    Omelette

    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.

    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.

    3.7 out of 5 is my review. I was shocked at how packed it was at 10:30am, and that didn't stop us from getting seated within 10 minutes. The ambiance was nice and the food was good, but I expected more based on the hype and the photos. The service was a solid 5. The hostess, from Venezuela (not that this matters but in case they want to know who it is to give credit to) was great! She gave a warm welcome and was professional, energetic and kind. Eric, walked us over to our table and Victor, was our server. The staff was attentive to our needs and made the experience one that will result in me returning. The bathrooms were clean so that's a bonus! The food was where I thought it could've been better. The biscuit and gravy was better than I anticipated but also smaller too. The eggs were supposed to be scrambled soft, but they came out hard. They replaced them quickly to another format and they were much better. The potatoes could've been cooked more. The waffle was meh. It was floppy and there was no crunch at all. It tasted good, but definitely needed to be closer to advertised and bigger for $12. The watermelon and lime juice is supposed to be fresh, but it came with a sugar rim and it had added sugar (which defeats what's advertised). There should be no sugar rim or at least that should've been mentioned. The pancake was good and so was the omelette for my guests. We would go back but hoping to seeing improvements made. Definitely a spot for everyone and the staff and their morale helps make it what it is. Check them out and enjoy!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    BLT Benedict with a side of greens
    Nicole Cordova M.

    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.

    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.

The crust was chewy with a delightful firmness that made it fun to eat, the sauce had a potent taste that indicated the use of sun dried tomatoes (yum).

Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a moderate dining experience that doesn't compromise on flavor or enjoyment.

I really enjoyed the gyozas, they were crunchy on the outside but so savory on the inside. The soup dumplings literally burst in your mouth. They were so yummy. The fried milk bun felt like I was eating a Thai donut, I expected something different but it was good. As an entree I enjoyed the Tonkatsu hot pot, presentation was 10/10. The broth tastes so good, I couldn't get enough, they use rice noodles for this dish specifically which I love. Everyone was great service wise, very kind and accommodating. The only thing I will say is that 2 dishes took longer than expected to arrive so some of the people in our party had to wait a bit longer to eat their food. Other than that, we enjoyed the food very much. The boba tea was also so good! They have a good variety of flavors to choose from, my cousins got a rainbow one and it looked so appealing to the eye. I had the green tea lemonade and added boba, it was very refreshing.

I also ordered an orange juice. Everything was good. The eggs were cooked well, the grits were creamy, and the orange juice was fresh and refreshing. My only small complaint is that I could have used another piece of smoked ham or a slightly larger portion. My friend ordered the Tri Fecta with an extra egg and bacon, along with the Morning Meditation juice, which combines orange, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger, agave nectar, and beet. He enjoyed everything and had no complaints. Overall, that pretty much sums up the meal. Nothing was bad and everything was prepared well. At the same time, neither of us walked away completely blown away. It was simply a solid breakfast experience with good food, excellent service, and reasonable prices. I would absolutely come back to this location and to First Watch in general. It is a dependable brunch spot that consistently delivers a good experience.
