    Pancakes!!
    Gerry L.

    For the last couple of years I have noticed several locations of First Watch popping up all over Miami, and being impressed with long lines forming outside. This past weekend our curiosity hit a fever pitch and we decided to give it a try. The basic premise of First Watch its a more polished and trendier version of Denny's or IHop, the only difference is their hour of operations is really taking breakfast-brunch serious because they closed by 2pm daily. So for our meal we came hungry and ready to sample from their vast menu. For starters we ordered their chicken breakfast soft tacos, which came with tender grilled chicken, scrambled eggs, pico del gallo, and topped with sliced avocados. Very impressed with the taste and quality of all ingredients and the side of seasoned potatoes were also perfect. For our main dish we all ordered something different to try, my wife ordered their avocado toast with sunny side up, I ordered their limited time breakfast sandwich (BEC) with cheese grits, our kids ordered pancakes with bacon and the ham and Gruyère melt sandwich. The avocado toast was one of the best I had in a while very creamy with clear chunks of avocado very tangy with the right amount of salt. The BEC was a breakfast sandwich on steroids it included freshest folded eggs, bacon, cheese, arugula lettuce, their house aioli sauce on a toasted sourdough bread with a great crunch. The BEC as well as the ham and Gruyère sandwiches delivered on both bold flavors and texture. The pancakes were also delicious and were not over cooked giving it the right fluffy texture and it went well with the house syrup. My wife also ordered a yogurt parfait with a peanut butter toast very fresh and clean dish. Like I mentioned prior most of the sides consisted of breakfast potatoes and the cheesy grits which both sides hit the spot. Even though we were stuffed we made room for their donut holes , the donuts were very dense but moist interior and it went well with the dipping sauces. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the service were very attentive, we can't wait to make a return.

    Excellent food and service at First Watch in Pinecrest. The fam had been wanting to visit together for brunch and I can see why! The portions, flavors, and mix of healthy/fun options did not disappoint. I especially liked the Avo toast and the Market hash. The French toast and lemon ricotta pancake were delicious too. I'd skip the salmon Benedict though. Too much sauce and not enough flavor. We had a great time and will definitely be back next time we are in Miami.

    Enjoyed lunch at First Watch recently. The ambiance is nice, upscale modern diner vibe. I was surprised that the restaurant was filled to capacity on a Tuesday. The service was ok, our waiter seemed to have his mind elsewhere and a different order was delivered to me. It had similar components to what I had initially ordered, but something was off, I then realized it was that I was missing items that were supposed to be coming with my order. Waited a little for the mistake to be remedied. The food was good, but this visit there was nothing to write home about honestly. Other visits at different locations have been better.

    This was my first time having the Salmon Benedict and oh my gosh. Amazing! I got full easily so I'm happy to take the rest home. Service was great too! Thank you Elizabeth! Also the aesthetic is awesome.

    BLT Benedict with a side of greens

    I've heard of this place, but we've never been. We really enjoyed the food, the service, and the atmosphere. They were busy, but you never felt like a burden and the food came up quickly. I had the BLT Benedict with the side of greens and it was a great lighter breakfast. My daughter had the kids 2 egg breakfast and didn't leave anything behind. It comes with a side of fruit which is a really nice way to balance the food. My husband had one of the hashes and he liked it as well. Will definitely be back.

    Great food and great service. Good idea to check in prior to arrival, as it will decrease wait time to get a table. Good seasonal menu as well as regular menu.

    Pecan salad and Croque monsieur...

    The food felt super fresh, I loved the recommendation of the waitress Aileen! Very good attitude, the truth is that I would recommend it a lot. Thank you Aileen

    Kids menu

    Just what the Falls area needed. Great variety of food for brunch. Highly encourage you place yourself on the waitlist online. For Sunday we place ourselves an hour and a half before our intended time. The restaurant has a nice and casual vibe. There is a small outdoor area. It was kid friendly for our 6 & 7 year old. We did have to wait a while with the kids once seated for the food so I recommend you come with patience.

    Frittata, cheesy grits, side of sausage
    Michele C.

