    The food was amazing. I had the new French toast tres leches it was so good the strawberry's tasted fresh with great flavors. I don't know what the crunchy bits were but they were very good. I raised someone in my groups potatoes and they were to die for so good. The server was very nice and quick too. The ambiance was great there was great sun light and very comfortable seating. I would highly recommend this very vegetarian friendly restaurant.

    I liked the modern farm house ambience at First Watch. The food also exceeded my expectation. I had Tri-fecta with million dollar bacon and it was delicious. I am not a waffle person but this waffle was special - fluffy in the middle and slight crusty on the side and it somehow had a hint of savory taste. I also enjoyed the kale juice. Would love to come back if I happen to be in town again

    We had breakfast here during our short vacation and i would come back here any time. The place was pretty busy on Sunday. Its hard for me to find breakfast places i would say i like, as i eat healthy, but this was one of those restaurants where i would happily return for a brunch. They have different kind of fresh squezed juices. We started with a bacon appetizer, it was amazing! I had avocado-egg toast which was so delicious.. We also ordered pancakes with fruit, big portion, fresh and tasty. We really enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere, our serves was very kind as well.

    Pretty good standard American breakfast food. We didn't have anything that blew our minds but it was all very substantial and good portions, our son loved the strawberry French toast. The vibes are chill and like a modern diner but not dated feeling. Our server was awesome and super friendly. Great location for a quick breakfast.

    Blueberry pancake with chicken sausage

    Stopped in for a late brunch close to 2p. No wait. We started with the bacon. I ordered the pumpkin pancake breakfast and my son did the breakfast tacos. They ran out of chicken sausage by then so I did bacon with my pancakes. Good came out quickly. I enjoyed my pancake and the tacos were good. Service was ok. First watch is one of our last minute breakfast preferences.

    First time visiting this First Watch location in Orlando. I've been to several others near home, but this was my first time here, and the experience was just as great as always. I ordered one of my usual dishes, and as expected, the flavor and quality did not disappoint. This time, we decided to try something from the seasonal menu: the Steak and Eggs Hash, which was delicious. We also revisited some of our all-time favorites, like the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes (a perfect choice if you pair them with bacon and eggs) and the Chickichanga, which is consistently amazing. I also tried the Red Medicine juice from the holiday menu for the first time, and it was incredible! First Watch continues to be a reliable choice for brunch and breakfast.

    Been to this location many times. Began visiting their new one by Kirkman Rd (Grand National) and had a terrible experience with service. Mr. Rucker made it right for my family. I came back to the location that never disappoints, Dr. Phillips (Sand Lake) The service is always great, nice area, welcoming staff. The restrooms are a bit rough. There is profanity vandalism in the men's restroom, and it was out of paper towels. Despite being super busy they always keep a smile and positive attitude. Our food was great as always.

    Put in a to-go order for the morning of Mothers Day, I know and expect them to be extremely busy. I had no problem with my food being all there and ready when I got to the restaurant but my eggs were over cooked and busted. I ordered sunny side up eggs with breakfast potatoes, bacon and sourdough bread. It tasted amazing just wish the eggs were cooked better.

    Floridian French Toast

    Food and service were good. I have visited first watch in the past and it was a nice experience. Affordable prices. It took some time to get the food but the place was busy as well. We went with our dog and we sit outside so it was nice.

    Prices have gone up quite a bit since I first tried this place a few years ago and it has also gotten a lot busier so I don't go as much, but it is still great.

    Went here on a Wednesday morning. Was quickly seated (got outdoor seating). All of the employees were nice and welcoming. They had a lot of food options to pick from. I got the Floridian French toast which tasted great. They also have a separate kids meal- one of the choices was chocolate chip pancake which was actually quite large.

    Very friendly service, the coffee is fantastic- such a wonderful change from the coffee we are usually served at a breakfast place. The food was also delicious.

    Get on the wait list and offer to sit outside, that will help with the wait. We sat outside but then had to wait 20 minutes (two requests) for a waiter. Our food kept going to other tables. They are super busy and I am sure some days that works out better than others. Food was good, but cold, definitely had been sitting somewhere other than our table for a bit!

