was good and they were willing to accommodate my substitution requests. This is a down to earth place to get a good bite with the fam for breakfast or lunch!

Healthy Turkey

A nice cozy experience here at First Watch in Longwood. Service was quick and friendly. My omelette was excellent.

5.4.24
Carroll N.

5.4.24 We had a party of 15 and arrived at 10:30. We were told that they only do call ahead and not reservations. When we arrived, we were informed the wait would be about 20 minutes. It ended up being closer to 40 minutes. I thought we would be seated together, but we had to sit separately at three different tables. Aside from the wait time and having to sit separately, the rest of our visit went seamlessly. The service and our food was fantastic. I loved my tri-fecta which included bacon, Belgian waffle, and two eggs (scrambled).

Eggs Benedict
Anna T.

Love First watch! We came on Mother's Day and could not believe they were able to seat us in less than 20 minutes. I got the millionaires bacon and a traditional eggs Benedict. The meal was fantastic and I love their breakfast potatoes. My friend is gluten free and they also had gluten free bread which was a pleasant discovery. They have lots of healthy as well as lots of indulgent breakfast options. Always a fan.

Million $ breakfast sandwich and a purple haze beverage to drink...both off the seasonal fall menu...
Brandon M.

Possibly the most expensive brunch I've ever had, but also one of the best brunch meals I've ever had. I tried the purple haze beverage and the million $ breakfast sandwich off of the seasonal fall menu and both were fantastic! The sandwich featured the million $ bacon on a pork sausage patty, cheese, a runny egg and fresh arugula all inside a lightly toasted English muffin. Served with side greens with a little lemon vinaigrette, but you can substitute potatoes or fruit as a side option. It's not often I eat everything on my plate, but I think I've discovered one of my new, favorite brunch spots. The dining area was clean and all the staff were very attentive and friendly. The only thing keeping this from a five-star review is the cost, but I don't expect less from a delicious, non-GMO brunch-spot. I'll be back soon to try some of those lemon ricotta pancakes.

Pancake, Potatoes & Cheese Grits
Arion M.

Yum yum! This place has become my favorite brunch spot. The food is consistently good and SURPRISINGLY seasoned! I want to go here on a daily basis staff is fine and the atmosphere is the same as your typical brunch spot.

I have been there twice. The first time the food was fair at best. Overpriced but we made the best…read moreof it as it was a rare date night for my husband and I. The server seemed new. He was nice but appeared to need more training to be up to par for the price point. The decor was nice inside but the location does not give a good first impression and cheapens the experience. It is located in an older shopping plaza and is unkept. I think they are trying for a speakeasy vibe but it isn't being pulled off. The second time we went, we made a reservation to listen to their live music with some appetizers and a cocktail. It was spontaneous as we found ourselves child-free for the night at the last minute. Upon arrival we were told that 'we have a dress code and shorts are not allowed.' Mind you, the dress code says 'no gym shorts' and we didn't have on gym shorts or athletic wear. We weren't dressed up but were wearing decent outfits and nice shoes (no sandals of any kind). Needless to say, there will not be a third visit. Do not recommend.

This is an interesting place. To be honest, I almost drove right passed it when I turned into the…read morestrip mall as it's next to Chamberlin. But there is a cute neon sign that's lit and says "yes this is the place". Pretty funny. So first things first: the location is weird. However the atmosphere and decor inside is very well done. You open the door and are immediately greeted by the host/hostess. It's dark and moody. You turn to the right and suddenly you are in a very swanky environment. You forget where you parked in no time. The drinks: bottle of Tapestry, bees knees with tequila since they ran out of gin. They also ran out of St. Germaine liquor son only two rounds of putting on the fits, the fireside cinnamon sip, an old fashion and a espresso martini. They were all deliciously hand crafted and made to order.. The food: we were a group of 6 ladies and we ordered the Georgia peach salad, the tomato bisque (soup of the day) homemade bread (supposed to be focaccia but was actually French bread), salmon, cheese wheel pasta with shrimp, lobster linguine (I believe), filet and the cheese wheel with filet. For dessert: some molten chocolate (which burned my finger to no one's fault by my own as they did warn me) and the apple pie. The standouts: Georgia peach salad and tomato bisque, salmon & the cheese wheel pasta. As well as both desserts. Additional note: the service was great. The attention to detail to accommodate our coats and purses was thoughtful The cons: who charges $3 for a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese ? The chef is Italian and didn't think that the lobster one should have cheese on it. That's strange. Was it worth the hefty price tag - probably not Would I go again? Maybe for their happy hour but probably not for dinner.