    The restaurant environment was comfortable and inviting. Bright and open areas. The service was wonderful. The coffee was great and hot. They left the hot pot in the middle of our table so we could serve ourselves as needed. There was just two of us, girls, laughing and sharing the plates that we ordered. The serving sizes we're nice and delicious. The million dollar bacon is a must. The cheesy grits are awesome. The Furtado was really amazing. The flavors were fabulantastic!! I've been to first watch in Orlando and this place certainly doesn't disappoint. I know from my experience is there everything on the menu is delicious and I can't wait to continue eating in this location.

    Farmhouse hash
    Angie L.

    Been here several times and never had an issue. This specific visit I had the farmhouse hash and as you can see the potatoes were burnt, not quite what I'm used too. The morning meditation was great. Service was okay.

    Baconator omelet that had avocado with potatoes, salsa and guava jam with a grain bread.
    Suzette C.

    The atmosphere is wonderful but really noisy. I had the Pineapple Express drink ( non alcoholic), and the baconator omelet, with avocado, potatoes side, salsa, strawberry jam and grain bread. Hubby had the morning meditation drink with the original eggs Benedict and side potatoes. There were some other interesting choices but I could only have one maybe another time. Be prepared to wait though.

    I had been wanting to try this cafe and realized I was nearby one day and would give it a try. I…read morehave mixed thoughts, so I'll start with the best thing. The food was actually amazing, especially for a casual cafe environment. I had the loaded avocado toast which came with two slices toast with creamy avocado spread across it, cherry tomatoes, a sprinkle of feta cheese, a balsamic vinegar sauce. For my daughter I ordered the waffles with berries. This was slightly smaller than I expected but delicious. So sugary and flavorful. And I had a honey cinnamon latte which I also felt was full of flavor and had lots of cinnamon (I've had this in other places where I felt the flavor and cinnamon were lacking). That being said, it took 24 minutes to get our food which I think is a bit excessive for this environment. There was only one girl working when we were there and lots of people. Also, the bill for all that (plus an apple juice) was $53 and change including tip! (I paid that same amount recently at a cute sit down restaurant where the meal was big enough to have plenty of leftovers). The ambiance had a clean, minimalist aesthetic with pretty decor pieces. It was very quiet too... about halfway through my visit, they turned on some music, but it was still a quiet, calm environment with the music. I prefer a busier, fun type of vibe, but for those who are looking for something very serene and calm this would be an ideal place to relax or get some work done as long as you're willing to wait for your food!

    This place was busy which just goes to show that it's good. The service that day was a little slow…read more(but again, it was busy). There was of plenty of seating inside either at a table, couch coffee table or even a barstool along the wall. The bacon, ham, egg, and cheese on a croissant was phenomenal and it came out almost straight away. The flan latte took a little longer, but I was ensured it was made with a lot of love...it was true. It was delicious.

    I love their menu here! There is an absolutely amazing variety of delicious sounding sandwiches,…read morewraps, salads, and breakfast options. Not to mention the amazing looking pastries and coffees when you first walk in. I ordered the steak sandwich and have no complaints. The vegetables were roasted perfectly, the bread had a great toasted crunch to it, and there was a good amount of steak in my sandwich. In addition, the sauce that they put on the bread was so good! The portion size was great and I find the price point here to be pretty fair (~$21 after tip). It was really busy when we came in but there was still some seating open for us and we were seated right away. The food came out quickly and the staff is very friendly. I love how the food both looks delicious and tastes amazing as well! You don't have to sacrifice on flavor or price to get the aesthetic Instagram picture! Interior is clean and very welcoming. A great place to come with a smaller group to catch up and get a reasonably priced lunch that doesn't cut corners on quality or taste.

    The food was good, it just took a while to come out. I guess since it was a Sunday morning, it was…read morea bit busy as well. We had some coffees and they were both great. I enjoyed the overnight oats which had pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes and some dried banana chips. It was very healthy and filling. My brother had the waffles which had berries and a vanilla bean creme! We obviously were too excited and didn't get a chance to take a pic prior to eating. Overall, we had a nice time here and will probably be back but on a different day where it's not too busy. Parking is available in the back or on the street parallel, you have to pay through the pay by phone app. I can't wait to come back and try the pancakes next time!
