    Power Breakfast Quinoa Bowl
    Criselda C.

    I've been a Keke's fan . . . until trying First Watch. The food is great! The menu selection has a bunch of interesting things. I'm trying to be healthy and was impressed by the quinoa bowl. Service was incredibly friendly and patient. Ambiance is farmhouse modern.

    I unfortunately really did not care for the food at this place. I had the chicken Chunga and it was just decent. I really didn't like the flavor profile. It just wasn't that great. I also had the million dollar potatoes and they were also just blah. The fruit was good, but I had a few pieces that were older. The ambience at the place is very nice and welcoming. The food just was not good very mediocre unfortunately.

    Another great trip!! Dikla was a great waitress and was very attentive and sweet. We were sat immediately on walking in the door. The timing of the food was perfect to be able to have conversation and hang out, but not feel like it was taking too long or we had been forgotten. There's also plenty of parking out front. Always a nice spot to bring the family!

    Food was really good! Our waitress was nice too! The watermelon juice is definitely a must

    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...

    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!

    The Works Omelette

    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.

    Best breakfast in the greater Nashville area!! Staff is amazing. Food is fresh and homemade. I…read morewould just go for the toast and homemade strawberry jam!! We had the meat lovers wrap, pastrami hash and biscuits n gravy. We will be repeat customers. Prepare to wait. Free parking.

    Honest dining experience: Hospitality so good that it competes against how good the food is…read more They're both a 5/5!! Would recommend to anyone visiting or around the area. Tap in below: Our waitress was previously a Nevadan so we felt right at home with her welcoming smile and kindness. We were celebrating my fiancée's birthday and asking for recommendations and she asked her tables for local recommendations.... Nothing says home grown and home cooking like hospitality that's spread from table to table. Simply impressed and just an overall solid experience that changes the way you view hospitality. Plus.... Her recommends to on the zoni was the perfect way to start our day! -Zoni omelette: 5/5 One of my favorite bites of the vacation, one of my favorite omelettes I've ever had... poblano pepper crema neutralizing a savory machaca marinated beef that's savory, flavorful and just very well paired with smoky Monterrey jack cheese and a well crafted egg dish. While sounding heavy, was met with a light with a fresh pico de gallo and a well crafted crispy but fluffy hash brown. The dish is very well crafted by the restaurant and is a must have if you're in the area. I'd put this omelette in my top egg dishes to get. Very pleased! -biscuits and gravy 5/5 -drop biscuit.... That's all that needs to be said. Pockets of crispy, flaky, fluffy, and just delicious bread that's paired with a rich and creamy gravy. Peppery and flavorful while being light and emulsified to the biscuit to give you a traditional taste of a good breakfast classic. Very well executed. (Only available on the weekends) Simple and just an amazing experience. From the service to the food. I'd go out of my way visit this restaurant and you should too!

    We've been to The Finch three times now--twice sitting at the bar and once at a table. We…read moredefinitely prefer the bar, but I think that's just because we're bar people! The bar has two hidden TVs that you can only see when you sit at the bar, which is such a cool touch. It keeps the space feeling upscale without sacrificing the ability to catch a game. The overall ambiance is great, and the music is always at the perfect volume for an easy conversation. The drinks have been consistently excellent. We've tried both cocktails and wine, and everything has been delicious. The wine is a little overpriced in our opinion, but it was so good that I'm glad we still ordered it! On our most recent visit, we started with the burrata. It was very good, but I do wish there had been more sauce and more cantaloupe. The sauce felt more like an accent than something that really tied the dish together. That said, the perfect bite was definitely the burrata with the prosciutto and cantaloupe! For our entrees, Jonathan ordered the pork chop, and I had the piri piri chicken. Both came with broccolini and patatas bravas. I was expecting traditional Spanish-style patatas bravas, so when whole baby potatoes showed up, I was initially a little disappointed. Don't let that fool you, though--these potatoes were incredible!!! Crispy on the outside, perfectly cooked on the inside, and packed with flavor! They ended up being one of my favorite parts of the meal! My piri piri chicken was fantastic! The portion was much larger than I expected, and the piri piri sauce served on the side was absolutely lick-the-plate good. I found myself dipping the potatoes and broccolini in it because it was just that delicious. Piri piri isn't something you come across often in Nashville, and The Finch absolutely nails it--and at a really reasonable price. Jonathan's pork chop was cooked perfectly with great flavor. It wasn't an over-the-top, show-stopping dish, but for around $30--including both sides--at a more upscale restaurant, it's hard to beat the value. One more recommendation: get the volcano rock shrimp. We had it on a previous visit, and we still talk about it! It's easily one of our favorite dishes we've had here. The Finch has been consistently good every time we've visited, and that's what keeps bringing us back! Great food, great drinks, a fun atmosphere, and solid value for the quality. We'll definitely be back again!
