   This was our first time at Branch and we were very happy with the meal and the experience. We went on a Sunday evening and there were not many diners there, so it was quiet and we had a lot of space. The server and bartender were attentive and personable. We especially enjoyed several starters: polpette, artichokes with polenta and salsa verde, and Caesar salad. The menu is fairly heavy on spicy dishes with Calabrian spices, so if you don't like spicy food, you will have a more limited selection of dishes to choose from.

   My sister and I had a lovely evening at Branch. The food was delicious! Our server was outstanding. My sister has allergy issues. She was very conscientious about meeting my sister's dietary needs. It was a fabulous night there! Thank you!

   Of the 4 of us that ate none of us were impressed with any of our entrees. Place was dead as well. Maybe others are realizing food is sub par. Sad, because it’s a really cool venue.

   The food was great, but the atmosphere was not. It was SO loud in the restaurant it was hard to even hear our server. Would be great if they fixed the noise level.

   Dinner was a pre-concert meal I indicated on the reservation, and the team ensured we were on time. Since the venue was in Clifton, travel time was important. We felt addended to and not rushed or an inconvenience to the staff; they were kind to keep us on schedule and allow us to enjoy the ambiance and meal. Speaking of our meal - it was fantastic and flavorful. We started with the Artichokes, and we had the Arrosticini and Pork Loin for our entrees. Both were mouth-watering and delicious. The Insalata di Fagioli that accompanied the lamb was a nice blend of beans. We could have eaten a bowl of sweet corn risotto that served as the bed for the pork alone.

   We ordered two appetizers-the bread and butter and the artichokes. The server accidentally brought two orders of bread-no big deal as this was quickly corrected and the manager told us the artichokes would be comped. The bottle of wine we ordered was out of stock, so we chose a different one. When the bill came-we were charged for both orders of bread and both the bottle of wine we had AND the one out of stock. As for the food-the butter with the bread and butter lacked flavor-I suspect they used unsalted butter. The gnocchetti had good flavor but was tough. Not undercooked-just too dense. I thought the swordfish was decent but my friend found it dry. I had high hopes for this restaurant, but it definitely didn’t live up to expectations.

   Really nice, welcoming, and accommodating staff and an attractive space. Portions were small by most Americans' standards (but just right in terms of what a dietician would considerable reasonable and appropriate). The exception was my daughter-in-law's burger, which was huge. We enjoyed our evening.

    Charcuterie board was excellent and they even brought me gluten free bread for it. Server was pleasant and attentive and recommended a good wine for my main course. A little on the pricey side but what isn’t these days. My friend enjoyed the gnocchi as well. Wasn’t too busy so it was not very loud in there as others had stated. I’ll dine again there.

    Dining at Branch was truly a great experience. You know you have a capable and talented chef when the waiter does not ask you how you’d like your food prepared. The octopus, pork belly, steak, and service were above and beyond expected. We can’t wait to dine again!

    Just OK food. I got the salmon, which I think was farmed and a tiny portion— maybe a 2-3 oz filet. My friend got the pork ribs that could have had more flavor. The venue is neat in an old bank branch, but the room is extremely echoey so it was loud and hard to hear people. Not bad, but I won’t be returning

    Our brunch was lovely in every way. The architecture is beautiful and the room felt light and airy with interesting art. Our server was delightful - she was so friendly and attentive. And the food was outstanding. The breakfast sandwich was definitely elevated from what you usually get, as was the avocado bruschetta. We will definitely be back!

    We tried the bread and butter, which was delicious because of the balsamic butter. We also tried the ceasar which was also lovely. The rye crumb was much better that the standard croutons you get in other resturants. We tried the gnudi, but my husband was not a fan of the texture. The flavor was great, just be aware that they are very soft. Lastly our favourite dish of the night was spinach tagliatelle. It was just an awesome dish from start to finish.

    Very good Italian fare. Good choices of affordable Italian wines. Cool ambiance. Octopus was chewy to us but the fried bread and meatballs were outstanding. Rack of lamb was tiny but delicious. Pasta dishes packed with flavor. Good food but slightly underwhelmed with the serving size for the price.

    Let’s start with the most important thing, the food. Everyone’s food was great! From the shared bread plate and warm farro salad, through entrees and to dessert, it was all delicious. The warm farro salad with grilled broccolini deserves a special shout out! Wow! The chicken entree and salmon were both delicious. And we shared the pound cake with orange glaze for dessert - good, not too sweet and plenty for three. Emmett, our waiter in training, and Noah, our waiter, both did an excellent job of offering flawless service without being intrusive. We’ll be back soon.

    The signature cocktails were great. I have been there before and the food was wonderful. This time, I had a pasta dish that had way too much salt. Very briney. Too bad. The server was very nice. Great space and location! Hopefully the food will be better next time.

    There's a lot to like at Branch. Convenient location for us, nice atmosphere, interesting menu of tasty dishes, and outdoor dining. Last night we were seated inside and, unfortunately, under an air conditioning duct. The music was way too loud because they have only one speaker and it is located at the entrance so they have to crank it up so that it can be heard at the back of the restaurant. We love 16 Bricks bread, so we ordered the bread and butter. Unfortunately, the bread was well past its prime. But the arugula salad and the pasta dishes were great!

    This is a great spot for brunch. The ambience is eclectic and service is perfect. Each member of my party had something different...I had the avocado toast which was delicious; the pancakes, breakfast sandwich, and hash were all plated beautifully and everyone was completely satisfied with the portion sizes and flavors.
