    I had not dined at Branch Line for several years, but I recall enjoying it. Parking was a breeze. The restaurant offered a warm ambience on a cold night. The waitress, Alex, was helpful and on the ball. The food was excellent, notably the chicken wing special, the pea tendrils salad, and the piri piri chicken, which I got with truffle fries. The Loire wine was an excellent complement. Overall great experience. We will be back.

    We got there an hour before our reservation and they were able to seat us which was really nice! It was our first time there, and I have celiac. We got 4 dishes between 2 people. All were so delicious! Our waitress was very kind and ensured the safety of the food. Only complaint is how expensive it is for shareable dishes, but I would definitely go back.

    My husband and son each like their steak cooked differently. Well they received exactly what they ordered and expectations were exceeded. Our food was outstanding. I had nicoise salad which I know is a reliable filling meal. We started with the beautiful charcuterie board. A surprise of mac and cheese was a delicious addition to our meal. And the ES famous bread pudding brought a new twist with butterscotch (a flavor I do not normally favor) but just enough to give the dessert a delicious taste, and not too much to drown it with too much sweetness. I know I'll be back. I keep coming back. Oh and Pablo, our server - he's fab.

    what a fun restaurant. such great vibes. such amazing and unique but thoughtful decor. they put so much effort and time into curating a beautiful space. their glassware and presentation was amazing. food arrives in cute little dumpling containers, and each plate/ platter is sooo fun. the bathrooms were so cute. one of the wallpapers had monkeys drinking vodka and smoking cigs. great wait staff. alicia accidentally left her togo box, and when we went back to retrieve it, they had thrown it away, and they offered to remake it for us which was sooo kind of them. The menu was so fun and made to look sort of like a comic book. they didnt really space out their dishes, which was fine. They all came out hot, which I can appreciate. I think they just bring them out when they’re ready so we got served our drinks and then the cucumber salad and then the four other dishes we ordered, which was kind of overwhelming. LOVED this place tho.
