First Watch — Restaurant in Lexington

I came here on a Sunday morning around 11am. Waited about 20 minutes as they were pretty busy. However, I saw a lot of dirty tables that sat dirty for almost the entire time we waited for our table. It also seed like they werent seating some tables at all but maybe they were reserved. I saw one employee not doing much of anything, not sure why she didn't clean any tables. They also seemed to only have one busser, not sure why a breakfast place would only have one busser for brunch but maybe the other busser didn't show up for work. In any case we were seated and with plenty of time waiting for our table were ready to order.

I got a coffee which was okay, it was a little weak for my taste. We ordered a roast beef havarti sandwich with tomato basil soup. It was pretty good, I asked for no arugula and they put it on the sandwich anyway. The bread was toasted but the roast beef was cold, I was expecting a hot sandwich. The soup was good too. I also ordered the BLT benedict. I was disappointed with the dish. The eggs were tiny and the long roll they put the benedict on made it hard to eat. I wish it would've come on an english muffin. We also got the seasonal PB&J waffle which was okay. It came with almond butter, strawberry jam, and granola. I think at $8 for one waffle it is overpriced.

Service was good. Food takes a little while due to business and the fact that they make the food to order. Long story short, I'll go back to...

My husband had been raving to me about First Watch in Asheville. This location was my first experience. It was a Sunday morning @ 10 am & the restaurant was EXTREMELY crowded! We were fortunate as a party of two and were seated quickly. We ordered, and breakfast arrived within 15 minutes which I felt was great. I had the Traditional Breakfast and was pleased that gluten free toast was available. The food was high quality and very good. Our server was great as well. The only complaint I have about this establishment is that the tables are jammed so close together. Where we were sitting, you could actually disturb and bump into people at the next table. You had to strategically sit. I left my seat to use the restroom and when I got back, a different party had been seated next to us. It was impossible for me to get back to my seat he was so close to my chair. I had to reach over the table to collect my belongings. It was very uncomfortable sitting this closely to other patrons throughout the meal. I will probably not be back to this location, as we were traveling, but I will try other locations, and hope the seating is...

It is so hard to give this breakfast cafe a fair review. It is clearly excellent, the food is fresh and very much on the healthier side of breakfast. The atmosphere is perfect with many large tables for big parties and outdoor spaces.

The issues I have are based upon my very specific pet peeves. I judge club sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, and green beans much harsher than any other food product. The club here just misses it, and I would advise to steer clear unless you are a fan of the uninteresting no flavor version of the sandwich. More of a toast and a tangy sauce would make this sandwich really good. The biscuits and gravy as good, just not my favorite. The biscuit is huge and the gravy is flavorful, but has some weird spices come through because of the Turkey gravy. Good just different in a way that it is kind of a different dish. Lastly the service on the front end is great. Our main line server was very good, where these places break down is in the busing of the tables too many times during a meal the empty plates end up piling up making their job harder, but also our experience a little...
