    Full breakfast menu
    Michael S.

    My mom was doing rehab at the nearby rehab center so i stopped in for a quick breakfast, the food was good the staff was friendly and the coffee was hot and in a real cup! Definitely get some of the million dollar bacon, lots of options from healthy bowls to bacon covered in gravy you should find something you like or that fits your dietary needs pretty easy. I really enjoyed my Avocado toast with eggs and Black coffee!

    The service was phenomenal.The minute you walk in smiles everywhere.And greeted always go to available seating. The atmosphere very qui normal.In fact for a place of this style and size guys very comfortable for group settings. The food not only arrived very quickly made to order and delicious.But very healthy.You definitely get your bang for your buck here.

    Regular pancake, they're big!

    We were in the area and this was one of the best rated places to eat with a big group. The food was good but now outstanding, the eggs seemed to be overcooked but still edible. Their service was very attentive. The decoration was cleaned and modern farm style.

    Great coffee and service! We had no issues getting a table and being seated right away on a Saturday morning. We all enjoyed our food, however, we didn't love that the bread for the eggs Benedict was a ciabatta roll. It doesn't cut as easily as an English muffin.

    A.M. Super foods bowl. Coconut milk chia seed pudding with bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and granola.

    This First Watch restaurant is huge, probably to accommodate all the winter residents. Decor is fresh and trendy and the restaurant is clean. Our food was awesome. My elderly mom ordered one multitgrain pancake with blueberries. But you could exchange blueberries for bananas or chocolate chips as well. We like that you can order one pancake if you have a smaller appetite, which is great for the budget, too! I got the coconut milk chia seed pudding with fresh bananas, blueberries, strawberries, and granola. It was so yummy!! We also got coffee but they also serve a variety of brunchy cocktails. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. Located very close to the Villages/few miles from Spanish Square area, with a Publix and other businesses in this plaza. Highly recommend!

    Burnt and undercooked breakfast potatoes.

My mom was out of town so my dad and I went for an early Father's Day celebration. Unfortunately, it was one of the kitchen's off nights as the calamari which is normally cooked perfectly came out rubbery and overdone. Wait staff offered to have the kitchen remake it but my dad wasn't sure it would come out any better the second time, depending on how the kitchen was timing or judging the cook. He opted to get the voodoo pasta which I had ordered as well. The chicken in the voodoo pasta was also overdone and on the chewy side due. Pasta sauce was definitely bland in comparison to the sauce from a special the week prior that our same waiter had said was actually the voodoo sauce. Sad that nothing came out how we'd hoped, especially on a celebration day. One last note for readers: the dining room to the back right of the restaurant is extremely loud and hard to hear even those you are dining with, regardless of the number of tables filled.

    STOP THE PRESS!! We have a winner. Nominated for #1 gyro…read moreplatter for the state of Florida. It started out with quick courteous service. The ambiance was of an upscale small specialty restaurant. Had the gyro platter and what an incredible meal. The meat was a generous portion that was sliced thin. The meat was hot, seasoned to perfection and tender. The small side salad was fresh and with the Greek dressing was amazing. The seasoned fries were hot and tasty. Soooo delicious could not stop eating. Very content and feeling full. If you are anywhere near here you owe it to yourself to stop and sample the food.

    The food was okay. Perfectly respectable. The kind of meal where you nod, say, "Yeah, that's pretty…read moregood," and continue living your life. The rice was a little dry, but flavorful enough to avoid prosecution. The hummus was good. The fries were solid. The lamb was easily the star of the meal and, for a brief shining moment, all was right with the world. Then came the beer. Halfway through drinking it, I discovered the glass was cracked. Not scratched. Not chipped in some charming artisanal way. Cracked. So now dinner had unexpectedly become a game of "Did I Just Drink From Broken Glass?" I pointed it out to the bartender, assuming the response would be fairly straightforward: apology, fresh glass, full replacement beer, perhaps a quiet acknowledgment that drinking vessels should generally remain in one piece. Instead, I received a replacement beer that was about two-thirds full. Sir. We have moved beyond beer accounting. You just served me a drink in a cracked glass. I had already consumed half of it before noticing. I could have cut my lip, swallowed something I definitely did not order, or spent the rest of the evening wondering whether my next stop was home or urgent care. And somehow, in the middle of all that, we still found time to save approximately one-third of a beer. I wasn't asking for ownership of the restaurant. I wasn't demanding reparations from the Greek government. I just wanted one complete, unbroken beer. The food was okay. Good food-truck-level okay. The lamb was genuinely very good. But the cracked glass followed by the carefully rationed replacement turned an otherwise ordinary meal into a minor Greek tragedy. And perhaps that is where the lesson lives. For what is a man, really, but a temporary vessel wandering through an indifferent universe, hoping only that his hummus is creamy, his lamb is tender, and the vessel holding his beer is not actively trying to murder him? The ancient Greeks warned us about hubris. I always assumed they meant kings challenging the gods. Perhaps they meant bartenders looking at a cracked beer glass and thinking, "Two-thirds should cover it." Somewhere, Dionysus wept. But maybe the missing third of that beer was not a loss at all. Is one-third of a beer really worth carrying anger home? No. Life moves fast enough. Slow down. Enjoy the lamb. Laugh at the absurdity. Appreciate that the glass failed in its assassination attempt. Sometimes the universe takes a little more beer than seems fair. Let it. Be positive. And like all great Greek heroes, I escaped with my life, my dignity... slightly less beer than I was owed. Let this be a life lesson, Evan. I

    This is our new "go to" lunch spot. I LOVE this place. They also offer specials from time to time…read moreand have all you can eat crab legs on Thursdays (I want to say that's around $40, but not positive). I've been 3 or 4 times so far. We went for the $17.76 special that was a 4th of July special. It was $17.76 for a lobster, crab legs, shrimp and corn and potatoes. It was delicious, and a steal for that price. We went at lunch time, so had no issues with them being out of it. They recently offered a $22, 2 lobster special (no sides). I tried to get reservations for that one, but they were ran out of reservations quickly and I didn't want to have to wait in a long line to eat. They offer these great specials with some frequency. If you go around lunch time, they have a Lakeside Lites menu (I'm pretty sure it's only lunchtime and only mon-fri), but they have nicely portioned lunches at a great price. My husband loves the 4oz. burger and fries ($8.99) and I usually get either the fish or shrimp tacos with fries. Most of the items on that menu are under $10 and perfectly portioned for lunch. If you sit outside, the view is amazing of the lake. They have several overhead fans running, so even if it's hot, it's still worth sitting outside. My daughter had the lunch fish and chips and really enjoyed that also. If you're looking for a reasonably priced lunch with a fantastic view and great staff, then this is your spot. I haven't been for dinner yet, as their lunches are just so good. We'll be back again.

    Nice place. Good eats…read more Stopped to see if lobster was on the menu. Yup. We first ordered the steamed shrimp appetizer. They were a pretty nice size and quite tasty. Our mistake was then ordering a dozen raw oysters. Our server told us they were fresh and a nice size. No they weren't. Teeny tiny minuscule remnants of something. Thankfully we caught their HH special and only wasted $9.95 for those dozen empty oyster shells. Don't order those again. Our lobster choices were the warm lobster roll with drawn butter and the macaroni & lobster main course. Both had plenty of lobster and were nicely prepared. Well done. For the most part we enjoyed our meal. But selling those empty shells as fresh raw oysters is criminal. They should be immediately taken off the menu.
