Branch Line is one of the best restaurants in the Boston Area. The Snap Pea Salad is fantastic. I tried the eggplant parmigiana on Monday and it was sensational. Everything on the menu is delicious. I have eaten at Branch Line many times and it is always GREAT! They also have an excellent selection of beers . Take a walk around the Alexander Center Bio Tech Center while you are there . It is beautiful .