Luckily, after calling them, they were able to reserve me a seat at 8:30pm. I wanted to go to PBR first before dinner, but they were not open yet. When I checked in to Hampton Social around 7:30 just to confirm my reservation, they are actually able to seat me immediately. I tried their Sand and Smoke drink (17 dollars), which was their take of the old fashioned. It was a much stronger drink than I expected, with the bourbon being wonderful. Definitely put me in happyland, even after finishing dinner. I took the shrimp tacos for dinner (27 dollars), and there were three tacos with plump shrimp, jalapenos, salsa, slaw, and spicy sauce. I enjoyed every bite since the shrimp and veggies were fresh, and the sauce was spicy! It was definitely a legit taco, and even better than some of the other taco restaurants I go to. I really loved it. For dessert, I could not resist the banana cream pie (15 dollars), which was quite huge and plentiful. I savored the bananas, whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and even the waffle. It was that good, and it was large enough to take home. When I took it home, my mom even loved it and took a lot. If it wasn't 15 bucks, I would have bought another one. The service was wonderful, and my server took great care of me. Paying by Inkind was very easy and I was able to take advantage of the promotion as well. The atmosphere is upscale, but I might have missed the live music if there was anything offered that day. As I mentioned in my previous review, it's definitely a more expensive restaurant than The American Social. But it is more upscale and has better food. If you download the Inkind app and get a promotion, definitely use it here. Unfortunately, they don't validate parking here, but it's definitely worth visiting Pointe Orlando to eat here. Overall: A

The happy hour specials are definitely worth taking advantage of. For food, we tried the buffalo cauliflower, truffle fries, and the Wagyu beef taco. Everything was very good. The taco is more of a creative twist--it's essentially a hamburger-style patty served in a taco shell, topped with pickles, lettuce, and aïoli. The buffalo cauliflower was nicely prepared with a drizzle of aïoli, and the truffle fries came with a flavorful dipping sauce. Drink specials were also appealing, with select canned beers priced at $6 and house wines at $9. One thing to note is that an automatic 18% gratuity is added to all checks, which the restaurant explains helps support staff during the off-season. The ambiance stood out--upscale, clean, and fresh, with a relaxed open-air vibe. It wasn't overly busy on a Wednesday around 4 PM, which made for a very enjoyable and comfortable experience. Overall, a great spot with a lively yet laid-back atmosphere.

    Overall, I really enjoyed our meal here…read more Just a heads up this place is loud so this is not the restaurant you want to have an intimate conversation. However, it is quite fun, when we got there on a Saturday night, they were having a Taylor Swift look alike performance. I absolutely loved it. It turned out it was happening every hour so we were able to watch her perform twice. They also had someone selling jewelry and an artist painting, overall it is such a fun vibe. If you want a standard table, you need to make a reservation, I made a reservation like 15 minutes before and they only had outdoor seating and high tops available. We chose a high top and it was fine. They do have a kids menu so my son was able to order a cheese pizza with a side of fries and the other one ordered a chicken quesadilla with a side of fruit. On the kids menu it says cheese quesadilla but he really wanted chicken, I was surprised the chicken was a bit spicy. He ate a couple bites and then asked for his own cheese pizza after seeing his brothers. All the plates are meant to be shared so they come out whenever they're ready. My older son's cheese pizza came out immediately and then my younger son's chicken quesadilla came out after all our food had been delivered. I think this is what made him want a cheese pizza because he didn't have his own meal for majority of the time we were eating. When we finally ordered his cheese pizza it then took a long time to come out. I'm guessing it's because it's woodfired and his pizza was behind a ton of other pizzas whereas with my older son we must've ordered at a good time. My absolute favorite dish was the marinated cucumbers. It was a light and delicious. It reminds me of what I find at a Japanese restaurant. I also got the butter chicken, it was OK. I didn't find the chicken super tender so I would skip it next time. We also got the maple glazed chicken wings. I found the breading to be overly salty. I ended up taking off all of the breading and my younger son ate a ton of the chicken. I would skip it next time. We got the steak skewers, which were pretty delicious. Again didn't love it so probably would get something else next time. My husband did not like his ribs so he definitely should skip that next time. So overall, the food was OK, but my kids absolutely destroyed their pizza and I love the atmosphere, which is why I'm giving this place four stars. I see that it has great potential. If parking is a problem, I recommend parking at icon park and walking because it's about five minutes away. Our server was super nice, she was a bit slow, but she also had a giant table next to us, which could've contributed to that. I would definitely come back. I enjoyed our experience here.

I couldn't tell what was what, but I remember the croquetas being super delicious! Definitely worth it on a hungry stomach. I ordered the Ropa Vieja for my entree. It was very good (especially the plantains/maduros), but I was already very full and probably should have ordered something lighter in hindsight. The highlight of the night was definitely dessert. It was my aunt's birthday, and they greeted her with a huge bowl of ice cream and a show. I won't spoil it, but if you have a birthday, Cuba Libre will definitely make you feel celebrated.
