    I had not been to a First Watch in a long time but we had driven 2.5 hrs to Sarasota and got there at about 11:30 so we felt brunch was the right choice for a meal! The place was not packed so we were seated right away. My teen had chocolate chip pancakes, my husband had french toast and I had eggs benedict. All 3 dishes were delicious and good portions. I also had their green juice which was very refreshing. They had both inside and outside seating which is great this time of the year. Overall will come again

    Pancakes

    We had breakfast this past Saturday morning at this location. I've eaten at First Watch a good 5-6 times over the past few years, but have not reviewed them yet. I would like start by saying the ambiance was charming and clean. The waitress who waited on us was very friendly and attentive. We had the egg's benne with ham and home fries, grits, and a chocolate chip pancake. Now for the eggs Benedict the eggs slightly overcooked but overall pretty good, the home fries were decent (wish they were a little softer), the grits had a unique cornbread taste which we both agreed were tasty, the pancake however was slightly burnt on the bottom, but hey maybe they made a mistake that day, I will try again in the future. Overall not a bad breakfast spot. Food 6.5 Ambiance 8.0 Service 9.0

    First Watch is always great! This location is no different. We came on a Friday morning. I had the classic with potatoes, eggs and sausage. Wife had the new maple breakfast croissant and the little one had eggs and sausage. All the food came out fast and was delicious. The staff wad incredible and nice. Prices are fair. Ambience is relaxing and calm. Perfect experience.

    Brooklyn Breakfast Sandwich

    The Brooklyn Breakfast Sandwich is a MUST try!! It was delicious and perfectly executed. I got mine without mayo and onions and it was perfect. The pastrami was crisp and plentiful. Lived the EBTB seasoning in the roll. The fruit was the perfect side. Also pro tip: get yourself in the waitlist before you drive there. You will get in super quick when you arrive. Delicious!!

    Tomato basil soup

    This photo is of the amount of tomato basil soup in the to go 1/2 salad and soup order. I should have poured it into a measuring cup to see how much was in there. Lol!

    Came here this morning and place looks awesome after they had some construction done. Not sure what it looked like before it but it looks really awesome and clean. My burrito was good but the only thing I would suggest is for them to press the wrap so it doesn't have the full taste of it, that kind of took it away from what was inside it . But overall it was good and we had a great meal

    Excellent place for Sunday brunch or actually any day of the week. Service is usually fast. Food here is fresh and really good.

    Great food; good price/ value. Only regret is that they need to decorate the place. It looks like a cafeteria.

The lobster bisque was flavorful but a little too thin. It didn't feel like a traditional bisque. Almost made me feel like they were making it more thinned out to keep the cost down. Although, I'm not sure that is true. The eggs Benedict was beautifully presented and the croissant it came on was delightful, but the egg was way over cooked. It felt like chewing on rubber. Actually, I didn't know an eggs texture could get that rubbery. Someone really really tried to overdo it haha. The hollandaise sauce was a little too tangy. The tang was overpowering the taste of the hollandaise. Overall, I hope they stay and business and keep providing the community with an ethnic experience. Maybe have tastings for the crew when there is something new and the crew needs to be honest with the chef. I didn't try the pastries because nothing jumped out at my but I'm glad they have it in the store for a nice homey touch. If I was looking for somewhere to eat, I would recommend this place for sure. And I would come back to eat here and try something new.

I had downloaded the App, so I could put our scores right in the score card. Turns out they have big screens throughout, that show your scores and other people that are playing. Cool idea! The music is very loud. We thought it would have been a good idea since Monday is senior citizen day, if they played classic rock instead of modern music. The course was really nice and we had a lot of fun. After 18 holes and then a challenge hole, we stopped for drinks and lunch. You have to pull up the menu on the app. There is a variety of sandwiches, salads, wraps and apps. You place your entire order, including drinks in the app, pay for it now or later and everything is brought to you. Our drinks arrived quickly by a friendly bartender. I settled on a fried chicken sandwich with fries. Food arrived quickly and looked good. The sandwich was fine and was served with a spicy sauce. We played the black course after lunch and found it as enjoyable as the red. A fun day was had by all. We will be back!!!

It was beautiful outside and luckily were offered an outdoor table (which was perfect as in inside seating area was very cold). We were sat (2ppl) and were about the 5th or 6th table outside. There was a table sitting next to us that had clearly finished their food and we're waiting to pay their check after about 15 minutes. The mother took the two other children and left the father there to pay the bill. About 10 minutes later, he ended up getting up and going inside to find a server. His new sword ever came outside. We sat at our table for probably 30 minutes and watched the host. Continue to see people outside filling it up. After about 35 minutes of nobody ever even approaching our table, we got up and left. I don't understand if you are short staffed why you would open an extra receiving area if you cannot service it? I have been there in the past and it has not ever been this bad. But after almost 45 minutes, I'm not even being acknowledged, we had to leave and find lunch somewhere else. To me, this was 100% on greedy management. You are not gonna increase your sales by filling up the restaurant and then not having enough service staff on duty to take care of it. I noticed another table also get up and walk towards their car after they saw us get up and leave. Not a manager in sight, not a server insight, just the continuing seating by a young man who was only doing what he was told to do, obviously without direction.
