    Omelette and potatoes
    Kristi B.

    We stopped in for breakfast on Wednesday morning after a medical appointment. We were seated right away and our server greeted us right away. Server was incredibly friendly answered all questions and really was just a joy. I got one of the holiday specials, the Carne Asada tacos and while it comes with black beans, I opted to switch that out for the million dollar potatoes. Tacos were excellent eggs were scrambled hard. The meat was a little hard but not too bad. Really good flavor. Potatoes were excellent as well. My husband got a omelette and regular home fries as well as a side order of French toast. He said the French toast was really good because it was done on a thicker bread and he really appreciated that it had crispy edges, but was softer in the middle.

    Stopped in around 1pm and was blown away by how fast everything moved. As soon as we ordered, the food came out almost instantly literally right after the water was poured into our glasses. The service was incredible: quick, attentive, and genuinely friendly. If you're looking for great food with exceptional customer service and amazing speed, this spot is definitely worth visiting!

    Customized Maple Bacon Croissant Sandwich (with sausage, egg & cheese) with a tomato soup side

    Needed a break from moving and fast food and this is where we ended up. We were there on a Tuesday around 1:30 and it was quite busy. We walked in and were going to be seated right away but then someone jumped us in line. She had a baby so we didn't say anything but it was quite aloud and aggressive and the interaction kind of rubbed both of us the rong way. The staff looked like they wanted us to settle it and when we just stood there a little shocked they moved to seat them. Then once they returned from seating them, didn't say say anything to us when they returned, just kept their eyes down and didn't really look at us while we were seated. It was a weird energy right off the bat. We were also seated at a side table that had a beam sort of blocking half the table but I am deaf in one ear so it was the only not configuration that worked so that my husband was sitting on the side of my good ear. Food was all good and correct. They allowed me to customize a croissant sandwich which I appreciated. Ordered a side of tomato soup. It was thinner and more garden-y than a lot of tomato soups. Quite good just different. I didn't order one but I saw a pancake and they are reminiscent of Virginia pancakes. Large and hearty. I would order that if we return. My only other takeaway was that staff was really friendly and nice but very slow. A weekday lunch took two and half hours and they were not full.

    First time in at this location. It was extremely busy when we came in. Wasn't thinking until later that duh, it's Father's Day weekend! The wait was about 25 minutes which wasnt too bad. Not enough waiting area room, seats or otherwise when they are really busy. I never noticed the artwork on the walls at other locations that highlight the city but clearly saw the Winter Garden mural today. I'll have to pay closer attention next time I'm at another First Watch. Our waitress was Elizabeth. She was super friendly, prompt and efficient. My son ordered the traditional breakfast and subbed out the ciabatta bread for an English muffin. He said the potatoes were so good that he didn't put his customary ketchup on them which surprised me. His eggs were ordered over hard and they were, although the yolk was broken. He liked them that way though. I ordered the smoked salmon and roasted vegetable frittata. It was really tasty with the creamy chive sauce on top. I ordered a little extra on the side as I love my sauces. I kept the standard side of organic mixed greens which were fresh and flavorful with the lemon vinaigrette. Fair warning, it is a bit fishy because it is salmon so if you don't like a fishy taste, I would avoid it. I loved it though. I subbed out the ciabatta bread for gluten free toast. It didn't have any butter but our waitress, Elizabeth, promptly brought it out when I asked for it. I wanted a cup of coffee and didn't know until the end that it is $9.99 for coffee whether you have 1 cup or more. They will bring a full pitcher of coffee for the table if anyone orders coffee apparently. Thank you First Watch for my BOGO birthday meal.

    Good food. Great service. And a nice outdoor patio to enjoy lunch on a beautiful Florida winter afternoon. The choices are great, depending on what you are looking for. And for my kids, waffles are always a hit.

    It was my first time to first watch and it won't be my last! I really enjoyed their summer specials! It makes me happy that they had special drinks there weren't alcoholic. I got the purple haze, which was like a butterfly pea tea lemonade with lavender. All the food my friends enjoyed was delightful and made for a filling and satisfying breakfast :)

    Absolutely great service amazing and great food. I love coming to First Watch for breakfast))))

    First Watch is my go to breakfast/brunch spot! The food is so fresh, flavorful, and tasty. There are so many options you can eat light, healthy, traditional, or hearty. I love the fresh drinks/beverage options. My favorite go to items include the farm stand breakfast tacos, frittata rustica, and elevated egg sandwich. And oh yeah, the purple haze is my absolute favorite drink! I could drink it anytime, breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. It's so flavorful and so tasty, I order it every single time I go to First Watch. If you have never tasted the purple haze you are definitely missing out. One thing that I appreciate about dining at First Watch is that I can enjoy a great meal without feeling guilty that I just devoured a ton of calories. Whatever you are craving, they got you covered. The restaurant is always inviting with a variety of sitting options the include indoors, outdoors, and bar seating. I love the open feel of the restaurant. The staff are friendly and accommodating.

