Love first watch!! Always clean, food comes out fast and fresh. Love love love the kale Fuji fresh squeezed juice. Avocado toast is delicious eggs cooked to perfection.

Blueberry Lemon Cornbread

We came to first watch to grab some breakfast. We were quickly greeted and seated by the hostess, and quick after the waiter came to our table. She was a great resource for learning recommendations and offering insight as to what we definitely needed to try. The place is your typical chain, breakfast cafe, but the staff is what always makes me go back. The food is very good, the biscuits and gravy are one of my favorites along with the million dollar bacon. I will definitely bring people here when asked for breakfast spots

A delightful Brunch stop here today. Sat at the bar and had great friendly service. I ordered the Red grits with poached eggs, bacon and multigrain toast. The grits were very good and the eggs poached to my liking. My Million dollar Bloody Mary was delicious!

Avocado toast

I ordered Avocado toast with over easy eggs. I did not get that. The eggs were hard and the side of $5 potatoes were so salty they went in the trash. This is my second attempt at this location. Disappointed as usual...

I came to first watch for my mom's birthday brunch. I had the steak & chimmichuri breakfast hash which is on their seasonal menu. It was 10/10 I come to this first watch every now and then and I will say the service was not great at all. Our server came to our table maybe twice. I had to get a manager just to get extra sauce.

Highlights for this restaurant are: Easy Parking Great Service Lots of covered outside seating Delicious food. I love the smoked salmon frittata with the side greens and buttery sourdough bread. Flavors are perfect with the drizzle of sour cream acrosscthe top. Serving size is very good. The 3 breakfast tacos are also filled well with fresh ingredients. The side of black beans is a bit much for first thing in the morning but substitutions can be done for other breakfast sides. They have regular iced coffee but will gladly bring a tall glass of ice and a pitcher of hot decalf to pour over the ice. Good coffee! I will definitely return here again.

Hokey Donuts with a side of blueberry sauce and chocolate sauce.

Came here for brunch and everything we had was delicious. The shrimp and grits were rich and full of flavor, and the strawberry tres leches French toast was amazing, soft, sweet, and indulgent without being too heavy. The blueberry lemon cornbread did not look like the one on the picture on display but it had a great texture and a nice balance of flavors. We also got the farmhouse hash, which was hearty and super satisfying. Service was fast and friendly, and the vibe was laid-back and comfortable. This First Watch location is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

Ham and gruyere cheese with tomato soup
Margie M.

It was so nice out and the waitress was great. Decided to try the ham and cheese it was really good. Id recommend the 1/2 the whole was just too much.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Rumchatta coffee
Rachel E.

Had a very nice breakfast this morning with no wait and fast friendly service. My husband and I love the cinnamon toast crunch rumchatta coffee and my daughter loves the purple haze drink. I tried the lavender whip cream French Toast today which was delicious and fluffy and the million dollar potatoes which was also yummy but way too intense for me. Highly recommend!

Power Bowl
Jennifer B.

To go orders here aren't always the best but dining in is never a problem. Servers and staff are extremely nice. I wish I got the name of our server today, she was a young lady who had the section on the outside. She's definitely my favorite server. I always get the power quinoa bowl and white vinaigrette on the side. The restaurant is clean. Will definitely be back.

Banana pancake with eggs, potatoes and bacon

Food was great!!!! Service very good and loved the bar seating!!!! Will definitely be coming back for more weekend brunches....

I ordered the Prosciutto Toast, which was decent but had a bit too much sauce for my taste. The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were there, but I would have preferred a lighter sauce. That said, the portion size was good, and the presentation was appealing.

Excellent service from Sisco Excellent food from the kitchen…read more Excellent drinks from the bar. What more to say? The greeting from our server set the tone and standard for the evening. The lobster appetizer was phenomenal. The chicken oysters, I personally don't see the hype there but the potato served with them is both the crispiest and the softest potato I've ever eaten. The short rib entree with mole sauce was as tender and flavorful as can be. The local jerk swordfish was cooked perfectly and everything on that plate together created wonderful bites. Cornbread dessert was my choice, I love cornbread and that hit the mark with the blueberry compote and ice cream. One nitpick, and this is absolutely a nitpick. The string lights that hang down the wall to the tables are filthy. So dirty they looked like twine rope. Now that didn't change my experience or make me question the cleanliness of the kitchen at all. That food was perfect. And I wouldn't lower my rating .1 because of it I would go back to driftwood more frequently if my schedule fit their hours better, this place is top notch. Make your reso and enjoy We had 4 cocktails, 2 apps, 2 entrees, 1 dessert. Shared everything. Bill with gratuity was about $270. It was worth every penny.

We came here with our college-aged daughter and had a really enjoyable evening. The atmosphere is…read morelively, with an EDM soundtrack that gives the restaurant a fun, club-like vibe. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to look over the menu before ordering. We started with the Steak Tartare, served with beer-battered smoked onion petals, truffle, egg yolk, and manchego. It was excellent and one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried the Za'atar Roasted Local Vegetables with spicy greens, feta tzatziki, lime pickles, and pepitas. It was good, but it wasn't my favorite dish. For our entrées, one person ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese with pork and beef ragu, housemade raw milk ricotta, and Parmigiano-Reggiano. It was rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. We also ordered the Jerk Local Swordfish from Fort Lauderdale with braised Swiss chard, local radish escovitch, and jackfruit miso beurre blanc. While the swordfish itself was cooked well, I wasn't a fan of the jerk seasoning. The flounder, however, was outstanding and probably my favorite entrée. To drink, I had the Les Fumées Blanches Orange Sauvignon Blanc, which I really enjoyed. Someone else had an Old Fashioned. For dessert, we shared the Affogato with mascarpone ice cream, dark chocolate, and espresso, and it was a perfect ending to the meal. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and we appreciated being able to enjoy our meal at a relaxed pace. It is on the pricey side, but that's fairly typical for a farm-to-table restaurant using quality ingredients. There's a small parking lot behind the restaurant, and we were lucky enough to grab a spot. Overall, it's a fun place for a date night or a nice dinner with family. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. Or if you want, they have a great bar and you can hang out there and have a bite.
