    I love first watch and this is my first time at this location. Usually first watches are already really busy and Father's Day wasn't too busy. I believe the way it was 30 minutes, but this location could not take the heat. They do not work as a team here, they have really big attitudes but at lease the food is good.

    1st time customer. Arrived and was seated right away. The farmhouse vibe was very well done. The restaurant was clean. They were very busy, by the time we left there was a line and a wait. They offered a carafe of coffee and water for the table which I loved and it makes it easier on the staff. Food came out quickly and hot! Highly recommend you to give it a try!

    One of my fav breakfast meals , more one the light and healthy side but very tasty and filling 10/10 for me i could eat this everyday

    Girls day out which began with breakfast! Love us some First Watch! We were headed in the WC area so went to Yelp to find a place to eat. This location is very clean and all staff was super friendly. Walked in and seated immediately. Service right away and food out in no time. Daughter and I both got the biscuits and gravy with sunny side up egg. It was delicious! And the fruit that I got was fresh and delightful. Plenty of parking and easy entrance and exit.

    I had breakfast and visited 4 times this place. I visited at 7 am. 8 am, 9 am, 11am. Always have people, so I think is telling something. Price and food, food overall is good, I'm not sure why people gave so low rating, for me is strange. Because overall experience I had was great, service is good, fast, quality of food is great. I liked their options. My wife, my kid, my friend liked this place. I added one photo don't have more. All was polite. Option to pay with qr from phone is pretty easy. Inside atmosphere is really great. Recommend this place. But only one thing, they close early, hopefully they work till night

    Happy to have a new First Watch in Wesley Chapel. I like to come here when I can during the week. It's nice and spacious at that time and I can't imagine how busy it can be during the weekend. I'm pretty sure there's a huge echo from everyone during the weekend when it is busy. They have booths, tables, inside and outside seating, and a bar which is a new addition in the newer First Watch locations. They also have an outside patio here. The sun faces it during breakfast. There is a cover over the patio but the sun shines directly to it. I do like their food here and whenever possible, if the seasonal menu sounds good to me, I opt for that. I have been to this location twice and I had a seasonal entree and then a regular entree which was the salmon benedict. Both were great. Their juices are great too and I've tried their morning meditation and had other juices they have had at other locations. My husband likes their Parma hash. It's a skillet with Italian sausage. This is not on their menu anymore, but they still make it when we ask for it. The hostesses are great and cheery, but both times we have gone the service with our servers have not been great. We do like the breakfast here when we visit, and it's convenient, new, & clean. Hopefully we will find a fave waitress soon, & stick with them when possible.

    2 FOR YOU Enjoy a half sandwich, half salad or a cup of soup.

    Extremely disappointing food and service experience on our anniversary dinner at Coopers Hawk in…read moreWesley Chapel. My wife and I were looking forward to our 1st dining experience at Coopers Hawk for our 31st anniversary. Unfortunately both the food and service were extremely disappointing. My wife ordered the filet mignon: 8 oz. Filet, Steak Butter, Crispy Onion Strings, Grilled Broccoli, Choice of Side 46.99 and I ordered Ellie's chicken piccata Lemon Butter Caper Sauce, Capellini Pasta 26.99 We both ordered glasses of wine with the meal - my wife ordered a red wine and I ordered the white wine they recommended to pair with the chicken piccata Neither wine came before our meal. When our meal was brought, there was still no wine yet. The server who brought our meals to the table asked if there was anything else we needed and I said-yes-the wine we ordered to come with our meal. 15 minutes later after after meals were brought--still no wine This is unacceptable at any restaurant-but for an establishment such as Coopers Hawk that centers everything around their wines this is ridiculous. When the wine was finally brought over 15 minutes later after our meals were brought they actually still forgot to bring my wife her wine and only brought mine. I told the server that it was too late and we did not need it anymore. The server clearly saw when she brought the wine that we were well finished with our meals already but did not offer any apology up-front and only after I said that "its too late" did she offer to take the wine off the bill. She did offer that she could still bring my wife's wine out and still take it off the bill and also offered to let me keep my wine and also take it off the bill but the damage had already been done at that point as it was over 15 minutes since we received our meals Now onto the food itself-very disappointing. Although my wife's steak was cooked perfectly as far as the inside of the steak-the steak itself had little to no seasoning and had no char on the outside. Outside of those 2 things - the quality of the meat itself was also disappointing. To give you an idea - the quality of the filet itself was less than the filet you would get at a Longhorn's steak restaurant which charges about 29.00 compared to $46.99 here - so you would expect at the very least it would at least be equal (or should be better) quality beef than Longhorns but unfortunately it was worse. The Chicken Picatta on the menu clearly says "Lemon Butter Caper Sauce" there were plenty of capers on the plate but outside of 2 lemons wedges on the plate for show there was absolutely no lemon flavor whatsoever in the dish. The chicken was cooked very well and was juicy but there was virtually no seasoning on the chicken at all and there was zero (0) lemon flavor. So again extremely disappointing. The restaurant is upscale and very nice looking and has a vibrant social atmosphere but when the service is bad, the wine doesn't come with the meal (and that is the theme of the restaurant-the wine), and the food is this disappointing it all adds up to a very bad experience which unfortunately also occurred on our special occasion-our wedding anniversary

    Title: Disappointing birthday dinner; didn't live up to the hype…read more We visited Rare 1981 for the first time to celebrate my aunt's birthday, drawn in by reviews comparing it to nice restaurants in downtown Tampa. While the drive through the community was pleasant, the arrival process was confusing. The restaurant is tucked away in the back with zero signage, and we actually left the check-in line thinking we were in the wrong place, only to have to loop back for valet. The atmosphere felt more like a generic wedding venue or clubhouse than a high-end restaurant. While the staff was pleasant and the complimentary birthday dessert was a nice touch, the food was a major letdown. Two guests ordered Mahi Mahi that arrived incredibly dry and one ordered a Ribeye that was overcooked. My wife and I ordered Filets (medium and medium-rare), but both were significantly undercooked--the medium was essentially raw. We made the best of it thanks to the wine we brought ($25 corkage fee), but at $140 per person, the value just wasn't there. We didn't complain at the time because we knew we wouldn't be returning. If you're looking for a true premier steakhouse experience, this isn't it.

I almost asked for more to do shots! Then the pizza came and even though I ate all the wings, I ate all but two slices of pizza! Man that was good... the crust was perfect, the cup and char pepperoni was done nicely, and the flavor was spot on. I loved it and it was worth it for sure. They had full meals (chicken parm and other pasta dishes) and other lighter options too (salads). They also had the non-traditional pizzas with things like mortadella and arugula too. So more than likely, something for everyone (including a Vegan pizza). Service was spectacular with the waitress stopping by numerous times to refill my half-off wine (Wednsdays IYKYK) and water and soda and just checking if I needed anything.

The green onion garnish was a plus. It was better than what I found at many dedicated Japanese or Korean restaurants. The portion was generous; I had leftover to take home for lunch the next day. I downloaded their app ahead of time, which scored me a free slice of cheesecake- large, indulgent, and absolutely delicious. I liked the complimentary bread. The black loaf was my personal favorite.

Their food was delicious back then. It's still awesome now. And after this visit, it's easy to see why it continues to thrive.
