“ Great brunch place. Wait time was minimal but the wait time for what we ordered was a bit longer than it should have been I think. Waffle was missing the berry compote as they ran out. Donut holes were very good! Coffee better than most brunch places in my opinion and a like that they leave the carafe behind. ”
“ Lovely restaurant and staff. The presentation is beautiful. The food was super yummy. Highly recommend! ”
“ I have been wanting to try this place for a while. I got my chance on Mothers Day. Food and service were amazing, even with the crowd. I had the avocado toast, and it was delicious. Tasted the shrimp and grits were also just as good. Expect a wait on the weekend. But check this place out. ”
“ Our first time here and it was a fabulous experience. The entire staff was friendly and took great care of us. Diamond was our waitress and never let our glasses get empty and got our customizations perfectly correct. The food portions were huge and tasty. My only suggestion would be to get your liquor license as we would have liked to have had a Bloody Mary and Mimosa with brunch. ”
“ One of our favorite breakfastbrunch places. The staff is friendly. Depending on the time you come there may be a wait to sit but in my opinion its worth it. The parking lot is a bit small but there are places nearby that can be parked at. ”

“ This was my second time at First Watch, and it was just as enjoyable as my first visit! Our server Brianna was so sweet and attentive and on top of drink refills and clearing the table. The food was excellent, and we highly recommend all the items pictured. I also recommend the Mint Mocha drink! ”
