    Taco al pastor hash with tortillas

    Today's visit gave me a positive new opinion of First Watch. I had eaten here several times before and never had a very good experience. I really enjoyed it this time. I tried the taco al pastor hash special and a "morning meditation" juice. Both were fresh and delicious. Although they were very busy, the food also came out quickly. I hope this upward trend continues.

    Food and service was great like always but this location's bathrooms are disgusting and are in need of a serious update!!

    Another amazing experience at this location. We came here around 11 on a Saturday with three people total, so we had about a 20-25 minute wait. There's not a whole lot of seating while you're waiting, but there's a few benches outside. It seemed to be very busy which makes sense! Afterwards, we got a booth, and we immediately served our drinks. It took us a bit to figure out what we wanted, but our waitress was very kind and patient with us. Our food came out very quickly, and everything (including modifications) was correct! It's very cute inside, and even when it's fully crowded, you can still hear everyone at your table as the acoustics are good in there. We were given multiple drink refills without having to ask, and we never felt rushed.

    Chocolate chip pancakes and avocado toast.

    Was craving pancakes so stopped here with my mom. The pancakes are massive; wasn't expecting them to be so big. Still good; almost finished all of it. My mom had the avocado toast with braised eggs and loved it! Def would come again.

    Again, another great experience at first watch! We first checked in online so we could get a spot quicker on the waitlist which made the process even smoother. This location is overall a great little spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch... so many options to choose from. If it is really busy parking can be hard to find and you may end up parking far away. I went with the chickichanga today, which I took out the chorizo and subbed sausage instead which was delicious. The potatoes were amazing & I loved the little side of fruit. I wish they had the million dollar harvest hash all year round, I'm hoping they have it next summer!!!

    THE WORKS OMELET
    Oli G.

    Solid food. Everything tastes fresh to order. They had some seasonal quirky items that I passed on because they looked to sweet and dessert-ish and I was in the mood for breakfast. Omelet could've been cheesier. I ordered an omelet with bacon, sausage, ham, mushrooms and maybe onions. It was okay. They chopped up some sausage links and put it in the omelet. Bacon was crispy and crimini mushrooms were fresh tasting yet again it could've been ooey gooey cheesier so I guess I should've asked for extra cheese. Cubed potatoes could've been crispier but was okay. Wheat toast was over slathered with butter but the bread they used for the toast was fabulous and will probably make me step up my bread buying game when I go to the grocery store. They've got an expansive menu including cocktails and mimosas and things also come out quick. Other than the toast nothing else tasted oily and greasy. Nevertheless it's solid but I'm not blown away. There are several breakfast type restaurants you pass on the way to getting here that make the SAME TYPES of breakfast entrees yet the only thing that sets this place apart are the alcoholic cocktails and mimosas they offer during the weekday as soon as they open as opposed to a brunch type place that opens at 10am or 11am on the weekends. At the end of the day it's SOLID, they get a lot of Hilliard business as it was packed, it's just not life altering or game changing.

    Excellent! Best breakfast I have had in a long time. first watch has reallly gotten much better over the years. The quality, quantity and overall culture of the restaurant has skyrocketed. it's not average any longer. everything we ordered was wonderful! They even have fresh pressed juice! I think my toast had an entire avocado on it. Also wondering if they sell their bread by the loaf. It was delish!

    Sunrise granola bowl, blueberry muffin
    Mackinzee B.

    I'm in town for work and recognized the First Watch name, which we have close to me, down south. I popped in and got my usual, an iced coffee, the sunrise granola bowl, and a blueberry muffin. It didn't disappoint! The fruit was very fresh, especially in the winter. Great filling, yet healthier option.

    Top 5 restaurant in central Ohio. Well deserved. Nice menu, but your choices are limited. I was…read moresurprised, of the five entree choices, two were pork (we don't eat pork) and no chicken option. We settled on the steak and black cod, although we really did not want red meat. Our server Kelcie, who was 5* by the way, helped us in navigating all the intricacies to the ingredients. Lots of nuance to the menu. Our choices: lamb appetizer, black cod, sirloin, and chocolate mousse; each were tasty, presented well, and excellent dishes. The potato cake on the steak was very different and well done. Our Old Fashion had a nice taste. The place is very small and reservations are a must. The GM Michael came by and chatted us up...to thank us for coming, and glad they were able to accommodate our food needs. Nice touch. Excellent bathrooms. Thanks for that. Be prepared to spend $100 per person. Welcome to the Columbus culinary scene.

We were nervous at first because no one we talked to knew what Gene's was BUT we are SO SO SO glad we went! From the moment you step onto their property it was such an incredible experience. Who knew such a cute and quaint little restaurant could pack so much flavor and art into their food and such a personalized dining experience. While we had a reservation at 8:45, we decided to eat in at the bar after having the most incredible espresso martini of our lives and talking to John. My sister and I opted to share multiple courses - each of which was better than the last. It was an amazing experience and we were lucky enough to compliment and thank the executive chef in person. We left full and satisfied but not stuffed which is exactly what we were looking for! HIGHLY recommend Gene's if you're looking for an elevated dining experience and great service while in Dublin, Ohio!

The atmosphere was modern with a southern twist. I'm not going to lie, I chuckled a bit when I noticed my water glass said "Bless Your Heart". In Appalachian culture, this is actually an insult. We had a large group, but the service was excellent. Very friendly, attentive, and everything was brought out timely and correctly. My food was really good! It was brunch time so I had coffee, the "Mimosa of the Moment" which was an apple cinnamon, a biscuit with blueberry preserves, and the Southern Shakshouka. All were fantastic and I would definitely get again. I also thought the price was affordable for the quantity.

My server was great. The place is really lovely and I like there is now a parking garage just steps away. I started with a specialty sip cocktail - an Orange Cinnamon Bun Old Fashioned, and ordered 3 apps since they were half-priced for happy hour. The Biscuits for a Cause (2 with butter, jam and honey), Fried Pickles (chips with ranch), and Famous Fried Green Tomatoes (I don't normally like goat cheese, but these are served with stone-ground goat cheese grits) were all fabulous and I had plenty to take home after trying all. I had a glass of red blend wine with my entree, which was the Pan-Seared Salmon. My two chosen sides were the mashed potatoes and fried okra. The salmon was perfectly cooked; it was a great dish. I also got the Rosemary & Parmesan Breakfast Potatoes to go to have with my breakfast this morning. The service, food and atmosphere were all very enjoyable. The manager also helped out bringing food, and checking on me. I would return for another meal.
