    Food as always was very very good! My only comment and disappointment was as of Friday they no longer have scallops on the menu. We come there often and that is what I consistently order. It’s rare that a restaurant makes them as well as they do and I heard that it was a very popular menu choice for many clients. I understand that the price may have risen for them at the market but there must be a way to keep them on the menu and let the customer decide if it’s worth the escalated price or not.

    We celebrated our anniversary at The Squire, and it was an exceptional experience. The ambiance was cozy and festive, with beautiful Christmas decorations that added a magical touch to the evening. We enjoyed the appetizers and cocktails; as a main course, the filet mignon and prime rib, both were superb. The filet mignon was tender and full of flavor, while the prime rib was perfectly seasoned and juicy. And to close the dessert with the anniversary touch was incredible. The service was outstanding. Our waiter Cory was attentive and friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed to make our evening special. Overall, The Branches provided a memorable dining experience that made our anniversary celebration truly special. Highly recommended for any special occasion, especially during the holiday season.

    I was pleasantly surprised at how well this restaurant is run. Service was very attentive in spite of a very large Saturday night crowd. Bella was very good. The food was very good and the presentation made it even better. Three of us had steaks which were all done perfectly. Appetizers were all delicious from the soup to clams to caprese salad. Little things that you don’t expect. Half of grilled cheese sandwich with the tomato basil soup or a macaroon with your other desserts. I don’t mind paying for a meal when it is this good.