    First watch at Winter Garden Village is always great! Jen is our favorite!! Always greets us with a smile and we go so often, she remembers our orders lol parking is insane :( sometimes very hard to find, so consider that before arriving. Especially later in the morning and on the weekends.

    Caramel crunch coffee

    We went by for brunch around noon on Sunday, and we had a great time! We have been to multiple First Watch locations in Central Florida, and I feel like this one was the most busy, but the service was on point and very quick. I also liked the seating inside. My wife had a skillet, and I decided to try the pumpkin pancake, with eggs and chicken sausage. All of the food items were great, especially the pumpkin pancake! I also tried a sip of the caramel crunch coffee and liked it as well. Just a tad too sweet for me, but the presentation was awesome. Can't wait to come back to First Watch!

    Sausage biscuits and grave with eggs

    The regular breakfast items like pancakes, eggs, and bacon are solid. They taste great and are definitely the highlight for me. That said, a lot of the other dishes I've tried have been way too salty. The potatoes especially stand out for being over-seasoned. It's a bit of a letdown when the flavors get buried under too much salt. No longer a place for me to dine at. I won't be missed cause America love their SALT.

    Every time I go to first watch is truly a pleasure... the staff is super nice, the food is fresh and tasty, yes they are busy, but they make the time there so memorable! I enjoy the atmosphere since it reminds me of a Sunday morning brunch with my family! I like that their menu is very diverse and they offer food in the lighter end (light in calories) as well as in the little heavier end. Literally they have ANYTHING you might be thinking about. Perfect for breakfast, brunch with friends, or just a nice lunch with mom! The only thing is to go early... it gets pretty busy, but since they have indoor and outdoor seating, there might be more flexible availability. Recommend! Try their seasonal dishes and beverages!

    Chicken Bake
    Alex G.

    This is the first time I'm seeing "Chicken Bake", I can safely say it will definitely not be my last. As opposed to "Baked Chicken." It was m wonderfully light & fluffy, while still having an amazing flavor profile. I LOVE that there's a place that sells a plethora of different kinds of DELICIOUS, "Grab & Go" foods. I officially know what I'm GOING to get it again & again.

    I have a friend who's gluten free; are they flexible with that?

    No, Crooked can sells Beer. It's a brewery with on tap beer. They are attached to the Market Place that have other venders that may have gluten free options.

    Food 4/5 Service 5/5…read moreAmbiance 5/5 We tried Le Cafe de Paris on 4th of July and there was a decent amount seating inside and out. You order at the counter, grab a table, and they'll bring the food out to you. We got the Croque Madame with the soup du jour (broccoli cheddar) and a potato bacon quiche. The Croque Madame was tasty/crispy and the soup was flavorful but the quiche was quite bland. I added salt, pepper, and ketchup to give it more flavor. Staff was friendly and our food came out pretty quickly. We enjoyed the ambiance and the decor did transport us to France. This is a local spot worth trying because they have unique options than your typical Denny's/Ihop type breakfast.

I found this place on Yelp looking for some French food since I was too full on this trip to go to the French pavilion in Epcot and I was craving French brunch. This place was great. I got the lunch combination with a choice of soup or salad (I opted for soup du jour, which was a tomato soup) and the Croque madame. I paired my meal with the seasonal selection of matcha, the blueberry Matcha. Service was pretty quick and the food and drink were amazing. Croque Madame was cheesy and delicious with a yummy runny egg. The matcha was sweet and had the blueberry flavor from the whipped cream. The tomato soup was savory, creamy, and with tomato flavor and came with two slices of baguettes, which were great to dip up the soup. If I'm ever back in Orlando I would 100% make a stop by here again.

It was bagged nicely and well organized. The omelette was a generous sized portion with plenty of tender chicken, peppers, and cheese. There was salsa to add a bit of flavor, but it tasted that it was made in New York City (if you remember that commercial ;) ). The white toast was soft and buttery, and the potatoes were good. My mom enjoyed the banana pecan waffles, and I took a couple bites as well. It was sinfully sweet and enjoyable, especially the bananas. And I must say the coffee was so good, it was even better than the Juan Valdez coffee that I make at home. Since I didn't visit the restaurant, I can't comment on the atmosphere. But I believe the service is excellent because they nicely packed all items and kept it organized. I definitely need to take my family to this restaurant. Since the one in Metrowest closed, this is the closest one to us. I am glad the food is still excellent and the coffee keeps you peppy.

We got the hashed benny, and the founder's hash and eggs with a pancake on the side. The benny was cooked to perfection, I was just surprised that the fries turned out to be potatoes. The pancake was fluffy and tasty, and the founder's hash was well seasoned. However, the service was rather disappointing. Our waitress wasn't the friendliest person from the get go, her demeanor seemed like we were inconveniencing her with our presence. We asked for to go boxes and that took 5+ minutes to get. We then waited 10+ minutes for her to come back and process our check. We see her socializing/getting handsy with coworkers in the back. When we finally made contact with her, I hear her mumble something under her breath as she was walking over.. The ambiance is great - it's open, bright and clean. We'd like to think that was a one off customer experience because we'd like to go back to try other items. We may just give it a little bit before returning.
