    Million dollar bacon
    Jennifer B.

    Excellent lemon ricotta pancake but the million dollar bacon is the real winner. Omelet and toast were fine. Maui Sunshine is a must have

    I come here when I can with my husband. We enjoy the place excellent service nice atmosphere and of course as Hindu vegetarians we find lots of options thank you so much. The grits are out of this world and the pancakes are fantastic as well

    The food is consistently good, love & appreciate their glutenfree options. We always feel like this location is a small restaurant even though owned by a larger company. Service was outstanding even though they were short staffed. One server for the entire restaurant and he nailed it! We enjoy the decor, country chic. It's clean and new with antique items on the wall for that farm house feel.

    Elevated Egg Sandwich with seasoned potatoes
    Aubrey F.

    Came here on a Saturday morning. It was busy and we waited approximately 20 minute for a table for 3. We were seated outside on the patio. The menu had several tasty options so it was hard to choose. I ordered the Elevated Egg Sandwich with seasoned potatoes. The sandwich is bacon and an over-easy cage-free egg, Gruyere cheese, fresh smashed avocado, mayo and lemon-dressed arugula on a brioche bun. This was very good.

    The first thing nice I have to say... This was the nicest First Watch I've ever been in. First Watch has been around for a long time. Most of these restaurants look like they've been around for a long time. This restaurant was very clean, stylish, and just new looking. They're famous for really big pancakes. If I remember correctly... The really big pancakes are pretty bland and kind of boring. Thankfully, today they had a special with pumpkin pancakes. There's only one word for this... Delicious. This was like eating pumpkin pie in pancake form. It was absolutely wonderful. They also had a special for some fancy bacon. It was six dollars for bacon. Sadly, they forgot to deliver the bacon and I never got it. So, I can't give this five out of five stars... But it's a solidfour. Good food this time around, clean and pleasant restaurant, and the staff is always very attentive. I might have to go back for the bacon one of these days.

    We've loved First Watch on our first day, and we've loved them every single day since then! The staff, the food, the coffee, the atmosphere... everything is wonderful! It's our favorite brunch spot!

    I love their innovative approach to breakfast, not the old eggs/bacon things. Fun breakfast cocktails and excellent service!

This place demands attention from the moment you walk in. My wife opted for eggs and bacon, while I went for the cheeseburger. We also shared a French toast, which proved to be the standout dish. It's important to note that this was a shared experience, as we barely managed to finish our portion. The menu offers a brunch selection that's worth exploring. Be prepared to savor every bite, as the food quality here is commendable. Service and flow are both excellent , ensuring a pleasant dining experience. While the ambiance is a highlight, it's the food that truly shines. I'm planning to return for another visit.

    Great experience with a twist!…read more Food 8.0 Vibe 8.9 Service 8.7 Overall 8.4 This place definitely has his own theme and vibe and it sticks to it. A straightforward menu gives a decent variety and the chef delivered on the flavor. We had the egg Benedict the Gudda grits, and the (not so) French toast. Overall, the food was delicious, but I was extremely disappointed with the "French toast" for some reason, the chef opted for not doing an egg/milk bath for their French toast, which to me is a grave mistake, who wants to dry French toast? This liberty could be excused, and tolerable for the sake of creativity and innovation, IF it was openly, shared on the menu, or by the server. However, this came to a COMPLETE surprise to me AFTER ordering and receiving it. I've never had DRY French toast, nor do I ever wish to again despite the tasty toppings and well executed cinnamon butter cream, it was still not an enjoyable experience, especially if you're expecting classic French toast. That said the eggs Benedict was phenomenal. The pork is perfectly cooked. The biscuits are light and fluffy. And the sauce was immaculate. The Gudda grits surprise me while not being creamy in the same way of grit, I've had in the past, these retained their grit structure, but it kind of melted in your mouth, providing that creamy texture and they add chopped bacon and a sweet I would guess type of reduction in just the right amount to balance the flavor of the Gudda. I do wish they had sausage and hash browns. But it's not that kind of place. My last complaint would be in the potatoes that come with the Benedict. Whatever other option, they have picked those get anything, but those ours came undercooked, and they refried them for us, and they still were just below average which for a place like this. I expected more. Overall, not a bad place. The coffee was phenomenal. I had a dirty Matcha, and it was perfectly executed. Prices aren't terrible for what you'd expect from downtown St Pete at a fancy place, so I was happy. Service was good and friendly. After I expressed my dissatisfaction with the French toast, the manager came over and offered his apologies and remove the item from my bill, even offered to bring us something else, and to have a beverage to go to make up for it. However, I was at the end of our mail and I was ready to get going with the rest of my day, so I said thank you and we departed. Overall, I will not come back for French toast but that eggs Benedict. I would definitely come back and try something else as well. Give it a shot. Just DONT get the French toast. If you like normal French toast.

    This was my first trip to Allelo, a Mediterranean-Aegean restaurant…read more I was in town for business and arrived solo. I was greeted by Carolina, a very confident and friendly hostess. I told her I wanted to sit outside so I could have dinner and read a book with a glass of wine. She told me it would be about 20 minutes and suggested I go to the bar. Once inside, I was greeted by Corey, who entertained me with a vibrant wine list and a quick tasting before selecting a crisp Sauvignon Blanc. As my wine was being poured in a delightfully elegant wine glass... Carolina told me my table was ready. They put me in the perfect spot for people watching. My server was Rachel, who shared the night's special offerings with great aplomb. I am not usually a Wagyu person, but I thought why not, yolo. I paired it with the cauliflower. But to kick things off,..I did the focaccia. The meal was so superb. I immediately texted a friend of mine and said we had to come back the following evening. Again with the Wagyu and the focaccia. Sue me, I'm a glutton for delight. My friend had the seafood linguine.... Which in keeping with the theme was exemplary. Our server for night two was Kyle... Who anticipated I ever need. We had a variety of martinis and ended the evening with a fancy coffee that included a rock sugar spoon. This is my new go to when I visit St. Petersburg. And did I mention Rachel gave me an awesome book recommendation? Thanks girl! If you're looking for somewhere really cool to go for curated cocktails, and exceptional food...This is the place.

    Restaurant in downtown St Petersburg great location lots of energy great service indoor and outdoor…read moretables and a nice bar. Now let's talk about the food: It was not all fantastic. The appetizers: Tuna tartare was nothing special it also didn't come with any bread or chip just plop on the plate. The goat cheese appetizer special was a small circle with oily crusted bread. One main course was 1/2 rack of lamb cooked perfectly and nice portion, Za'atar cauliflower nice portion didn't taste like Za'atar. Pasta dish had to add black pepper was ok. I must say the cucumber vodka soda spritzer was super refreshing!! The service was great, atmosphere, they really tried but must of had an off kitchen night. We were also disappointed items on the website were not available.
