    Excelente and awesome place to come for breakfast

    Excellent costumer services. What I order was delivered in a good time manner. And everything was delicious. I would definitely come back with the family for sure.

    Carnitas Breakfast Quesadilla
    Tyrone F.

    First Watch is a breakfast and lunch destination if you love healthy food ingredients. I came here for late breakfast. The service is very friendly and attentive and the menu is deliciously curated with pancakes and quesadillas for breakfast and green tonics with the freshest ingredients. They have a seasonal menu which is my fave and an ongoing daily menu too which includes classics like French toast, pancakes and omelettes. They also have brunch cocktails like Bloody Mary and mimosas. I started with a kale tonic fresh juice and then dined on a carnita breakfast quesadilla which was a seasonal menu option which was tasty and excellent. I'm absolutely visiting here again the next time I'm in town.

    Bacado Omelette with a mixed greens salad.
    Mike G.

    I can always count on First Watch for a great brunch experience when I'm here visiting family. The service was very attentive and quick, and the food was fresh and delicious. We shared an order of million dollar bacon to start, always a great treat. I had the crab avocado toast from the spring menu, which was loaded with fresh crab and avocado, and topped with tangy pickled onions. My Mother had the Bacado omelette, which was fresh, and tasty. My partner opted for the works omelette, which was loaded with fresh ingredients, and served with perfectly seasoned crispy potatoes. Always a big pot of coffee on the table too! Highly recommended!

    I dropped into this First Watch location to grab a bite to eat after working all night. The restaurant was very clean and the hostess was super nice. My server, Jill, was fantastic. She was very helpful and extremely attentive, even though she was very busy running around getting the restaurant set up for the morning rush. I ordered the breakfast burrito, which came out in a timely manner, and was absolutely delicious. And I could only eat half of it. I would definitely recommend this place and I would most certainly recommend asking to be seated with Jill.

    The Traditional Breakfast
    Kimberly H.

    My hubby and I got to our church for effluent church in Estero and were told time change to later. We then asked if there was a good place to have breakfast. One of our greeters said you must go to First Watch. So glad we did. It was the first day that they had opened up since Hurricane Ian had struck the area. It was packed but the servers were spot on. Our server Leticia was awesome. She was attentive and friendly. I ordered their Traditional. 2 cage free scrambled eggs, Belgian waffle and bacon. It was incredible. It came with a blue berry, blackberry compost which was delicious. Also served with shooed butter and warmed maple syrup. It tasted so amazing. We will be back. All the servers were very friendly and help out each other and are quick to help customers too. Wonderful eatery, amazing food. We will be back.

    French toast (looks great but for me lacked flavor)
    Brett B.

    My wife and friends have alway spoke highly of FirstWatch. I found the service excellent and the food presentation good, but for me the French Toast lacked flavor. My wife's breakfast potatoes were hard and not cooked sufficiently. The waiter was very upfront that it would take 5 minutes to get another batch,'at which point the rest of her food would be cold. While I appreciated his honestly it's strange they wouldn't expedite a resolution. He offer other optima but my wife did not want any of those. He reduced the bill $2.00 without our asking which was a nice gesture. While this specific visit wasn't great and I wish they had more brunch/lunch options for non breakfast eaters, this place had a great reputation and I expect my wife will be back (I just won't join her).

    Avocado Toast
    Amanda S.

    First watch is very consistent having dined here over several years. Great for both breakfast and lunches. Their version of avo toast is elevated by lemon zest and flaky seat salt. Poached eggs are cooked perfectly. I can probably eat this 2 lbs of this bacon like popcorn at the movies - so addicting! The salmon frittata was lacking salmon - have to treasure hunt for it but still tasty. Reasonable prices and great service.

Erica is a top notch server who takes the time to remember her patrons and what they drink. Ethan has a signature coconut mojito that my husband (who hates coconut and i who hate mojitos) were able to agree was incredible and worth drinking again. The steak flat bread, coconut shrimp, and Keylime pie are always spot on. The corn dip must also be awesome cause I hear everyone ordering it all the time. If you can sit at the bar, you get to enjoy the staffs incredible interaction with each other. It genuinely looks like they all enjoy working here which speaks volumes to the management. Mike is non stop bustling in the kitchen to push out the great food in a timely fashion as his bar staff positively greet patrons and keep the ambiance fun and entertaining. Happy hour is 3-5. It is self seating and I highly encourage you get a table while someone stands in line to order food which will be delivered to you. There is also often live music. Great place to hang out on a beautiful sunny day

    I placed an online pickup order through the Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar website at 12:32 PM using their…read morepreferred ordering platform, ChowNow. The order was prepaid and included a 20% gratuity. After parking and walking to the restaurant, I received a text message at 12:47 PM stating that my order had been canceled and refunded because the restaurant could not make the order. Assuming this must have been an error, I still went inside and waited in line to explain what had happened. When I reached the counter and calmly explained the situation, several staff members immediately chimed in saying things like "I was watching and no orders came through." At that point it became clear that the order likely had not been acknowledged on their end and was automatically canceled after 15 minutes. Despite the fact that the order had been placed directly through the restaurant's own website and had already been prepaid with gratuity, there was no apology and no effort to resolve the situation by making the order. Instead, the staff member at the register told me that "ChowNow always doesn't work" and that I should have called the restaurant instead. That response was surprising considering the order was placed through their official website, which directs customers to use that exact system. I asked to speak with a manager and was told to step out of line. When the manager arrived, the interaction unfortunately got worse. Before I could finish explaining the situation, he interrupted with "Are you going to let me talk now?" and proceeded to repeat that none of this was the restaurant's fault. There was still no apology and no attempt to remedy the situation by simply preparing the order that had already been placed. What made the experience particularly disappointing is that this location has been one I've visited many times over the years. Mistakes happen in any business, and an online ordering system failure is understandable. What is not understandable is the complete lack of basic customer service and the unwillingness of management to take ownership of the problem or attempt to fix it. A simple apology and an offer to make the order would have resolved the entire situation. Instead, the response from both staff and management was dismissive and defensive. Unfortunately, that interaction has turned what had been a frequently visited restaurant into one I will not be returning to.

Our waitress was kind and serviceable--nothing over-the-top, but attentive enough. The first appetizer out was the salad. We requested no onions, and it came out exactly as requested. There wasn't any salt on the table, just oil and vinegar, which I was actually okay with since it helped me keep my salt intake down. For our main dishes, we ordered the chaufa with gluten-free soy sauce, again requesting no onions. Everything came out correctly. The only issue was that it was a bit cold, as if it had been sitting out longer than it should have. We mentioned it, they took it back, reheated it, and it was fine afterward--no real issue there. I ordered the beef short rib, medium well. Unfortunately, it came out closer to medium rare in my opinion. a bit disappointing, but ok. Overall, the food was okay, service was good, and the ambiance was nice. Since the place was packed, it's clear that a lot of people enjoy it. Was this the best food I've ever had? No. But was it bad? Not at all. It is a little on the pricey side, but that's to be expected for this type of restaurant. I'd consider it a solid place and would definitely give it another try to order something different next time. I wasn't overly wowed, but it was a good, reliable dining experience and worth a second visit.

The Buffalo Ziggy Chicken Mac & Cheese offered exactly what one craves from upscale comfort food: bold flavor, creamy consistency, and just the right balance of spice.

The Specialty Scampi deserves its own mention.
