Hadn't been to Branch Line since before the pandemic but it was as good as I remembered it had been. Good service, tasty food, nice sized portions, energetic crowd...what else can I say? We'll be back next time we're in the neighborhood and will actually order less food since the portions of salads and sides are quite large.

what is great about this restaurant is that it has unusual, creative high quality Greek food. Not like anything I have EVER had before. It is wonderful to have a fantastic choice other than Italian or steakhouse food that is such high quality. It is our new favorite restaurant and I could not recommend it more highly. The dishes were unbelievably creative in taste and texture. Pomegranate Glazed Eggplant! Wow. Lamb Arancini. Spanikopita Pizette. Burnt Orange Phyllo Bread Pudding! I could go on and on.
