Finding FIRST WATCH on yelp turned out to be a very good experience. As I drove up, I saw the crowd standing outside and I concluded that this was the place to eat. The parking lot was packed although we did find a parking spot. Walking in, I saw people dressed in casual attire, some dressed up, and some in athletic apparel. The ambiance was exciting and fresh as there were all sorts of things going on at once.
Me and my +1 stepped inside and one gentleman was awaiting to give his name. We were second and a gentleman came in behind us. I had a prime example of the phrase, the first shall be last and the last shall be first. I did not say anything about what had just occurred and then the hostess asked how many people and gave us a choice to sit at the front table immediately or we can wait 30 minutes. We sat at a long table that reminded me of the LAST SUPPER! Our waitress (Kimberly) came over and she was like a shaken bottle of Champagne. She was bubbly and full of energy. She made the visit that much more enjoyable.
I ordered the shrimp and grits which consisted of sauteed Cajun shrimp without the tip on the end like most restaurants serve, andouille sausage, cooked low country still with chicken broth, roasted tomatoes and onions, diced green bell peppers and scallions atop of cheddar-parmesan cheese grits served with artisan ciabatta toast. The meal was very tasty, with a strong, tomatoey savoriness. My plus one ordered waffle and cheese grits. She really enjoyed the waffle as it was fluffy and light. I ordered biscuit with turkey sausage with egg to go for my grandson. I sampled it and the biscuit was so soft, (like butter). and the turkey sausage was really delicious with chunks of turkey sausage. The egg was fried to perfection. I would love to come back if I am in the area. read more
