   Love this place. This visit was a return. Waiter was helpful and sweet…appreciated. The entree came out with the salads so after the salad my entree was cold. The wine was ok, was hoping for more. And the dessert did not take fresh, tasted like processed food. Sorry, was really looking to like this night out, but left disappointed. Also was rushed out…ugh.

   Haven’t been in awhile(not sure why). Great dinner at the bar and had conversation with bartender. Love the snap pea salad and roasted chicken. We will be back soon.

    We had a nice lunch. The burger was good and the fries pretty good. My guess is that the piri-piri chicken would have been better. Nicely designed restaurant.

    We had an exceptional experience at Branchline! From our first arrival, we were greeted warmly at the door and brought right to our table. That was the start of an all-around wonderful evening. The food was phenomenal -all 8 of us enjoyed everything. The sticky ribs are not to be missed! Our server Angelle was fantastic, and everyone we interacted with was warm and accommodating. We are definitely coming back! I can't recommend this restaurant more highly. Thank you for such a wonderful New Year's Eve!

    My husband and I dined for NYE. The Jonah crab cocktail was inedible, it was full of shell. The shrimp appetizer was great. We both got the scallop special, the scallops were cooked perfectly but the risotto was not risotto. It was more like a porridge with bits of undercooked rice mixed in. My husband had 2 old fashioned which he enjoyed. I had the holiday cheer cocktail which was just an elevated cape coder- mostly cranberry juice, no orange, and very flat cava. Overall the service was great but the food execution was completely off.

    Great all around experience. Food was delicious, not super fancy just solid comfort food. Ambiance is lovely and the vibe is lively. Service was friendly, but as it was NYE, it was busy and we had to wait a while for the last of four meals to arrive. I would definitely dine here again.

    Things started out fine; the waiter was friendly and accommodating, however the evening deteriorated somewhat after that. We had to ask for bread, which wasn’t necessary that last time I ate here. When another server brought it to the table, it came with no butter or olive oil. I asked the manager for some and he seemed displeased and surprised that it was served that way. I had specifically asked our original waiter to put the dressing on the side when I ordered the big Cobb salad, but it came dressed, so I had to send it back. It came back a few minutes later with a side of vinaigrette which was creamier than described, so I asked for balsamic vinegar instead to the young woman who brought the salad back over. She returned with white vinegar. Again, I asked for balsamic vinegar, which finally arrived. Our original waiter kind of ignored us until the very end of our meal. In fact, we had to flag him down to get the check. All in all, a bit disappointing and not as I remembered it from this past summer.

    Excellent food- I always order the roast 1/2 chicken. and consistently well cooked and seasoned. Enjoy their choice wine selection. Wait staff are excellent- attentive, upbeat and efficient- never intrusive. I will say that the tables along the side of the dining room, a long banquette, are too close together- this past evening was diminished by a loud neighbor at my right elbow. I believe the center tables for larger parties provide a better experience.

    The whole chicken was underdone. While the white meat was perfect, there was red around the bones of the leg and other bones.

    The food was great! Not fancy but excellent comfort food. Small but adequate wine list, fairly priced, Restaurant management clearly caters to those who are still averse to dining inside with a well ventilated enclosure and even a few outside tables out of the wind with great heaters. Best accommodation for winter non indoor eaters in the Boston area.

    Mariano C took wonderful care of our party of 6 throughout the night. He was helpful and checked in frequently (but not too much) so the evening was relaxed and enjoyable. The food was also great, by the way - starters, entrees (chicken, eggplant parm, risotto, steak frites, burgers), drinks, all added to a delightful night at Branch Line. So very glad it made it through the pandemic and so glad that they are doing fine w all of the annoying construction over there theses days. Can’t wait for our next visit - it won’t be too long!

    We dine at Branch Line frequently and our meal last night was one of the best we’ve had. Obie, our server was terrific- personable and efficient. Our sugar snap pea salad, which we shared, was brought to us on two separate plates which allowed us to avoid the dividing hassle. The piri piri chicken was done perfectly and the fries which we requested to be “extra crispy” were just right. Burger was also very good. All in all, a great meal. -

    Branch Line is a hidden gem in the heart of Watertown. This restaurant has it all; decor, ambiance, food and service. We started our meal with a couple of their cocktails and the sticky ribs, they were finger licking good! Our meal got even better with our entree’s, the piri piri chicken with its mind blowing sauce that I actually asked for a side of so i can take it and re-engineer this deliciousness at home and their juciy pork chop dish. Of course to round off a good meal and to see this restaurant’s skill set in desserts, we got the brownie sundae and an effervescent espresso martini. All i can say is WOW, this is by far the best meal i’ve had in a long time. Also to note the srvice by our server Natalie, just perfect and thank you! If you haven’t been to Branch Line, GO NOW! If you have like me, come back all the time immediately which is what i plan to do.
