    Bloody Mary
    Agnew D.

    A Mother's Day outing with my son and it was well worth the 45 minute wait. The service was actually the best part as our waiter was outstanding. The food was great as always and so were our adult cocktails.

    First day in Nashville and we tried this breakfast place... The presentation was awesome ....And the Food is excellent... my Belgian waffle was delicious... so many things on the menu to choose from... We came back a second time during my visit and had lunch... they did not disappoint... I had a 1/2 turkey sandwich & with a cup of hearty vegetable soup... So good ... plus we bought a couple of cookies... I'm mean they were really good...

    Water and condiments.

    I've visited other First Watch locations. This one is actually the closest one to me, but I hadn't made a stop here yet. I'm happy to report that this was as good an experience as the other locations. The servers were attentive and quick to respond to our requests. The food is always delicious, and the rowing seasonal menus make it ideal to visit at least once a season to try the new menu out. Aside from seasons dishes, there are also seasonal drinks. It's always fun to discover what new drinks they have available. Whatever you order, add the million dollar bacon. it is delicious and compliments any plate.

    The food was good. We had the farmhouse and they seemed to have used a different type tomato in the dish. The service was great I ordered online for 10:30 pickup and it was ready at 10:30. It was hot and the plates looked great. The restaurant was humming and very full, but the servers were on top on it. The noise level was really not that bad.

    Run don't walk to First Watch! Excellent menu selections, terrific food and coffee, and our server Tye was great. They have a fall menu selection right now and we tried the pumpkin spice donuts, served with two dipping sauces and they were yummy! Moist and delicious and just a hint of pumpkin and cinnamon. Not a huge restaurant but very cute!

    First Watch used to be my favorite place but it's definitely lacked flavor at some locations and this is one of them. The Brussels hash only had 4 pieces of Brussels sprouts, it was mostly potato and bacon and cheese. Not a lot of goat cheese on the plate either but very generous with the crispy chilli oil, wasn't spicy at all though. Overall, it's a place I'll return to because they have decent dishes but this wasn't one of them. Came in on Saturday and beat the rush, so it was pleasant and clean. Only complaint is how small the tables are, limits how much you can order at a time.

    The food was perfect. So yummy. Diverse menu. Healthy options. Great presentation. The staff really enjoys working and it shows. I love that. . The smoked salmon eggs Benedict was the best I've had with greens and a lemon-ish dressing tossed in it was so yummy. The family devoured their dishes as well. The cinnamon toast milk drink was unique and perfect for brunch.

    Lots of good options from sweet and savory, to hearty and healthy. I came here for to do a working brunch and there was plenty of space and I didn't feel rushed. Would definitely return again when coming back in town to try their more savory options.

    A.M Superfood Bowl
    Carol D.

    Visiting Nashville and this is my second time at First Watch and the food is very good. I love the healthy options (and the not so healthy ones). I opted for healthy and ordered the A.M superfoods bowl which was excellent . My friend had the Ricotta Pancakes, also very good but large. The service was swift and attentive and we really like the location in the Hermitage area. We were not about to go back into downtown or the Gulch a 3rd time with those exorbitant parking fees. We will continue to support businesses outside of the city during future trips.

    First Watch,  Hermitage, TN

    This First Watch is excellent. We had a couple of issues (sometimes, shtuff happens),but our server was right on top of it and they were resolved quickly. Nicki was an amazing server! They have excellent customer service here. The food was amazing. The Million Dollar Bacon is a must have and so are the Million Dollar potatoes. The service... impeccable! The atmosphere is cozy, some noise, but easy to visit and have conversations. I highly recommend First Watch.

We got a couple drinks (I forgot to take a picture) as well as a warmed cookie. Staff were friendly and personable! It was really nice in comparison all of the snow and ice we had just gotten. The only thing I'll note is that it has very limited seating and parking was not the best. Parking was kind of typical for the area, but there are maybe 8-10 spots and basically no standing/waiting area. Despite that, it's got some interesting spots right next door (I think one was a library/bookstore). I could see it being a little afternoon adventure.

Yellow Table has been open for just over a year in the Eastwood Village complex that seemingly overnight brought us a coworking space, cute plant shop, wine bar, book shop, etc, and Yellow Table really rounds it out as the lone spot in this area for breakfast, coffee, or lunch. The vibe is cozy neighborhood cafe, and the service is always welcoming and incredibly personable (I almost always see the owner herself serving up food to customers with a smile!) The food is what truly stands out to me about this spot. I fell in love with buckwheat crepes on a trip to France a few years ago but there are few places in Nashville serving decent crepes, let alone buckwheat ones. Yellow Table offers sweet and savory crepe options, all cooked perfectly lightly crispy and fresh with that incredible nutty buckwheat flavor, exactly how it should be done. My favorites have been the savory crepes, particularly the build your own with prosciutto, leek, spinach, and cheddar - a filling, tasty, and decently healthy option for $15. There's also coffee and tea, pastries, salads, soups (with bread from the amazing wine bar next door), and rotating specials each day. There's limited seating: a few two or three person tables and one shared table inside; in warmer months there are also a few small tables outside. But the WiFi is decent and I see a lot of folks coming here to do a bit of work while grabbing a bite. In just a year Yellow Table Cafe has already made itself an indelible East Nashville neighborhood gem. With the tastiest crepes to grace the Nashville dining scene, chill vibes, warm service, and reasonable prices, here's to hoping for many more wonderful years serving the community for this spot!

    Internal policies and zero autonomy for the manager, triumphs over customer experience…read more My group of 8 asked to be seated in a half empty restaurant. Apparently only one section of the restaurant can accommodate 8 people and we were asked to wait. Despite calling ahead and confirming there was no wait for our group. We were flexible and suggested our group take two booths side by side. And was told no. Two different server sections and "policy " would not allow the split of servers. We happily suggested two servers, two checks, at two tables. Problem solved...but was told no, citing "policy". Ok...how about those two empty booths 4 feet away from each other? Are they in the same section? Yes, but we cannot split you up because you came in as a group? "That's our policy" Again the restaurant was half empty on a Sunday during brunch. And yet they could not seat us in separate booths that were right next to each other?? My questions are as follows: 1) Are you able to forward me a snippet of this "policy" the manager spoke of? The one that says groups cannot be split up at their request into adjacent booths with different servers and checks? 2) Does this policy also state that once server sections are drawn in dry-erase marker at the hostess stand, they are immoveable and permanent regardless of customer experience? 3) Let's assume for a moment that the ENTIRE restaurant was empty, except for a party of 8 in the dedicated larger party section. Moments later, another party of 8 walks in....would policy prohibit that 2nd party from being able to sit until the first party finished? Customer experience gets 1 star. This was our 2nd and final attempt at Keke's in Mt. Juliet. The first attempt - we made it into a booth with 7 people (one on the end), but the restaurant didn't have forks. Back-ordered or something? How do you open without forks? Plastic was not the solution.

The line was long, the wait staff maybe took 2 or 3 orders at a time and then fulfilled the orders before taking the next batch of customers so the line was out the door. I bit into the breakfast sandwich and it was very salty, too salty to eat. I tried, I really did but after two bites I just couldn't do it and threw it out. So I spent $10 on a breakfast sandwich that was inedible. I was glad I had the pound cake as a back up which was fine.

They also have two breakfast sandwich offerings and several pastries, yogurts, pre-made salads, and meal bars, and drinks to go. Busy Friday morning, only had two people working hard & quickly, but still quite a long wait - they could benefit from being more staffed. No where to sit in the café itself, but you can take a beautiful walk through the garden and find a bench or somewhere to sit.
