    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.
