First Watch - Lexington

I love the freshness of their drinks and food! Everything is always fresh. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. The servers are very friendly. This place makes me feel good whenever I go. (Traducido por Google) ¡Me encanta la frescura de sus bebidas y comida! Todo es siempre fresco. El ambiente es muy cálido y acogedor. Los servidores son muy amables. Este lugar me hace sentir bien cada vez que voy.

This place has awesome breakfast options. I will definitely be back. I recommend the banana granola pancake and their potatoes. The scrambled eggs leaves something to be desired but will be back for the pancake!

Update (November, 2016): Multiple recent experiences have been much more positive, with friendlier service, satisfying breakfast entrees, and courteous management.<br/ <br/ An irritating experience where our waitress was extremely distracted and inattentive throughout our entire breakfast. After being seated, we had to ask for coffee and water on four separate occasions. Also, instead of being brought coffee and water as requested, we were brought orange juice and milk at first. First Watch's saving grace was its cuisine (which exceeded our expectations and our prior experiences), including fresh fruit, premium coffee, crispy and thick-sliced bacon, whole grain toast, biscuits (made in-house) and turkey sausage gravy, and the market hash (seasoned potatoes, onions, zucchini, red peppers, spinach, roasted mushrooms, melted mozzarella and herbed goat cheese, with two eggs on top).

I really enjoy going to First Watch. For the longest time, I didn't realize it was a breakfast place. I think the name of the restaurant is poor advertising and slightly misleading. However, the food does not disappoint. I typically either order the traditional breakfast (which includes bacon or sausage, potatoes, eggs, and an English muffin) or the cinnamon chip pancake breakfast (which includes a large pancake, eggs, and bacon). The cinnamon chip pancakes are amazing and the smell of the cinnamon reminds me of fall. If you sign up for their newsletter on email, they will send you a buy one get one free coupon, so I would definitely say it's worth trying if you've never been! I rated a 4 because the prices are a little high. The traditional breakfast is 9$, and the cinnamon chip pancakes are 10$, so with coffee or a beverage other than water and a tip, it can be a little pricey to go all the time.

Went to this First Watch on Sunday, 23 Aug.  According to our server, even though we were seated a little ahead of the promised time of 20-30 minutes, our order would be delayed because they had a 26 person team just seated ahead of us.  The two ladies working as hostesses worked well together.  <br/ <br/ With the Sunday morning crowd plus this extra, I believe this FW did an outstanding job of getting our order through the kitchen and to the table.    The service was great and unobtrusive.  My omelet, greens, and toast could not have been better.  The same for the food my wife ordered.  <br/ <br/ Checkout was quick and efficient.  The bus staff appeared coordinated.  All of the employees moved well to give the guests as positive an experience as possible in an overwhelming situation.
