First Watch — Restaurant in Siesta Key

If you're looking for a great spot for breakfast or lunch in south Sarasota, look no further than First Watch. This restaurant has local roots and many other locations, and it's easy to see why it's such a popular choice among locals and visitors alike.

One of the things I love about this particular location is the beautiful back patio, which offers plenty of shade and a lovely view of a large lake. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a meal in the great outdoors, and it's especially nice on a sunny day.

But it's not just the setting that makes First Watch so great - the food is also absolutely delicious. Everything on the menu is tasty, but I save room for the Cinnamon Toast Cereal Milk, which is a delicious dessert drink that you must try. Quick and attentive service, so you'll never have to wait long for your meal to arrive.

Another great thing about First Watch is the ample parking available outside, so you never have to worry about finding a spot for your car. All in all, I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast or a light and refreshing lunch, First Watch is the perfect spot to satisfy your cravings. So head on over to this great establishment today - you won't be...

A secret wonder! Eat here for breakfast (-ish)!

This little place is locally owned and is only open until 2. (Edit - Turns out it's a big chain! I found one just down the street from me in Virginia!) The food was really excellent. The service was also excellent.

So it's a "breakfast restaurant." Which means brunch, too. In addition to the usual breakfast dishes, there are sandwiches and stuff. Didn't look, because I wanted coffee! And eggs, etc.

We had to wait about 20 minutes, although the dining room didn't look that full. COVID, maybe? They had outdoor seating that looked lovely. The waitress was just super, no complaints at all.

The biggest surprise was a dish I didn't order, but I sampled it. A lot. They have 3 different hash dishes you can choose. We got the Farmhouse Hash, and I highly recommend this. Potatoes, with bacon, cheese, roasted tomatoes and avocados. Then two eggs on top of all that. It was really good.

It's in a retail strip center, not super obvious. Parking is good, no problems.

Highly...

We have been coming to this location for many years. That is why we decided to come here for our son’s baptism brunch. There is a small room off to the side of the main restaurant which seats about 30 guests. It was absolutely perfect! We were able to come in the day before and set up some decorations, they were so accommodating to our party! When we arrived the day of our celebration we had such amazing service, I feel awful as I do not remember our server’s name! She was fantastic! Our food came out so quickly and everything was delicious! We let our guests order off of a limited menu of four entrees, Floridian French toast, chicken chimichanga, avocado toast and elevated egg sandwich. Everything came out fast and cooked perfectly, our guests were extremely happy!! I highly suggest dining here and we will forever be grateful for such a great experience for our celebration and for all the wonderful meals we have shared here...
