    Philly Omlette
    Karina R.

    Table for 4 on a Sunday afternoon with no reservation and luckily the wait was only about 20 mins. We were seated outside in their front patio, overall space is pretty big as I noticed later on that they even have seating in the back and inside too. After having been seated, it took quite some time to get our food. Staff nonetheless were nice but a little slow to bring over requests (ie napkins). I ordered a Bloody Mary - 2/5. Tall cup but I felt like there was very little inside. Overall taste was nothing out of this world, very bland as was the garnish. For food I ordered the Philly Omlette - 2/5. The meat was so dry and lacked any seasoning! Disappointing - salsa was the only thing that saved it and ketchup for my potatoes. Of which, the potatoes were OK. Portion is huge, I definitely could have shared with 1 other person. Overall my experience was OK. Not to be my first choice for a future brunch spot in the area.

    Well, what did I say about this place. I was in the area and was hungry. My daughter and I were looking for places to eat breakfast. We stumbled upon this little gem. Is small. It's cute and it has a vibe that matches downtown Livermore. If you're hungry and have time definitely check this place out you won't be disappointed. I am pretty sure this place gets super busy on the weekends and parking is a little tough.

    First time at Mornings for breakfast. It was a bit cool on a Friday morning so we decided to sit inside. One table was available and they took our order for drinks right away. The Mrs. ordered hot chocolate and I orange juice and coffee. The orange juice was disappointing as I expected freshly squeezed but clearly it was not. The hot chocolate and coffee serving was large and hot. My wife ordered an avocado toast and scrambled egg. To her surprise it also came with a side salad with fresh strawberries and vinegar dressing. She really enjoyed everything. I ordered Joes Scramble with country potatoes. The serving was plentiful and tasty. I was surprised as the potatoes were not homemade but tasty. The dining room was nicely decorated but noise level was pretty loud. The service is spot on with check ins and coffee refill. The food is plentiful, hot and tasty. Next time we hope to sit outside to enjoy the downtown hustle and bustle.

    All American Breakfast

    First time visiting Mornings On First for a belated Mother's Day breakfast. We were promptly seated and offered either indoor or outdoor dining. We opted for outdoors since it was a nice day. I got the All American Breakfast with egg whites and bacon and cold brew to drink. My son got the French toast breakfast. Order came out in about 20 minutes. Everything was delicious but the bacon was a standout as it was extra crispy and amazing!!! Generous portions so I was stuffed when finished. I saw a lot more on the menu that I want to try so I'll be back!

    Went on a sunday with about 30-35mins wait and once the table is ready will received a text. It has been 45mins and haven't not received text yet, so went in the front desk and asked how long more to wait and was told we're still 2nd in line, but the girl said they sit us now, and we got seated on the back area. We saw tables that are open, hmmm ok why it took so long. Anyway, so we ordered our food but we still waited for about 20mins for our food to arrive. We ordered Ohana Pancake, Grand Prix from the kid's menu, and Waffle Royale. The Ohana Pancake was good but not great, and the Waffle Royale my husband said it was a bit hard and only ok. The staffs are friendly.

    We came on a Saturday morning and we got sat immediately. They have a front patio and back patio along with inside seating. They had a variety of drinks and food to choose from. We got the cookies and cream cold brew and the tiramisu latte and both were good! For food we got the chicken fried steak and the french dip with provolone cheese and both were very good.

    Kid and dog friendly brunch spot. Came by at 11am on a Saturday with my mom and infant and grabbed a shaded table on their front patio. Their front patio overlooks main Street and is a great spot to people watch on the weekend. Our server was friendly, efficient and gave recommendations when asked. I ordered the sunrise sandwich with country potatoes and a latte and everything was yummy and thoughtfully prepared. Servings are quite generous too! I will definitely return and especially recommend for anyone dining out with your fur ptr human baby!

    Cute outdoor patio dining.

    I came here to Mornings on First on a Friday morning and we opted for outdoor seating since we brought our dogs. Such a cute and comfortable dining space on a beautiful February morning. Service was swift and friendly from beginning to end. The menu was not overly large, but you are bound to find a couple of items that intrigue you. My friend and I decided to share as we normally do two dishes - the Mushroom Market toast and the Dad's French toast. Prices are average for the area, but definitely breakfast prices are climbing anywhere you go in the Tri-Valley. Our food came out not long after we placed our order. Our server continued to be very helpful with all of our requests including getting side dishes and additional condiments. Flavors were good, however, the bread for the mushroom toast seemed a bit stale. Other than that, the ambiance truly won me over. This is definitely worth a try!

    Stew's special
    Hannah K.

    Mornings on First wouldn't be my first brunch spot in Downtown Livermore, but they ended up having no wait on a Sunday mid morning so we decided to try it! We ordered the Stew's Special (French toast, 2 eggs, and choice of meat) along with biscuits and gravy. The order took longer than expected to come out. Our favorite part of the order was the pork sausages, but I wouldn't come for the French toast as there are other spots nearby that do it better. Overall the service and experience were good but I still stand by my statement that this wouldn't be my first choice for brunch in the area. Their outdoor seating out front looked cute though if you are looking for a patio brunch experience!

