| - Strap in for a full-immersion homestyle breakfast/brunch experience. You'll be planning your next visit before paying your bill.
There are few breakfast eateries that compare to First Watch. We have been here several times and I'm ashamed it's taken me so long to sing its praises.
Here goes.
This past Sunday, I met Ellen and Linda. Ellen was our server. She was prompt and friendly with an awesome dash of sass for fun. We had a great time with her.
This go 'round I ordered one blueberry pancake, two pieces of bacon, and a ham steak. Darcie ordered the Traditional Breakfast with eggs over easy. The pancake was golden brown deliciousness. Frankly, that pancake has been on mind since (and it's Tuesday folks). It was perfection to start, but First Watch gives you a tasty blueberry syrup chock full of blueberries... so good. The bacon is always spot on. I truly enjoyed my ham steak (I add Tobasco for a little zing). Darcie's Tradional Breakfast allowed me to steal some excellent fresh seasoned potatoes. Got the evil eye a few times... worth it. She loved the eggs with the whole grain artisan toast and all-natural preserves. She also got a crazy good pear cider with her meal.
We loved it. All of it. And we really appreciated Ellen as our First Watch ambassador of tastiness.
While paying my bill I asked for a bag of their granola To-Go as well as a brief word with the manager. That's when I met Linda. I let her know that we've be in several times and each visit has been a generous 360° helping of exceeded-expectations. Ellen was outstanding, the food was stellar, the atmosphere was great ('80's and '90's music). FW just knocked it outa the park... we were leaving Big-Sigh-&-Smile type satisfied.
The restaurant was quite busy, but Linda made our very brief conversation feel relaxed and friendly. She's a winner too.
Restaurants rarely get positive feedback. While Yelp does provide a means to let services know a user's experience, there's just nothing like telling a restaurant manager that you had a great time and why. It's a real boost to everyone there, the manager, the server(s), and the kitchen staff. Please follow suit. It'll make ya feel good too.
Thank you Ellen, Linda, and everyone else at First Watch... owners included. We'll be back.
