    Had a delicious brunch at 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 today with my friend. Being seated took no time at all. We ordered a fluffy blueberry pancake, the Chickichanga® which was absolutely great, a Belgian waffle 🧇 with eggs and turkey sausage, and a fresh tea consisting of cinnamon, cranberry and blueberries 🫐. Perfect way to begin the day. Always fresh foods and kind servers. Great eats!

    Went in on a semi busy Saturday around noon. Seated quickly (about 10 minutes) but then waited over an hour for our food. My daughter got a BLTE with a side of tomato and basil soup. My son a chocolate chip pancake with bacon. My wife a smoked salmon fritatta with a side of "million dollar bacon" (see pic below) and I got The Works omelet with side of cheesy grits. The omelet was quite underwhelming and small. The grits were cooked well though with a nice cheesy coating. My kids both liked their meals but my son said the chocolate chips tasted weird. My wife and I tasted it and it was almost like a mint chocolate chip. My wife did like her smoked salmon fritatta but said the white sauce was a little off-putting to her. We were never asked about drink refills and our server was there to take our order, drop our food and give us our check. We asked for a couple of to go boxes and he walked away and got orders from 2 other tables without returning with our boxes. Nothing more. We ended up asking the hostess to get them for us, which she promptly did. In our case, we won't be back.

    On a recommendation from a friend, I went here with my parents and brother for my mother's birthday. It was crowded when we went, had to wait about half an hour for a table. Our waitress was very friendly and answered all our questions. The food took a while to get out, but it was packed so it was understandable. Two of the four plates showed up about five minutes before the other two plates came out. It was also at that moment that we realized we had no silverware and there was noone around to ask to get some until the final two plates showed up. We all enjoyed our food, no real complaints. Nothing especially spectacular, just good food. My brother got some lavender tea drink he enjoyed a lot. Overall, a decent experience.

    This was my first time ever at this location. I was surprised to see that the restaurant itself was very clean. This restaurant and markets itself towards the more health-conscious type of food. The food itself is made to order. If you were a fan of avocado then this is the restaurant for you. Our server was very kind and informative. The quality of the food was surprisingly good. If you were the type of person that enjoys different types of juice Blended beverages then this would also be a good choice for you. If you want to try something in a more health-conscious Direction with a wide variety of items on the menu then give this place a try.

    Well I ordered a stack of pancakes and the server said she changed my breakfast because it would be less expensive if I ordered as a breakfast instead of Ala carte. So I was not happy with that as I was still charged the same price. She might as well had left it alone 😔

    Our server was very attentive, the atmosphere was nice, and the Chile chorizo omelette was delicious. I love their breakfast potato’s.

    I recently had a delightful experience at First Watch. Despite initially ordering the wrong French toast, my server (Kyndal) was exceptionally kind. My expectations were set by an online picture, and when the first order didn't match, the server graciously had the kitchen recreate the dish. The blackberry French toast turned out to be a feast for the eyes, with the heavenly fluffiness of the custard-soaked bread making it worth every penny.

    The food was good. They were crowded when we visited, but we were seated pretty fast. About 10-15 minutes after we were seated 2 other tables were seated. Those 2 tables, with bigger parties, received their food before we received our food with a table of 4 people. Some of our food came to the table cold and we sent a few items back, to have them heated. At that point with the wait and cold food we just wanted to eat and move on with our day.

    On Sunday I went to the farm. Brunch has not been so enjoyable. Took my eating tour to First Watch. This farm to table delight is a hit!! This was my 3rd visit but only twice eating. On Sundays its ," come early or eat late" For my meal I was attended to by sweet and attentive Bridgette. With her patient help, I order Fritters Rustic with chicken sausage, spicy chorizo, roasted cremini mushroom and sautéed onions, topped with sour cream and a tomato relish on the side. SCRUMPTIOUS I SAY!

    I placed an order online and when I arrived, I found that my order had been taken by someone(DoorDash driver).I understand mistakes happen but after I approached the person at the counter, major attitude ensued.Another order was placed while at the restaurant and I was told that my food would be out in a few minutes. This was not the case. I still waited for over 40 minutes for my food to be brought out. This is completely unacceptable. There should at least be someone checking to see if the correct order is given out. And once I was finally given my food, the woman at the counter practically threw the bag at me. No apology for the wait. Nothing. Completely unacceptable. The only upside was the very kind guy who actually replaced my order in the system. He was the only one who apologized even thought it was not his fault. I will never get food from this location ever again.

