    Morning meditation juice and Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl
    Shelly S.

    I am obsessed with the power breakfast quinoa bowl and their morning meditation juice. The quinoa bowl is packed with delicious protein and flavor. I love the mushrooms and tomatoes they add and the Italian sausage they use is sooo good. The juice is a perfect punch of orange, beet and ginger that will rev up your day. I wish I had a First Watch closer to home on the Central Coast of California!

    Good 5/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 5/5 I need to keep this place on my go to list for breakfast--I forgot about it. They have a nice variety of breakfast for all tastebuds. I really enjoyed my club with side salad and I added a cup of tomato basil soup--very flavorful!

    Eggs Benedict
    Galya T.

    First thing getting off the plane, we grab breakfast! We ordered eggs Benedict and lemon ricotta pancakes. The food was good but not the best. The potatoes were wayyyyy too salty. I personally gilt my rings get tighter as my fingers started exploding. The pancakes were regular but what made them lemon ricotta was the lemon topping cream. I didn't really care for it too much. I have had better pancakes in the past. But it wasn't bad. It's all about your personal preference. For one thing the service was amazing!

    Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee
    Christina L.

    Food: Elevated Egg Sandwich- good sandwich, perfectly runny egg. Came with some crispy potatoes- they would've been a home run with just a smidge less salt. Honey Caramel Crunch Iced Coffee- yummy but you cannot taste any coffee... might be a problem to some but worked out nicely for this coffee noob Ambiance: Loved it. Seating is spaced so you don't feel crowded and the restaurant is beautiful. Seats are comfy and the place is clean, not much more you can ask for! Service: You take your ticket up front to pay and it turns out the server gave us the wrong ones. Instead of the cashier suggesting they get the right ticket (mine was actually the right one btw, they gave a duplicate of my ticket to someone else who already paid) or make an adjustment on the spot, it was presented as if it were my problem. I was flabbergasted and there was a line behind me, so I paid for the other more expensive ticket left open. It's a great brunch spot, but as someone who paid dang near $40 for a sandwich and iced coffee, I'm 100% not going back lol.

    Breakfast tacos
    Heather R.

    Fantastic food. Always great and quick service. We started our meal with the famous honey peppered bacon. So delicious but 4 thin pieces of bacon for $6 is pretty darn high and I wouldn't do it again but if you're a bacon lover (which I am not but my husband is) it's a must try. I had the breakfast tacos which were pretty good but dry. The chicken on them was less desirable but the chorizo was great and the black beans it's served with were a nice addition. My husband had the breakfast burrito and he was it was "a masterpiece" on a plate as well as in his mouth. Ha! Coffee is great and hot and the service was perfect.

    So cute and delicious early morning before I go to church

    Very cool hipster neighborhood right across the street from our Airbnb. Food so healthy so good ! The service was amazing. I am definitely going back to this restaurant on my next trip to Nashville !

    We really enjoyed our visit here. It was within walking distance from our AIRBNB which made it very convenient for breakfast before we set out for a day in Nashville. The place is well lit with natural light, plenty of seating, clean bathrooms, lots of parking and friendly service. The sweet tea is delicious and the Million Dollar Bacon is to die for (wasn't very crispy though). Service was quick and portions are decent for the cost.

    Hard dark and veined Avocado.  Yummy!

    First Watch Green Hills, Nashville TN. This place doesn't care about their customers or the food they serve. This is my second time with bad food and customer service. The server's argue over taking a table after we had been sitting there for over 10 minutes with only 5 other tables, isn't that how you get tips and paid? Avocado that is black hidden in an omelet, wonder what the health department would think? Manager doesn't care, they give you bad gift cards too, for their lousy service. I hope they get shut down and a restaurant that has workers that at least try to have some customer service. Also ran 3 charges on my card. Check you accounts after being here. ​

    Breakfast tacos
    Natalie L.

    Came here for brunch on a Saturday morning and was pleasantly surprised that there was no wait for a table. The servers were very friendly, we were seated right away, and they immediately took our drink orders. We got the breakfast tacos and the Sunny Seoul hash, which was part of their seasonal menu. The breakfast tacos were delicious but the hash was definitely a winner for me, I loved the bits of kimchi which gave the dish a nice kick. Definitely recommend

    Traditional

    Excellent food and great service. Nice outdoor area as well. The traditional breakfast with bacon-strawberry jam is homemade and delicious. Avo toast is filling and has 2 eggs- I added chicken apple sausage! The chicken changa has the same sauce as on the Benedict it's lemony and pairs well with the chicken!! The breakfast potatoes are seasoned and crispy. Like they are fried on a griddle.. delish !

    Way to elevate the neighborhood! This is the newest Nashville location of the ever-popular First Watch. It's popular for good reason: All American breakfast, brunch, and lunch fare. Well priced. Happy setting. This is a brand new Melrose area build with a big bonus: a large, perfectly paved parking lot in the rear! Yay! The space is modern, cheery and lofty. Hubby and I were among the first to dine here, and it will be a regular haunt for us. The staff was very friendly. The service was prompt. The food, most importantly, delicious. The muffin of the day was blueberry. So, yes, we had that. No hesitation to say it's one of the best I've ever had! We went South Of The Border for our meal. Mexican street corn hash. Barbacoa Tacos. Muy bien! We had never tried their specialty juices. What a treat! I had the Morning Meditation. Hubby had the watermelon. I would go back just to have those. They also have a bar area with a roll up window, seats facing the street. We sat in the regular section of the restaurant, but took a mental note of that area. Looks like they have some inviting champagne and vodka cocktails. Could be fun to sit there next time!

    This was my first First Watch experience. I went here on opening day and loved my experience. They gave me a free tumbler and coffee that day. I loved the breakfast menu. It was very tasty and the portions were huge. I had enough leftover to take home and eat for lunch later on. The service was very fast and the food was delicious. Definitely plan on making many more First Watch breakfast stops in the morning.

    Many restaurants have hooks under their counter seating space for hand bags. This would be an easy yet nice convenience.

    Food is always on point! First Watch restaurants can get crowded, but most of the time they are worth the wait. Call ahead to get on the "waitlist". Most First Watch restaurants are very consistent and at always a great value. I have been to many in Tennessee, Florida and Georgia. If I'm in a city where there is a First Watch, that is always my Breakfast/Brunch choice! Trust me on this one! Enjoy fresh food everything at First Watch.

Cafe intermezzo falls into our lap. Unbelievable find. An oasis in the desert. Door opens a happy lady comes out with her friends and sees us looking at menu, she says "Go here. You will love it". She described a few dishes. Loved the French toast and Turkish coffee. Not sure but loving her passionate suggestion we went in. It was like walking into a cafe in Zurich Paris or Rome. Server was professional neat and polite. Menu was extensive. The classy wood paneling and nice tables were memorable. I ordered a crepe Florentine. It was savory type. It was amazing. My daughter ordered a more traditional sandwich and salad. She loved it too. There was breakfast lunch and dinner selections. Great desserts on display and being served table-side. Go to Nashville - want to change up cuisine, feel clean and relaxed. Go here. You will love it. We did.

They also offer a huge variety of cakes and cheeses that seem homemade; they aren't too sweet and are absolutely delicious. ​One thing I have to complain was the coffees we ordered were just warm rather than hot. A wonderful spot with beautiful music and comfortable relaxing atmosphere to chill.
