First Watch - Hyde Park - Rookwood Pavillion

This place was great. The server was super knowledgeable. I am on a Keto diet, and everything on their menu seems so carb heavy. Well she knew exactly what to order and how to order it to keep consistent.

Great service and food. The 2nd best tasting veggie I ever had. Hell, it look soo much like beef I had to ask if I got the wrong order. 5 stars all day long.

The food is decent but the staff and layout need a lot of work to accommodate the rushes they get on the weekends.

The flow lines at the entrance are abysmal. You either need to stand in the way of the door, or in the way of people checking out if the waiting area has more than 7 people in it.

Our waitress, Emilee, was rushing us to order by coming by every minute or so to see if we had "made a decision yet," and literally within 2 minutes of us getting our plates, wordlessly dropped the check on our table and walked off.

She made no effort to connect with us and was only very barely attentive to what we needed. It was clear that, as soon as we sat down, she wanted us to leave so the next table could come through.

Their toast is excellent.

My favorite breakfast place. On Saturdays and Sundays, however, you may wish to consider visiting the downtown location. Much easier to park downtown than it is at Rookwood. Great food and very friendly staff here.
