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.

Great place for excellent food and quiet conversation. The menu is interesting enough to have fun things to try, and also has the basics to meet all the cravings of a visitor or local looking for classic New England fare. The cocktails have been well- made and creative, over several visits, as well. (My Beantown Margarita recently was fantastic!) Service is attentive but not intrusive or hurried. Highly recommend this place, especially for a quieter gathering.
