    Took the family for my birthday. The food was exceptional. My son who eats nothing but steak whenever we go out said that it was the best filet mignon he ever had. My daughter had the penne vodka a few months prior and couldn't wait to go back to have it again. The room itself is beautiful and the service was great. The Squire at Branches is a gem and we will be stopping by again very soon.

    Made a last minute reservation at The Squire at Branches and was pleasantly surprised as I’ve never eaten there before. I will definitely be returning. We were seated right away and put in our drink order (thru have a full bar) The menu has a wide variety of options with daily specials. I ordered the halibut over risotto. It was delicious! Everyone was pleased with their meal choice. Would recommend The Squire at Branched

    My second time there (because I liked it the first time) and I was not disappointed. Food and service were both great and the restaurant was kind and generous in acknowledging my birthday. It is becoming my favorite restaurant in the upper Jersey shore area! Highly recommend!