    My sister and I have shared their Ohana Pancakes a few times now, and we still salivate when we talk or text about them. Pineapple, coconut, and macadamia cream sauce over perfectly cooked pancakes makes this a 11/10. Definitely our favorite and what brings us back. We've also tried their Breakfast Tacos (8.5/10) country fried steak breakfast (10/10) and club sandwich (10/10). It looks small when you first walk in, but there's plenty of seating in their back patio. Service is always friendly and their coffee is great too.

    Came on a Saturday brunch time. Very busy but was able to get a table outdoors in front. I did get a look inside after I ordered to use the bathroom and saw a back door that had more outdoor seating. Inside seemed compact while the outdoor seating was more airy on a sunny day. Food was good but I very much enjoyed the coffee flight. My wait wasn't long. I ate half and took the rest home. I finished the coffee flight though. The server was ok. I didn't like that the payment was given the choice of 18, 20, 25% it just makes me feel like I'm forced to choose a high % when the service didn't feel like that was the % they deserved. It's not like the old dine in experience where they leave the receipt for signature and the tip amount and I could have chilled for awhile but since I already paid it's almost like I felt rushed out. Would like to return again with a guest and get the coffee flight again or try other drinks Parking was hard to find but I was lucky to find a disabled parking spot a walking distance away.

    This was my second time here, and I don't think I'll be returning. I only came back because a friend wanted to try it out. The restaurant wasn't busy, but it took a long time just to get water. I noticed several staff chatting and standing around behind the bar, yet no one brought cups until I eventually had to ask. Not a great impression. We were a group of 4. When our food finally came, my friend's order was wrong. The runner went to get our server, and when my friend explained the mistake, the server got defensive and insisted, "No, I even confirmed it with you." That wasn't true. She had confirmed the orders of the other 2 in our group, but not my friend's. I spoke up to back my friend since I clearly heard her order and told the server I heard what my friend said and she didn't order that dish she got. More than anything, it was the server's tone that surprised me instead of just correcting the mistake. Since the food had already taken so long, my friend considered just accepting the wrong dish. But the server said she'd have it remade, which only made my friend uneasy. She worried about how the replacement would be handled. When the new plate came out, she even smelled the new plate before eating, which says a lot about the trust that was lost, and it was also the server's attitude that didn't help. To make things worse, when the bill came, we were still charged for the wrong dish. Thankfully, I caught it before paying. Another friend at the table who ordered the omelet said it wasn't good and described it as tasting like a "wet rag." Overall, between the inattentive staff, defensive service, order mistakes, and disappointing food, I wouldn't come back.

    Chicken and Waffles

    Kudos to my ex-wife for recommending this establishment. We spent the morning at the Apple Store upgrading our phones and were starving for some breakfast after two plus hours at Apple Store. Shout out to Pepe for his great customer service too. We were seated immediately which was great for a busy weekend. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside patio area. My ex and I had chicken and waffles and my daughter and her boyfriend had the hot honey chicken sandwich and sunrise sandwich. Everyone was pretty happy with their meals. Great atmosphere for any occasion.

    Quite certain it might be the most expensive breakfast in Livermore, but their food is really good…read more Massive, and I mean MASSIVE portions of breakfast staples cooked with a deft touch.

Now, that being said, if you're lucky enough to snag a seat at their six seat bar on the left side when you walk in, that's first come first served and they offer the full menu there.

For food, we ordered the BLT and the bacon cheeseburger. Both were delicious and came with fries. Overall, great food, great drinks, and great service. We'll definitely be back!

The dinners are always particularly outstanding, the service is extremely attentive in a very gentle and earnest way you only get from a close-knit family business, and the food is just consistently good. Tonight we went with my father in law who is in town visiting - who asked to come back (he went here with us before), and he got the steak again. I got the wagyu burger (I said yes to bacon!) and my stepdaughter got the smash burger, and we both basically polished them off. Instead of a fries I got a side salad - which wasn't an afterthought either - crisp spring mix lettuce, tomatoes, etc - everything seemed farm fresh. Got a "calamary" for the table and it was outstanding - this was some of the most succulent squid I have had in a long time, the breading was light and delicate, and the aioli was just perfect. We splurged for dessert, why not (pictured a few here). Dad ordered the molten chocolate cake, stepdaughter ordered the limoncello cake, wife ordered the affogato (not my thing, but she loves 'em) and I had the apple tart, and we shared them all. Although it was a close call, I think the limoncello cake was the best, and all of these desserts look like they were prepared by Michelin chefs. Polo's Corner is very unassuming - it's set in a somewhat out of the way spot near the Lucky's on Portola Avenue - easy to miss. It really deserves to be on First Street - this is a heavy hitter! Great job Polo's Corner!
