    Overall very good food and drinks. Service was excellent. The DJ kept the music volume at a level you could talk with your group without yelling. Atmosphere was great. Reservation was easy to get even on a Friday evening.

    The Squire at Branches was a very pleasant experience. Nicely decorated. The service was excellent. The three course meal choices were perfect! I had a chopped salad, the cod and the homemade ice cream. They all tasted delicious. Presentation a treat. Definitely going back

    Last night was the second time we went to the Squires at Branches. The first was a J. Lohr wine tasting event. We are so excited to have found this restaurant!! The food and service are outstanding, and the building itself is amazingly decorated!! I am a stickler for cleanliness and this is perhaps the cleanest restaurant I have been in in a long time!! While it is very large and can accommodate many diners, they have not jammed in a lot of tables which is what we see in a lot of places lately!! I cant wait to see how they decorate for Christmas!!

    Very good food, great service, we weren't rushed, and one of the few places around these days that is not noisy. We will definitely be back.
