First Watch

"I was really excited to try First Watch. Went to the one by the Edison Ford estates. 7:30 in the morning. Only 2 other tables there. Walked in, waited about 4 or 5 minutes to be greeted. Waitress came out of the kitchen and said, " I'll be right with you." At that point, the manager/ hostess, ( im guessing) got up from the table she was sitting at showed us to our table. Menu was creative. I wanted to try the breakfast sandwich, but i am very fussy about pastrami . I don't like deli style, top round, pastrami. I prefer REAL pastrami, cut from the brisket which is hard to find down here. I asked our waitress if this was brisket pastrami. She didn't know. She did go back to the kitchen to ask, which I appreciated. Her response was: " I asked the cooks. They said it's from U.S.Foods." So, maybe some team training is in need? The sandwich was good. Would've been REALLY good if it was hot, or even warm, especially at $14 for an egg sandwich. Same for the breakfast potatoes, and sadly, same for my wife's eggs and sausage. The million dollar bacon? Same thing: cold. By the time thecwaitress came back to check, we had to leave. $50, 2 people for breakfast. I'll try one of the other locations, but I have to say that it was pretty disappointing."

"Gingerbread balls (seasonal) were fantastic. I always grab the Kale Tonic drink. My only wish is that when you ask for no ice, they don’t give you a smaller cup. It’s over $5, just fill the same cup up. No other restaurants that I ask for no ice gives you a smaller cup. It cheapens the experience."

"Nice location in Downtown Ft Myers. Friendly staff, clean and the food options were plentiful. I had the Tacos which were made fresh and delicious! Good coffee too!"

"Amazing food and amazing service. There were so many healthy and yummy options on the menu. Coffee was great. And our server (Victoria?) took great care of us. The only downside, there was a bit of a wait. But they are popular. PS: Pictured here is the frittata rustica"

"Everything is great!! The million dollar bacon is a must try. The different flavors all come together perfectly. The Belgian waffle is amazing, light and flavorful. The Purple Haze has a great blend of unique flavors!!"
