    The food service and ambiance is always the best. I came to use my birthday BOGO! We had the Double Bacon Parmesan Hash w/ artisan toast. Ma had the Bloody Mary and I had the tequila sunrise! First Watch has been one of my favorite brunch spots for years.

    First watch, never fails to let us down, no matter the location. Always consistent service consistent food and we always leave happy and full! Some of the best coffee you can have at a restaurant. A huge variety of delicious treats for breakfast/lunch you won't be disappointed.

    They emailed me a BOGO coupon so obviously we had to go! We were quickly seated and given menus, the new fall menu items looked really tasty. My partner ordered the Honey Chipotle Chicken Mash from the fall menu and I ordered the Chickichanga. The chipotle chicken mash was tasty, I didn't care for the lemon sauce on top of my dish. I love lemon unfortunately I felt like the sauce took over. My favorite breakfast, well no but it's solid and they have a large menu making it easy for everyone to find something they like. Service was good as well!

    Went on a Thursday morning and they had availability. Lots of seats inside. Plenty of parking in their own parking lot. Staff was friendly and attentive. Really enjoyed the carne asada breakfast tacos from their seasonal menu.

    Please see attached. We had an awful experience with our steak and eggs orders for my son and I. Don't order.

    This is a great place for a simple delicious meal with family, friends or just by yourself. I recommend a Morning Meditation drink with your meal.

    Good and always consistent! You'll always get a slightly elevated breakfast experience here, and the food is always of quality, fresh, and very well presented. The staff here are very friendly, quick, and caring. The ambiance is very modern, and pretty averaged sized in scale to other brunch restaurants!

    The Traditional Breakfast no meat

    Always my fave. Good service great food. Have not gone to any that has fallen short. The ambiance is on point. Early morning gather with a few friends or just a solo trip still the best

    First Watch is a well executed and enjoyable breakfast and lunch spot! Everyone at First Watch seems happy to be working there, which is always a good sign. They have a huge selection of items on the menu. The orders come out quickly and are prepared consistently. My favorite dishes are the omelettes. The omelettes are served with a small salad and toast. This option makes me happy to have a more healthy meal and fewer calories. The meals are very reasonably priced for a restaurant with table service. My goal is to try every omelette on the menu! There is plenty of free parking surrounding the restaurant. The entrance is very obviously located near the street with the host station just inside the entrance. They can get busy so I do recommend downloading there mobile app to get a place in line before you arrive. Be sure to sign up online so you can get discount offers. A few times during the year they offer discount gift cards as well.

    See, the thing with First Watch is that I know because I can see the containers in their kitchen, that most of their staples come out of a can or a box. I mean the juice is not freshly squeezed, the veggies might be prepackaged, and so on. But the deal is that I don't have the time nor the inclination to crack my own eggs and have to clean the kitchen and dishes afterward, so I get an even exchange here, I pay for time and convenience. The food is just an amenity. We appreciate the good service.

    Daughter chose French Toast which was generous portion and delicious
    Herman P.

    Took the family and my 3 kids to First watch for Sunday "Brunch." We use to live in St Louis and always loved going for the delicious food, great service and always busy which is a good sign. My kids had pancakes and French toast. My wife and I ate the healthy options; egg white omelette and skillet item. Large portions and was hot when served. We were under no rush and enjoyed our time since my daughter was visiting us from St Louis. We've also tried the First on Breckenridge Lane and that one is more busy due to its highly traffic area.

    Ask the Community - First Watch

    Have they opened an outdoor seating area at the Highlands location?

    I don't want to tell you something wrong but they had tables set up in the parking lot. I was there a couple of weeks ago and I paid absolutely no attention to whether or not it was still there.

    How long is your average visit? From arrival to departure?

    It really depends on when you arrive. If there's a long wait before you're seated and they're busy, you could be there 2 - 2.5 hours. If there's no wait, you could be in and out in an hour or less.

    Does this place have outside seating?

    No!

I was able to ask questions on the Open table app about reservation and options available at such a later dinner time. They said everything would be available except when we got there the branzino wasn't available which was fine, we didn't want it anyways. Our server Colton was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable of the menu drinks and what was available. We did end up ordering some drinks. The Gazoz (nonalcoholic) & CSA sour both great and the flavors were very pleasing. We already browsed at the menu beforehand so we went in knowing we were going to get the Shefha, I let the birthday boy make the picks we got the crispy cauliflower and og hummus with the lamb and kept everything else as is and of course we got the included dessert plus a knafeh for the birthday boy. I don't want to spoil anything, but the food was exceptional! There was no crumbs left from us, we devoured everything that was brought out. We loved all the flavors profiles and the timing of each dish was perfect. We never felt rushed or overwhelmed. Colton was excellent throughout the entire meal, checking in on us and the rest of the servers who brought out the dishes were excellent at explaining the dishes to us. Our water cups were never empty and the vibes were so relaxed and casual. We will definitely be back because we fell in love with a few dishes that we can't stop thinking about and will have to come back. Definitely for the chocolate babka! I got some to go because I don't think I could have waited for the next time.

While the…read morepresentation was incredible, I found the food itself to be fairly average and perhaps a little overhyped. Our reservation was at 8:45 p.m., and the staff made us feel rushed to order and finish our meal. I understand that the kitchen and restaurant need to close, but reservations should not be offered that late if guests cannot enjoy the full dining experience without feeling rushed.

For one thing, living in the Louisville area we are blessed with great local produce for much of the year, and it's fun to load up the refrigerator with fresh things. But local tastes are also evident in the proliferation of burger and chicken joints, with no shortage of fried foods as well as bakeries and pastry shops specializing in butter, sugar, and fat. Even our vegetarian restaurants tilt in the direction of unhealthy pleasures. Green District bucks that trend in a good way. You really have to go out of your way here not to have a well-balanced meal. Most of their dishes are veggie-focused, but they also tend to have added proteins. And better still, if you're missing your carbs, you can make your dish a grain bowl -- and if you want it to go, the wrap is a good option. Portions are generous and at a reasonable price point. I know Green District is hardly unique in that it's a modern fast-casual salad chain, and in a lot of ways it's the all-American story: Fast casual chain opens with some success; concept is expanded and many locations are announced; at some point they file for bankruptcy; private equity gets involved; chain retracts. The restaurant world is a crazy business. Wall Street hiccups and we go on eating somehow. But Green District is at least still a local chain, and they do seem to serve up a good menu. I'll keep coming here as long as the food is good.
