Very relaxing. Only thing I would suggest. Is they need to watch the front door was there waiting to be seated for close to 4 minutes before I walked over to the manager sitting at the table drinking coffee.
We did get up & let staff know to come out

We had a very delicious breakfast at First Watch. It was multigrain pancakes with lemon ricotta and scrambled eggs. As a luxury, we had their million dollar bacon—four pieces of very thick bacon cooked with special spices. Everything was wonderful.
We both thought it was the best breakfast we’ve had in a while. However, with the bacon, added lemon ricotta and added cheese on one order of eggs, it was a pretty pricey meal for a breakfast. But, it was so good!
Kyle was our server and he did an extraordinary job! He took great care of us and made us feel very welcome.

Food tasted great. The main entree could have a little more food for the price. The blueberry cornbread was delicious even with the middle of it undercooked.
The server never introduced himself, with maybe one table touch between serving and the check.

First Watch in Santa Rosa Beach is a mixed bag. The kitchen is solid – food is fresh, consistent, and comes out the same quality every time. Breakfast and brunch plates are on point, coffee is good, and you can count on what you order actually matching the menu.
The service, though, drags the experience down. Almost every visit, the staff acts like they’re having a bad day. You feel it in the attitude at the host stand, the lack of eye contact, and the short, rushed interaction at the table. It is not outright rude, but it is definitely not warm or welcoming, and it makes the whole meal feel a little tense instead of relaxed.
I keep going back because the food is dependable and the kitchen clearly knows what they’re doing, but if the front-of-house attitude ever catches up to the quality coming out of the back, this place would be an easy five stars.

First Watch is always a good spot and this visit was no different. Jodie took great care of us and made sure everything was on point. The place is clean and has a laid-back feel which makes it easy to relax and enjoy breakfast. The French toast hit the mark, fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. Food came out quick and hot, and Jodie checked in at the right times without hovering. Overall, a solid experience and definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to for breakfast or brunch.

I’m in town on business, and I stopped in for brunch 3 days in a row.
I read the earlier review of questionable service, which prompted my review.
I’ll say during my visits, the service was impecciable. Mark, Desmond , Katherine (Kat) and Tiffany were absolutely amazing.
The place is spotless, the vibe is really nice., and the food is top shelf

Chloe was super sweet! My go to is the Morning Meditation (has beet juice) and incredibly refreshing. Omelets are perfect and not overcooked, I would pick a different side than the salad unless that’s your thing in the morning. Grits are delicious! Great atmosphere and the tall female hostess was awesome too! Be back soon
