| - Fantastic whole food. Tasty and creative combos. Best eggs! So fresh and yummy. I've had them scrambled, and then today I had the squash frittata from the seasonal fall menu. It was very good. The bread is scrumptious, and the greens are tender, fresh, and not bitter. I like that the plate is not filled with potato. First Watch seems to concentrate of a more balanced plate. Although there is more a look of sparsity, there is actually plenty of good, filling food that doesn't leave you with a lead stomach.
I tried one of their juice blends that had carrot, orange, lemon, and ginger. Perfect balance. Not too much ginger. So refreshing!
It gets a little crowded, but not too long of a wait for a table. Waitress was very slow, so others had to help her out. We still waited a bit too long for our food, and did received an apology for that. Bathrooms are clean.
Atmosphere is open, clean, and comfortable. Reminds me a little of the Good Earth that I grew up with in California. If the First Watch offered homemade blueberry coffee cake, and some kind of outrageously powerful house blended cinnamon tea - their business would triple overnight. Especially since so many people are moving here from being forced out of Seattle and the Bay Area. The timing might be right.
Cons:
My boyfriend and I enjoy going out to eat about 3 times a week. He had the turkey monterey club with avocado and bacon. He said it was "good enough". But he thought the turkey was of cheap quality. Bacon didn't have the best flavor.
I personally like that the water doesn't have ice in it. But, it desperately needs to be filtered. I call it "fish tank water" when the water tastes that bad at restaurants. This is a big negative for both of us.
