    So today, January 6th, First Watch came out with their new Seasonal menu which includes The B.E.C (Bacon. Egg. Cheese) sandwich but also the ever so savory and tasty, Chimichurri Steak & Egg Hash. My girlfriend & I shared this plate because it is simply huge and packed with flavor. Let's start off with the steak itself. Seared and cooked to perfection, it took on a Brazilian twist with the Chimichurri sauce along with the red & orange bell peppers. It was peppered with Feta cheese, spinach, and spices from the diced potatoes that it comes with. But let's not forget the eggs your way (we opted for over medium) that settles right in middle of it all. The service from First Watch is always impeccable and the ambiance that First Watch gives is a sense of family & belonging. I truly love this place from the bottom of my heart with my go to entree always being The Trifecta which comes with a crispy vanilla belgian waffle that is light in weight but when doused with warm maple syrup and blueberry compote, it is unmatched to any other belgian waffle I have ever tasted. You also get your choice of meat such as hardwood bacon, chicken sausage (my fave), ham, and turkey sausage links. If you like spicy and sweet, upgrade your regular bacon strips to the Million Dollar bacon which is a maple glazed and spicy dressing that the bacon strips are smothered in. It can't be beat!

    Steak & Eggs Hash

    Been to this location a bunch of times because Clermont, for all its great qualities, has a SUPER limited breakfast/brunch scene. This First Watch location is consistent with others I've been to. The food is decent quality with fresh ingredients. I especially love their wheat bread. Due to it being one of the only places to get breakfast in the area, it does get busy on weekends. If you arrive after 9 am it'll be busy & likely have a wait. But during the week it's pretty slow. This particular visit I ordered one of the specials - a steak and eggs hash. My eggs were cooked over hard when over medium was requested but that's not a huge deal. The parmesan sauce on the top was delicious (made up for the lack of yolk) and overall the bowl was tasty. My best advice is to go with the specials. They tend to be more flavorful and interesting than the regular menu.

    Shishito brisket hash

    I've been to this location a couple times and it's pretty good. The key is to come before the brunch rush because it gets very crowded. My most recent visit was this (Sunday) morning, around 8:30 am. The place was mostly empty so we were seated right away and received excellent, attentive service from our waiter. I ordered the shishito brisket hash. I believe it's a summer special. It was very tasty but I felt it could've used a little more meat. My husband got the traditional breakfast and he was happy with it. Both of our meals were served piping hot, which was great.

    Stopped in for breakfast as was very pleased with the food and service. I ordered the multigrain pancakes, bacon and multigrain toast while my son had the eggs and sausage breakfast. The food was delicious. The pancake was huge, I did not finish it.

    Great spot for brunch! Delicious food and good service. So many brunch options to choose from and the quality of the food is very good. The ambiance is very nice and full of energy. But do except to wait some time before being seated. I had the Chorizo Omelette and it was very tasty and filling. It came with toast and a side salad. The omelette itself had lots of veggies and was very flavorful. I would definitely get it again. When I'm back in this area I'll try something else from their menu because everything looks great!

    Eggs Benedict
    Christopher S.

    This location is next to five guys and parking is pretty easy. A little disappointed in the brunch here. While I do appreciate that it seems their ingredients are of higher quality, the taste was not there for me to get it more than 3 stars. Coffee was very weak, and the mint mocha with cold foam was underwhelming. I actually don't know if there was coffee in the mocha. Anyway, also ordered the spiced donut holes and millionaire's bacon. While they had a decent taste, I have definitely had better of both. Also the donut holes seemed baked which is not what I was expecting. Anyway, ordered the farmhouse hash. I had it come with side of fruit and buttered grits. They use bob's red mill grits so it is also of high quality and those tasted good. The hash was also good but I wished it had a meat in it as well and more cheese with less potato. Tried also the eggs Benedict and it had just a little too much lemon in the hollandaise, and poached egg was a little overcooked but otherwise decent as well.

    The Tri-Fecta for breakfast!
    Kate M.

    I have been to a few different First Watch locations and this is probably my favorite one to eat at! It is in a location in Clermont close to where I run a lot of races, so it has become a spot we frequent often after we have run. The service is always great and the food is fresh and hot. And they offer an option that you can put your name on their waitlist on their app so you can see how long the wait is approximately. Yes there are a lot of First Watch locations, but this is one of the best!

    We decided to try this first watch in Clermont today and really enjoyed it! It was a bit busy since we got there around noon on a Saturday, but we only waited for about 10 minutes to be seated. I had the kale tonic juice my wife had the morning meditation juice, both were very good! I had the works omelet and she had the shrimp and grits. We were very satisfied with our meals and portion sizes. It's been some time since we've gone to first watch, and this one did not disappoint!

    The Trifecta breakfast

    I recently ordered takeout for breakfast, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. I ordered 5 meals The Trifecta came with only a sparse amount of egg, more of a garnish than a proper serving. It lacked the protein needed to feel satisfying. Additionally, another order promised fresh fruit, but it was conspicuously absent. Without the fruit, the plate felt incomplete and unbalanced--just carbs and fat with no brightness or sweetness to round it left me feeling like I didn't get my money's worth. A little more care with portioning and ensuring all promised components are included would make a big difference.

    Came back to give them another chance. As much as I wanted to like First Watch their quality has gone down a lot. The food was decent but the salad really killed it for me. It's gone bad and they're still serving it. The salmon egg Benedict was $15 but it was maybe 2oz. The mushroom omelette was pretty good. The service was quicker so that's a plus. Unfortunately I won't be back to this location. I'm hoping other locations will be better.

When our burgers were delivered our server claimed the kitchen made our burgers incorrectly- she either forgot to put it in or it had been sitting for quite sometime. Top burger bun was luke warm. Fries (that were an additional cost) were burnt. For the $17 price one would expect more than a thin slice of bacon for a burger with bacon in the name. "Enjoyed" the meal without anything to drink as I was never offered a refill of water.

The ambiance and music were really enjoyable and made for a nice atmosphere. The lobster mac and cheese and shrimp cocktail were both great and definitely the highlights of the meal. They were out of mashed potatoes and offered a baked potato instead, which was fine, but felt a bit underwhelming for the type of dining experience and price point. Unfortunately, the tomahawk steak was a major disappointment. While the center was cooked okay, the steak arrived only lukewarm, which made it seem like it may have been cooked too early and sat before being served. On top of that, the exterior was so heavily charred that every bite tasted burnt and completely overpowered the flavor of the meat. For a steak at this price point, that level of quality was really disappointing. What made the experience worse was the confusion over pricing. Since the tomahawk was listed at market price, we specifically asked beforehand and were quoted $125 by our server. When the bill came, we were charged $175. After my husband questioned it, the explanation became unclear, and we were ultimately told $125 was the correct price and the bill was adjusted. Had we not spoken up, we would have been overcharged by $50. We really wanted to love this place for a special occasion and appreciate supporting local businesses, but overall the experience ended up being just okay.
