As a person from NY where I grew up eating the best bagels ever. Panera Bread is really good. They have a good extended menu from soups to sandwiches. Even have some good pastries and other good baked goods. They make really good bread as well

I don't know how First Watch manage to be so consistent, state to state, city to city, but they are. This newest addition to Nashville's burgeoning breakfast scene (who knew you could eat something that wasn't drenched in gravy and grease for breakfast?) is a very welcome neighborhood hang. We've been to the other First Watch in this area, which is somewhat quieter (lower ceilings, better noise control), but with this right around the corner it's rapidly become our family's restaurant of choice for breakfast, brunch, and lunch.Pros: Food as well as service are remarkably consistent. No matter how busy they are, waitrons act happy to see you. If something is wrong, it's fixed immediately, and if it takes too long (as happened with our well-done bacon order recently), they take it off the charges. The menu here is a bit smaller than other First Watches we've been to, but they'll make anything on the other menus if you request it. The managers are available for compliments as well as complaints. You can call ahead and warn them you'll be coming with a party of 4+, and they actually pay attention. In particular, we like the varied wait staff - varied ages, varied colors, varied "types". It's obvious people are hired for competence, skill sets, and enthusiasm. Their waffles are truly terrific, the salads big enough for two, and their Aztec cold brew is excellent.The cons: Noisy when full. I mean, noisy. 75-80 on a decibel meter, the equivalent of trying to have a conversation in the middle of a crowded street with cars on either side. The rear seating has a little bit of noise barriers on the low ceiling, but I suspect that's more because they had to, cosmetically. Lots of glass and straight angles. This could be an easy fix by installing a few decent sound barriers a la recording studios, and give the restaurant (and high, ping-y ceiling) a bit more warmth. As it is, very difficult to hold a conversation when the restaurant is even half full.Also, allergy awareness is not as high as at other FW's we've visited. My wife mentioned she was allergic to eggs and was assured the sandwich only had Dijonnaise, which contains mayo, which contains eggs. At several other FW's, a whole separate ticket is written for anyone with an allergy, and there's a big red line to warn the wait staff.Last, the cold brew coffee (not the "iced coffee", which comes with milk and sweetener already in) is delicious - among the best we've had (though we wish it was a bit stronger). However, at close to $5 a glass, with not even one free re-fill, it's a bit over the top. Even Starbucks is cheaper for the same size.But in general, a real pleasure to visit, and very glad they opened here!

I met a friend for lunch here recently at her recommendation and was pleasantly surprised. I had a pastrami on rye sandwich with fries and it was delicious! The restaurant is very small and the tables are close together, but it is attractively decorated and offers a nice selection of desserts along with the breakfast and lunch menu. The prices were reasonable and the food quality was great.
