First Watch

11/7 on my way to RUH Had a nice experience at the First Watch in Sterling. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well-portioned — you can tell they use quality ingredients. Service was friendly, though a bit slow since it was busy during brunch hours. The atmosphere is bright and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed weekend meal. Overall, a solid spot for breakfast or brunch — definitely worth coming back to

We were really looking forward to brunch here because the food is consistently great and it did not disappoint. The servers were very kind, attentive, and professional. Unfortunately, the experience started off on a very negative note. The young lady at the host stand was extremely rude and unwelcoming. She seemed annoyed and uninterested in helping guests, which immediately made us feel uncomfortable when we walked in. First impressions matter, especially in the service industry, and this one set the wrong tone for the entire visit. It’s disappointing because the rest of the staff and the food were wonderful. I hope management addresses this, as the front-of-house experience should match the quality of the kitchen and servers.

I am very happy with my visit this location. Everything was delicious, clean, neat and presentation of the food top tier. Kale Tonic and Morning Meditation were very fresh. Camila delivered an exceptional service, prompt and diligent service. Thank you

We ordered the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes with a side of Million $ Potatoes and Farmhouse Hash with a side of Million $ Bacon. Drinks included coffee, Morning Meditation, and Mint Mocha Iced Coffee. Service was excellent. The food was amazing, plentiful (leftovers for another day), and reasonably priced. (We liked not having to pay the Leesburg food tax when dining at the Leesburg First Watch.) A definite winner and new dining venue! Update: After multiple visits the food and service remains 5 Stars!

I came in with my family for a meal and unfortunately, we were disappointed. We enjoy onion, but nearly every dish we ordered had an exaggerated amount of it, which overwhelmed the flavors and ruined our meals. The service was okay, but there’s definitely room for improvement in attentiveness and friendliness. Overall, not the best experience and I hope the restaurant can make adjustments.
