Had such a great experience at First Watch! The food was fresh and delicious, but the real highlight was my gurl Cece — she was the absolute best! Her customer service, energy, and attention to detail made our visit even better. She was friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcomed. Definitely coming back and hoping to see her again!

Daniel was a fantastic server - balancing the demands of a busy kitchen and restaurant on Father's Day! Especially busy but the food order he delivered from memory for our party was 100% on point :). The perfect "Trifecta"! Thank you 😊

It made us smile too. One of the waitresses always recognizes us and gives us a warm welcome. Every staff member we have interacted with …
Had an amazing experience at First Watch today! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly, but what really made our visit exceptional was our server, Deshon.

Samantha was awesome! Super attentive and made sure we got our entire order. The food was amazing as always! They throw down in the kitchen! Blueberry Lemon Cornbread was a nice surprise!
This was our first time visiting, even though we live just a five minute walk away. The food was great (Trifecta) and our server Christopher was very attentive. The restaurant was busy but we were able to be seated within minutes of walking in. They even brought my son out a treat for his birthday. I now understand why the …
