    Seasonal Carne Asada Hash with a
    Kathy L.

    I was in much need of breakfast since arriving early in the area for an appointment. I was seated once I arrived, luckily they weren't busy yet but had a steady stream of customers coming & going. My server Ella was immediately at my table to take my drink order, which was a coffee ( flavored creamer & sugars options were already available on the table) & a water. I ordered seasonal Carne Asada Hash with a side of million $ bacon. Let me tell you.... This was a lot of food. The hash was loaded with potatoes, steak, eggs, pico, avocado. So full of flavor & the tortillas were a nice touch. The million $ bacon was good definitely seasoned but not spicy ( to me) at all. Ella kept checking on me throughout my meal & I really enjoyed the chill atmosphere while taking my time & enjoy my breakfast

    We love First Watch restaurants, this is another great one! It was very busy and they said we could sit at the communal table, an elongated table near the entrance with 10 chairs. So we did and so glad we did. Had a great time visiting people headed to a rodeo, a student on spring break with her mom and a couple businessmen headed to visit a factory. We were told that not a lot of FW restaurants have this type of table. Food was ordered and it came out fast. I had the power wrap. A delicious turkey wrap with mushrooms, egg white, spinach on a sun dried tomato basil wrap. I thought it was great! My SO Parmesan prosciutto & egg special on sourdough bread. It was special! Loved everything about this FW! As Arnold said, 'I'll be back!'

    My husband and I have begun to eat here on a weekly breakfast date on the weekends. We get breakfast on Sundays before the NFL football games, which starts our "sports-viewing" off right. We really enjoy our dining experiences here. The staff are always friendly, helpful, informative and efficient, no matter how crazy-busy they are. It seems that the entire staff runs like a smoothly-oiled machine. Once we are seated, the server usually comes to ask our drink preferences almost immediately. Everything else happens in a timely fashion without much wait-time. Of our many visits, we have never had a dish that was unappetizing or negative in any way. Because the food is tasty, the staff is courteous and the prices are reasonable, we will continue to dine here on our breakfast dates.

    The food was delicious,staff members were very friendly and didn't try to rush us out.We were able to relax and enjoy our meal .

    Disappointment over a summer burrito
    Wendy B.

    Normally I would give First Watch a five star everytime, but not today! To the First Watch CEO Chris Tomasso My husband was excited to come to First Watch this morning, where he learned that the summer menu has been changed to the fall menu. He was even willing to pay extra for the Burrito. No go! To see the disappointed on his face because his burrito is not on the menu. He says "I have to wait 8 months" " what happened to customer satisfaction" "Everyone else got what they wanted but me". Please place this man summer burrito on the regular menu so I can stay a loyal customers year around...

    1/2 Sandwich & Salad Sweet Honey Pecan Salad Monterey Club

    Best $11.99 pick two lunch special in town. Choices of half sandwiches, salads or cup of soup. I picked the club and a salad that has a delicious pecan, bacon and chicken dressing. All ingredients are fresh and made to order. The to go service is always fast and efficient.

    Good spot to grab a bite...usually busy until closer to 1...not too bad if you eat it outside. Inside is crowded and loud, but regardless, food is fresh and good. They have specials each month, and this month is cinnamon spice...I tried the hibiscus drink and it was pretty tart, but since I'm not a fan of cinnamon I had them hold the cinnamon sugar spice on the rim...it probably would habe helped. The servers are ok, when they are busy, if you are outside, it may take them time tonget back with you. I've also ordered to go online from here, and it is super easy and convenient (as long as you can find a parking spot).

    I love first watch but the food is a bit overpriced for the quality that I receive sometimes. Service and atmosphere was amazingly positive though!!

    This place was recommended by a co-worker and it lived up to the hype. The food was outstanding, fresh, and mind blowing. The whole pancakes are very large, tasty, and eye candy. Got the Banana one and tasted like Banana pudding. The kale juice was out of this world for a healthy drink, I could drink this everyday. My wife loved her whole pancake and morning meditation juice as well. On a scale of 1 to ten, she rated them both a ten. The place was very busy and were seated in ten minutes. The waitress was fast and friendly. The place was spacious, with tables both inside and outside. Plenty of parking on it's lot. Definitely will be back to try more stuff.

    Creamy cheesy grits with shrimp, sausage, peppers and sun dried tomatoes. I found it to be good, minus the sun dried tomatoes.

    The food has never disappointed. The service is always attentive and helpful. The atmosphere is nice and clean, like your typical first watch restaurant.

    The Traditional Breakfast
    Kaelin C.

    I have been here multiple times and every time is amazing. The food menu is extensive and if you're with a group, everyone wil find exactly what suits their fancy that day. Traditional breakfast/ lunch is a solid staple, but their grain bowls with quinoa is usually where i end up. I also love their juices (kale and morning are yum!) and get those often. Service is great and friendly, and usually on weekends there is a bit of a wait because of how popular it is. On sundays we tend to order delivery and it's always prompt and delicious-something i look forward to!

    Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl
    Olga S.

    Great food, great service, awesome juices. We tried their seasonal pomegranate pear juice. It was delish. I wanted to try something different this time so I went with the pesto chicken quinoa bowl. Boy was a happy with my choice. It was bursting with flavor and had plenty of chicken. It was the perfect portion size and the price is right on point. The only think I would add is some pine nights for some crunch. The chocolate chip pancake was excellent. It was huge but my son was able to finish half of it.

Located just to the right and around the corner of the main visitor hospital entrance a few hundred feet past the hospitals on site cafe. This bistro operates as its own entity and as mentioned is basically a Starbucks affiliation that offers a few different breakfast sandwich options. Between having my 5 daughters born at this hospital and visiting family and friends I have visited this bistro at least 2-3 times. A couple times for a hot chocolate run from Starbucks and I've also gotten a Bacon egg and cheese croissant a few times. They actually have a really good breakfast sandwich and it is always a nice quick and tasty meal when on the run. As mentioned outside the bistro is a few tables and chairs so you can dine there, take it a few hundred feet away and downstairs to the main cafe area, to your room or your home. Pricing is a tad bit on the high side but you kinda expect that with a hospital bistro that Carries the Starbucks drinks and pastries but not necessarily there full franchised name. Overall This Is a cool perk for the hospital visitors and workers. Around 7-8am you will see all the shift change nurses lining up for there Starbucks to either get them home or prepared for a new shift. So the line can get lengthy but they usually are on top of it and keep the line moving quickly.

The space here is decent and seating can be limited depending how busy they are. It's like being in someone else's home while feeling at home at the same time.

Not the cafes fault but just makes it kind of hard to sip a coffee and chill. Overall though I loveee the coffee here.

She answered every question, knew everything about every sandwich, every soup and every dessert. She had the fastest assistants that brought us our drinks and kept our glasses filled and delivered our food. Their menu is very well laid out and full of the most amazing lunches. I didn't need to go past the Hot Brown! My husband and I both ordered Hot Browns. This is our very favorite item! It was delicious.
