The Squire at Branches is a full-service restaurant and bar nestled in beautiful West Long Branch. This hidden Gem has gone through a major renovation, with an expansive bar, a beautifully-crafted wine room, and a gas-burning fire place. The electric menu was created by Chef Cliff Richardson; a culinary prodigy whose passion has taken him around the world. Experienced in Caribbean, French, Italian and American cuisine. Chef Richardson worked his way through the ranks at the Malliouhana Hotel under the leadership of Michelin Star Chef Michelle Rostang in Paris.

The Squire is best known for their Surf & Turf Board- 32oz (CAB) Porterhouse Steak, 2 (6oz) Cold Water Lobster Tails, Pan Seared Dry Diver Scallops & Jumbo Shrimp accompanied with your choice of sides.

The Squire is a MUST VISIT- with amazing food, beautiful ambiance and great service.

    The food, service, ambience and decor were superlative, however the loud music was not conducive to the fine dining venue and was not appreciated by our group.

    We all enjoy your restaurant and the Sinatra and Dean Martin duo was a lot of fun. The 6 of us were seated at the table as you enter the dining room and each time the door opened a cold draft swept over our table. This happened on a continuous basis. We approached the hostesses at 6:30 pm to ask for a different table and were quickly told none were available without even checking the large back dining area. We tried again to ask the hostess to move us as the cold draft continued to make us uncomfortable. We were told the manager would be right over. That never happened. We did see her walking around and chatting with other guests but avoiding our table. It was only at the end of the evening that the owner came to ask how we were enjoying our evening. He listened to our concerns and agreed his staff did not handle the situation correctly. He was gracious and offered us desserts. We were happy he heard our concerns.

    Very good experience ~ we opted for the Potatoes Gratin instead of the mashed ~ they presented well, but definately needed seasoning or atleast some salt. Otherwise the steak was perfect! Will return.
