The interior of First Watch was the first thing that caught my attention. All the tables and decor were very modern, and the ambiance was bright and nice as well.
We were seated quickly, and our waitress was polite and patient. I went with three of my friends, and we got two Strawberry Smashes, one Kale Tonic, and a small grapefruit. The Strawberry Smash was refreshing and similar to lemonade, while the apple in the Kale Tonic was prominent and almost similar to banana. My friend who ordered the grapefruit noted it tasted like orange juice.
Furthermore, I loved how the water was self served through a large chilled mason jar. We waited ten to fifteen minutes before our food came, and the presentation of the AM Superfoods Bowl did not disappoint. The coconut milk chia seed pudding was thick, creamy, and very fulfilling. I did not end up finishing the chia seed pudding, and while the whole wheat toast was thick cut and delicious with the almond butter spread, I could not finish it either.
My friend let my try her lemon ricotta pancakes, and they were presented beautifully as well and tasted warm and fluffy. Although I have to admit, the pancakes were a little bland, and I personally thought maple syrup was needed.
Another of my friends ordered a side of potatoes. They weren't too bad and were fairly decent.
Overall, from the decor to the service to the food, my first experience at First Watch was pleasant, and while not perfect, enjoyable.