I have a complicated relationship with First Watch…read more It's kind of like that actor who's been incredible in some movies and absolutely unbearable in others. I've had experiences at certain First Watch franchise locations that left me questioning not only the meal, but several of my life choices leading up to it. So when I walked into this location in the Fern Park/Casselberry (Altamonte Springs) area, I'll admit it... I came in cautiously optimistic at best. Thankfully, this visit reminded me why the chain became popular in the first place. Right away, the staff stood out for being personable and genuinely pleasant. Not the robotic "corporate friendly" where someone smiles while dead behind the eyes. Actual warm, attentive service that made the place feel welcoming. And here's something restaurant owners should probably frame on the wall because it's becoming weirdly rare these days: the food was cooked correctly and served hot. Hot. As in actually warm when it hit the table and not sitting under a heat lamp long enough to qualify for Social Security. I ordered the omelette, and it absolutely hit the spot. Comfort food done properly. Fluffy, flavorful, filling, and exactly what I wanted breakfast to be. My daughter ordered the steak and egg hash, and visually... let's just say this isn't a dish entering any beauty pageants. It kind of arrives looking like breakfast got into a small argument with itself. But one bite in and none of that mattered. It was rich, hearty, luscious, and cooked just right. The kind of dish where every bite feels indulgent enough that you briefly stop caring about cholesterol or responsibility. This location honestly felt dialed in. The kitchen was on point, the service was strong, and the overall experience reminded me that consistency is what separates a good restaurant visit from a forgettable one. Because of my mixed history with First Watch overall, I can't quite bring myself to throw five stars into the air like confetti... but this particular location absolutely earned four stars and deserves credit for getting it right.

4.5 Stars Overall. 5 Service, 4.25 Food, 4.5 Ambiance, 3.0 Entering from and Exiting to SR 436…read more First Watch and their refresh has pleasantly surprised me, and as a result, stays on the "where can we go" options list when I meet others for breakfast. At this location when we recently met friends here, the best part of our visit was Vivian, our server. She was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and open to food options not on the menu. Specifically, one in our party asked for a side of quinoa, if possible, since this gluten-free food was not under the Sides menu. Vivian checked in back and happily delivered a small bowl of fresh quinoa. Secret menu item? I don't think so, but Vivian asked and made it happen! My wife and I ordered the Salmon with sautéed vegetables Frittata and the salad, and I chose the artisan bread. The frittatas were cooked just right and the sautéed veggies enhanced the Sockeye salmon, flavor-wise. The artisan bread was fresh and the slightly melted butter was just right. I also ordered the "Sunrise Project" coffee which comes in a carafe - I'm a big fan. Our table's orders arrived in a reasonable amount of time, accurately, and at the right temperature. Vivian kept us taken care of during our meal and with a genuine cheery attitude. The interior is bright, modern, and open up to the roof. The plentiful seating is a combination of tables and booths. Located separately was a juice and coffee bar. MISC East Altamonte Drive (SR 436) can be a challenge at times to enter into the parking lot and exit back on it. But don't let it stop you from enjoying this place.

I've been coming to Peach Valley in Lake Mary for over 20 years and have always enjoyed the food…read moreand service. Today, however, was especially memorable thanks to an amazing young lady who served us. Her name was Heaven, and the name truly fits her perfectly. She provided exceptional service and had such a natural and thoughtful way of communicating with guests. She was warm, friendly, and incredibly easy to connect with, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Her parents must be very proud of her--she is truly remarkable. We pray that she continues to be a blessing to the people God places in her path. And Peach Valley deserves recognition as well for making such a great hire.

The cafe is in the corner of the Peach Valley strip mall. Although there is a large parking lot,…read morethere weren't many spaces available, which is a good sign. The hostess and our server were very pleasant and attentive. Refills were abundant, which I like. I hate it when you wait forever for a second cup of coffee. The food was hot and fresh, and the menu clearly defined which items were gluten-free and vegetarian. The Greek omelet was excellent, with a good proportion of feta cheese. The home fries, not so much. They were greasy and sort of tasteless. The atmosphere is sort of a glorified hall. The ceilings are very high, no carpeting on the floor, so sound bounced everywhere. Decor was meh. Bathroom was very clean. Overall, a really good experience. It's only open for breakfast and lunch, but would be a good option whether for a quick meal or a larger celebration such as a birthday.

Our server was so kind as well was another employee that stopped by to chat with us. They offered suggestions and their fave menu items. My food was good. I really enjoyed the grits. My country fried steak was ok. I ordered rye toast but received multigrain. It was still delicious. I really wish they offered fountain sodas rather than cans at $2.99. Next time I would order coffee so I can get my caffeine fix. Also, I would prefer that they offered really butter instead of a butter/margarine blend. My last suggestion would be offering actual hot sauce mini bottles rather than a plastic cup of nondescript hot sauce. I have faith that this place will be great.
