    The restaurant overall was great, good food and good vibes but we had a finicky waitress who could really talk your ear off and that wasn’t exactly the style of service we were in the mood for during our business dinner.

    We had an outstanding experience eating at the bar at Branch Line. Service was attentive and the bar staff was friendly. The chicken pan drippings with bread were such an unusual menu item, we had to try it. Did not disappoint! We joked about canceling the other food we ordered and just getting more bread and drippings. But, we moved on to entrees including the Branch Line rotisserie chicken and the pork chop. Both dishes were amazing. The rotisserie chicken was so spectacular, it was picked clean by the end of the meal. We finished this perfect meal with a shared affogato. Drink selection was excellent with plenty of options for beer, wine, and spirits/creative cocktails. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and we’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend for a casual yet elevated meal.