    My boyfriend ordered us $70 worth of food as he had see a promotion for deliveries on orders $50+. Well the delivery driver only brought 1 out 2 bags, and forgot both drinks. While on the phone with first watch, the hostess who answered the phone said “I don’t know what to do” and when my boyfriend said “We have stuff to do can we just get a refund” she became very hostile, demeaning, and condescending. She said “We can’t refund you but if you call doordash you have to get a refund through them”. Very rude. I got the impression she didn’t want to do her job and help, and she didn’t want to bother going to get her a manager. I ended up having to go pick up the food because I knew DoorDash wasn’t going to offer a refund. At that point my order had been sitting there for over an hour, and my drinks were melted. Not to mention both drinks were just sitting there, not in a cup holder, so I had to carry a bag and two drinks and half of one spilled when I was trying to open my car door. Workers just watched. My bf and I will go elsewhere from now on

    Stopped in for lunch over the weekend. Really nice staff and even though they were busy we were quickly seated. Chose the place because they had vegetarian/vegan friendly options. Everything was delicious.

    I had an issue with a previous order, and the manager reached out and made sure things were right the next time I visited. I really appreciate that and will continue to order first watch every weekend for my family! The millionaire bacon is “chefs kiss”

    Upon arrival we were met by your General Manager David Akerley, he found a table for us immediately! My friend had a cane and he made sure we were assisted promptly! He gave us a complimentary drink and corn bread with his friendly big smile! Our server Lisa was so attentive and friendly! I recommend First Watch/Mayfield to my friends and they have had similar experiences! First Watch is outstanding in a service and customer relations! Thank you, Ky Wierdsma

    First time here and we ordered the breakfast tacos, pecan chicken salad and elevated breakfast sandwich and it was all delicious! Every bite was yummy and Erica the server was great. We will be back!

    It was very busy, we decided to take an order to go. Didn’t feel like the best environment. The menu looked so good, like gourmet so I decided to purchase multiple items. I was a bit disappointed when I found my food to be like that of Denny’s or another chain restaurant that heats up frozen food. It was nothing special. Also the kids fruit cups were literally in small condiment cups. Barely came with a side.

    Love the first watch in Mayfield Heights on Som Center road. David Akerley, the general manager is always at the top of his game with a wonderful welcoming attitude. He is extremely friendly and approachable and this leadership gives the whole staff that sort of attitude. The breakfast menu is amazing with interesting seasonal items. The multigrain pancakes with carrot and pecan are wonderful. Crispy bacon is just that...crispy and delicious. The coffee is the best and my favorite compared to anywhere else....period. The decor is so fun...a country farm...subtle...look around carefully and you will see it...Just love this place! It is like a mini vacation to go for breakfast on a Sunday for us. Also, it can get busy so use their call ahead online to smooth this out perfectly. We take my 93 year old mother here and it is a perfect environment. Love this place! Thank you to all that make it so great.

    I am so disappointed! I ordered a normally delicious Monterey Sandwich through Uber Eats and called to see if grilled bread is possible. The woman on the line checked and said "got it". I was so happy because online there is no place to request toasted or grilled bread. WELL, they made sure to make the bread as GREASY as possible that the bread "melted" in my fingers! For SHAME! Just tell me "NO"! Do not send GREASY, SOGGY bread!

    Update 6/10/22: Carl, the director of Operations reached out to me personally after all this time to rectify the situation. Not only did he make time on his free time to call me himself but he’s taken extra steps for make sure my issues were heard. This is what i like to see when it comes to customer service. Server bypassed table for our first 10min then briefly arrived to let us know she’ll be back. Came by eventually to ask for our order and didn’t give her name. Brought our drinks and after tasting what was effectively water with a touch of pineapple, I wanted to send this “Pineapple Express” back. Realizing me and my guest did not know the name of our server, we had to ask other employees to help us find her. She was focusing her full attention on a bigger table that arrived after us even to the point of quickly getting their orders. She eventually returned to take my drink and replace it with something else. The purple haze I got was amazing. We got our meals after a bit of a wait as our server was focused on that other table. My chickichanga(spelling?) had enough cilantro in it to season several meals. The toast tasted as if it had been sitting out and was practically room temperature. Half of the potatoes were undercooked and crunchy as if they just seasoned it and served with little effort of cooking. Pretty much the only thing I enjoyed was the water and my second drink. The saddest part of all of this, I finally got my server’s name at the end of my meal after prompting it when she was dropping off the check. But luckily Talullah(our server) and some hiccups won’t prevent me from giving this place another chance. Hopefully next time, our server won’t prioritize a bigger table that came after us leading to another server to have to pick up the slack and we will be able to have a great experience as I feel is very possible as First Watch from what others have told me.

    Like the carafe of coffee on table. Water bottle also placed on table. Everything fresh. Quality grain toast thick sliced. Avocado on omlette was very fresh. Service was great and greeted by friendly happy hostess and waitress.
