    The only complaint we have is the booths are narrow and tables a bit high or benches sits low. Hard to cut your steak with your elbows up.

    Table just a little messy w/o table linen. Asked for S&P...empty salt. Ordered cocktail...way off. Asked for them to tweak w/ my suggestion...taken but returned to me equally as 'off'. No bread offered. NY strip tasty by tough 'band' running thru. Salads pretty good. Should use Circle A Farm lettuce since it's delivered to Vickery every week and is soooo much tastier than commercial lettuce. Thanks.

    Reservations were not taken into account and we waited about 40 min longer, along with about a 20 minute wait to order any food. Our reservations were at 6:30 and we did not leave until after 9:30/9:45. Food came very long after ordering. Unfortunately not Impressed and doubtful that we will do another family dinner there.

    I go to Branchwater at least once a month with a group of 5 ladies. I also go as a couple at least twice a month. I was extremely disappointed in the bar service on this visit as our drink order took almost 30 minutes for the 5 of us and 4 of the orders were just wine! It appeared that there was only one bartender but surely a manager could have helped out with wine pours. Our server was pleasant and apologetic but clearly had no power. The second drink order was also extremely delayed and we had all completed our meal and decided to just cancel the drinks that had not arrived. I feel that the server and the single bartender should have been assisted by the manager and at the very least our group that brings regular business to Branchwater should have been acknowledged by the manager for our extreme delays.

    Food tastes old, had been warmed a few times. The AC wasn’t working which made it very uncomfortable. We left after 1 appetizer.

    The Brussel sprouts are the best of any restaurant. My husband would say the same about the giant pretzel. That’s where the praise stops. It took 30 min to get our drinks- a Coke and a cosmo. That’s a low estimate. There was no offer of specials, the waitress did not know the price of market price items. A table nearby got up and left because service was so poor. Such a shame. It has potential, but shows no sign of even trying to be a success.

    Great steaks. Great drinks. But staff really needs improvement. Food delivered to wrong tables, and very harried wait staff trying to keep up. Servers need training - and more training.
