First Watch

First Watch may be the Chick-fil-A of morning/midday casual dining. I have yet to visit a location where the food wasn’t flavorful and the dining room wasn’t bright and clean. The Frittata Rustica is my go to here. A European-style omelet that’s filled with kale, roasted mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and topped with mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Comes with ciabatta toast, and your choice of organic mixed greens or fresh seasoned potatoes. As the Italians say “incredibile” As usual, the Frittata was fresh and hearty. And the seasoned potatoes were warm and very well seasoned. As to be expected a healthy and delicious start to the day achieved.

This place had very good service and a really nice menu, a great variety of food and a diverse atmosphere as well. We were put on the waiting list in the morning around 10am and only took a couple of minutes before they texted me our table was ready. They get you in quick and easy. I really like this place, definitely will be coming back.

My family always comes to the Nicholasville Road location after my nephew’s soccer game on Saturday mornings, and they have always been able to seat us (party of 5 or 6) with no issues. During our most recent visit, there was suppose to be a 15/20 minute wait but right after I put my info on their waitlist and walked outside, they texted me right away. The food is pretty typical of other locations. It’s a really great place for brunch style food. Their chorizo sunrise sandwich was really yummy, probably my favorite thing I have tried. My husband and my mom both got the smoked salmon eggs benedict and they liked it (it’s a bit bland in my opinion). My aunt got the crab cake version, and we were all jealous. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch drink was creamy and delicious, probably my favorite boozy brunch drink here. My husband loves the little barefoot bottle that comes with his mimosa. Service is usually good (sometimes it’s a bit backed up or the waitress forgets thing but it’s normal). Staff is nice.
