The food was great and everyone was very accommodating.

Our server Hedi was amazing. She made sure we were taken care of. She facilitated and coordinated our meals and appetizers. She just made us feel like we mattered. Thank you Hedi.

We have been wanting to try the Branch for a while and finally had the opportunity to do so. We kept hearing positive things and wanted to see for ourselves. They did not disappoint! From being greeted when walking in, to the service throughout our dinner, it was amazing. But the best of all was the food. I am not sure what Matt does to prepare his dishes better than anyone else, but he does it! Our food was amazing! With the closeness of the tables, we were able to speak and compare with others and we all said the same thing. It did not matter what people ordered for dinner, they were all completely satisfied. We will definitely be back as often as possible!

So we were visiting a friend in Oakdale and this place wasn't there when we last visited in 2022. Since it had great reviews and was only a mile away we decided to visit. I started with a smoked Cowboy Old Fashioned and Ysabel had a Cucumber Mule. Both were well crafted and tasty. Our friend Anamaria had the Cowboy Burger which she enjoyed very much. Ysabel had the Chicken Picata and I had the 14oz Wagyu NY Steak. Our dinners were beautifully plated and delicious. We had a couple of perfect wines with our meal. For dessert wen split a Butter Cake which was decadently delicious! Truly a wonderful meal in a beautifully laid out restaurant!

Delicious Italian food, great service and beautiful views!
