    Great food, and service that you come to expect @ FW, the chickichonga, and millionaire bacon was great, and #1 son said they killed it with the avocado toast he ordered....

    This place is a quick drive from work, so I come to this modern farmhouse style brunch spot regularly for lunch with friends. The service is very friendly and, if you tell them you need to be quick, they do a great job of keeping things moving for you to stay on schedule. The seasonal menu always offers something interesting, but the regular menu is full of good standbys, like French toast and omelettes. I do strongly recommend taking a look at the seasonal menu, as it's usually where I find my favorite dishes.

    Belgian waffle, eggs and chicken sausage

    I had a lovely brunch here with friends(inclusive of children) last Sunday. All staff were accommodating and the place had a diner feel albeit a little more upscale. The menu was creative takes on breakfast favorites. I had the Belgian waffle, eggs and chicken sausage. I felt the chicken sausage needed more fennel bc it lacked a bit of flavor but the waffle and eggs were perfect. I particularly liked the blueberry compote. My friends ordered eggs Benedict which seems to be a local favorite, it's served on ciabatta bread and an omelette with breakfast potatoes. Overall a very affordable breakfast option with quick friendly service. I'd come back again when in the area.

    I really enjoy coming to First Watch for brunch. Depending on the day that you go, the wait can be very long but you can join a waitlist online. Service is usually quick as they're used to the hustle bustle of the breakfast/lunch rush. Juices are amazing and food is great! A lot of options to choose from, can't go wrong.

    This place consistently delivers when it comes to breakfast. For me, ordering shrimp and grits anywhere outside of the deep south is a gamble. Usually, it's just not seasoned right, not enough butter, just kinda bland. But I risked it and glad I did. The shrimp and grits were fantastic. Don't think it's a staple menu item, but it really should be. Wife loved her breakfast too and the doughnut holes are a delicious app. Server was on point until she disappeared at the end when we were ready for the check but not a huge deal. Overall solid experience and good food.

    Citrus Hibiscus Punch

    I enjoyed a late breakfast on a quiet Saturday morning at First Watch. We got on the wait list before arriving. Upon arrival, we waited about 5 minutes before being seated. The restaurant was bustling with patrons, all ready for a delicious start to their day. My meal included the Citrus Hibiscus Punch that was refreshing (I wanted a larger glass) and the Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl. The Bowl was delicious and right up my alley. However, I expected a larger portion; my bowl looks a bit empty (see photo). IDK, maybe I was looking to be greedy that morning. In any case, I enjoyed the available selections and the ones that made it to my stomach!

    The blueberry muffin top griddle cakes summer special

    My girl friends and I decided to try brunch during peak Sunday brunch hours. I got on the waitlist about 20 minutes before we were planning to arrive because there was a 30-40 minute wait. When we arrived we were told it would be another 20 minutes, which made sense. It ended up being a bit longer, but once we were seated and ordered our delicious drinks, the wait no longer mattered. I got the Purple Haze and it was amazing. We decided to try a few of the specials and ordered the blueberry muffin top griddle cakes for the table. I got another special, the Barbacoa Quesadilla Benedict. Both the Benedict and the griddle cakes were perfect. The home fries were a little undercooked, but otherwise everything was great. I plan to come back and bring the family next!

    Great breakfast but the bacon almost gave me instant high blood pressure. Way too much salt in the bacon.

    Do they take reservations?

    You download their mobile app. It has a check in feature that works quite well. I use it all the time.

    There for a private party so I can only comment on what catering provided which was chicken parm,…read moreziti, bow tie pasta, mashed potatoes, green beans, and cake. My chicken parm was dry and tough but others enjoyed theirs. I found the mashed potatoes dry and stiff. The bow tie pasta had little flavor but the ziti was pretty good. The place looks nice and a cool vibe outside deck. Staff was pleasant and accommodating. The parking lot is massive. All in all not bad.

    I will start this review by saying that the service and the staff were wonderful. That being said,…read moreI am so extremely disappointed in how Villari's handled what was a simple error on their end but chose to take zero accountability. On July 25th, my family was supposed to be celebrating my grandmother's 100th birthday. We had a head count of 51 people and a set menu. Very sadly my grandmother passed just two weeks prior but rather than cancel, we agreed to continue with the party to celebrate her amazing life. Everything went accordingly, the service was great, the food was okay but we were all just glad to be there together as this was extremely hard for our family. Obviously, the change in plans was discussed beforehand with the staff and the main coordinator Michelle. When our time was up, the bill was paid by my aunt and the receipt was given to my mother. When things settled down, my mother looked at the receipt only to find that we had been over charged. They charged us for 60 plates instead of the agreed upon headcount of 52 adult dinners at 31.95 per head plus 4 children's plates at 21.95 per head. We had a guest leave early so technically they only put out 51 plates. Again, this event was invitation ONLY so we had an EXACT head count. When the issue with the bill was brought up to Michelle there absolutely no apology and she said "Well, we have to go by the tickets from the kitchen!" Which is impossible since we only had 52 (minus 1) adult plates and 4 children's plates. Now, according to...MATH...that's 55 total. So why were we charged for 60 plates? In addition, the tables were already set for that exact amount of people. There was no attempt to make it right. No offer for even a gift card in the amount that we were overcharged. Nothing. Just a cold and heartless response to a woman who had just lost her mother. Michelle knew that this was supposed to be a 100th birthday celebration that had sadly turned into a celebration of life but she chose to respond with zero empathy as did the manager. In the end, there are bigger things to worry about and that will be the last time we patronize this establishment. If you are looking to host an event at Villari's Lakeside, make sure you triple check your bill but it would be best to avoid it all together. Kindness costs nothing and unfortunately that was not our experience. The only reason I am leaving 2 stars is for the servers who deserve more but they can take that up with Michelle.
