First Watch, a leading Daytime Dining concept with more than 440 restaurants nationwide, announced today it has opened a new location at The Centre of River Oaks in River Oaks, Houston. As Mac Haik Restaurant Group's (MHRG) 17th restaurant in Texas, the new 3,727 square-foot eatery is located at 3029 Kirby Drive, Houston, TX 77098, and employs approximately 30 people.
"We're extremely excited to announce the opening of the first location inside the 610 Loop. This location will serve a one-of-a-kind brunch experience to Houston's River Oaks and Upper Kirby residents and area businesses," stated Dan Anfinson, COO. "The newly reengineered design includes an indoor-outdoor bar, covered patio, and improved layout that we feel guests are sure to enjoy."
To celebrate the opening, the restaurant is offering dine-in customers free coffee during its first five days, as well as gifting a custom, reusable travel mug to its first 120 customers.

Some of its most crave-able items include Avocado Toast, Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, Farm Stand Breakfast Tacos and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. The concept also offers revolving seasonal menu offerings, following the sun to source the highest quality ingredients, wherever and whenever they are in season.
First Watch also serves an array of fresh juices, pressed daily from only the highest quality fruits and vegetables, as well as its socially responsible and award-winning Project Sunrise coffee, which supports independent groups of female farmers in Colombia. Finally, the new restaurant will feature First Watch's rapidly expanding alcoholic beverage program, which allows guests to enjoy refreshing cocktails featuring its fresh juices like the Vodka Kale Tonic (gluten-free vodka, fresh juiced kale, Fuji apple, English cucumber and lemon) and signature creations such as the Cinnamon Toast Cereal Milk (coconut rum, cold brew coffee, coconut milk and agave nectar).
