First Watch

Loved the food. Great chefs. Great seasoning, should implement rules to where people with under 600 credit scores are banned from coming. Sometimes the customers who come here truly don't appreciate the food and natural flavors. ANYWAYS THIS PLACE IS GREAT WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOOOOOO

Very much forgot to take pictures, but I'll put this very positive review up first, and will try to take pics the next time we visit.We've tried to eat here a couple times at noon (I work nearby) but it has been crazy busy with a wait each time we tied. Today there was no wait due to some bad weather and people working from home I imagine.The place is bigger than I thought. There is a small bar section in the back, with garage doors that I imagine open up when the weather is nice. Our waiter was very helpful.Four of us ordered different dishes, from two kinds of omelet, a skillet, and an 2-egg platter. All of us were happy with the food, and prices weren't crazy high as we thought. Coffee was $3.99, but was fresh.We'll return. If only they weren't so busy!

I was excited to try this place since it opened. When I arrived there was a 45 minute wait, unless you sat at the bar, so we did. Unfortunately they do not serve mimosas and bloody Mary's, which is a big reason people enjoy brunch. Regardless, it was still nice. They have pressed juices and teas and fancy iced coffees. Everything looks lovely, the food looked amazing as well. The waiter we had was so friendly and attentive for how busy it really way. I had the frittata with cheesy grits which was good!When you are done you either pay by a QR code on your phone or at the front. Which is different. But I did not feel the best after eating here so I don't know if I will be trying this place again.

Today was my first experience at First Watch and while it wasn't horrible, it wasn't great either. The pros: you can add yourself to the waitlist ahead of time online. The biscuit was nice and flaky, and the turkey sausage gravy was well seasoned with a good consistency. The eggs were cooked to my liking. You can pay at your table by scanning a QR code on the receipt. The cons: our waitress wasn't very attentive. She walked by our table several times when my glass was empty and didn't offer a refill. She also got our orders wrong after we repeated them to her multiple times. She was getting confused so I'm not sure why she didn't write the orders down. The potatoes, while well seasoned, were way too big and undercooked.Overall I'd probably give them another shot, but this was just a mediocre first experience.

Nov. 2024Customer service - 5 out of 5Wait time - 5 out of 5Cleanliness - 5 out of 5Atmosphere - 5 out of 5Food quality - 4 out of 5My first visit to First Watch was exceptional. The food was delicious, but the interior design and layout impressed me even more. We arrived for breakfast, and the restaurant was well-lit with natural light, enhancing the modern decor. Everything was spotless, which is always a plus.The staff were friendly, professional, and attentive. Our waitress, Madison, took extra care to ensure my son's meal was safe from his peanut and tree nut allergies. Kudos to her for excellent communication with the chefs. I also appreciated the 'Food Allergens' QR code on the menu for self-research--other establishments should take note.The food arrived promptly. I ordered The Works Omelette, which was flavorful and well-portioned. Next time, I'll request the sour cream on the side, as I found it unnecessary. The dish comes with Lemon-Dressed Organic Greens, which I substituted with Fresh, Seasoned Potatoes.Overall, I rate this restaurant 24 out of 25 stars--highly recommended. We will definitely visit again soon.

Thought it might be a bit more 'trendy' for me,as I am a very traditional breakfast person. However the breakfast I got was fantastic, quite a bit of food and was very tasty. By the way treat yourselves to the Holey Donuts!

Pancakes were good. Omelettes are good as well. Light food. Used the app to get in line. First time at first watch Bel Air. Wasn't disappointed. Service not bad as you wait for food to be cooked.

Since it was a Thursday morning, I thought it would be the perfect time for a work meetup at the newly opened First Watch. Boy, was I wrong! The place was packed--apparently, I wasn't the only one with that idea, given the limited dining options in Bel Air.I put my name on the list and waited. The process was a bit chaotic, with people paying their tabs and others trying to get on the list, creating some confusion. While waiting, I noticed how the layout of the previous Red Lobster was changed to make the space appear more spacious! Despite the disorganization and the wait, the experience turned out to be worth it. The food was delicious!We started with the Kale Tonic and Morning Meditation juices, both of which were tasty. For our main dishes, we had the Tri-Fecta, Classic Benedict, and Pesto Chicken Quinoa Bowl. Our waitresses were sweethearts, and the food came out quickly.I especially appreciated the QR code on the receipt that made it easy to split the bill. Just remember to bring your appetite--and a bit of patience.

The BEST breakfast food I've ever had! I never knew a simple egg sandwich could be so savory and delicious. Additionally I received great service from my waitress Angelica.

Love the waffles and bacon. Service was great. Can take a while to get in on the weekends. Very popular.
