   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!

   Huge servings, broad menu for brunch. We loved the French toast and brownie dessert. The open kitchen is very cool, you can see all the action. Share plates or enjoy leftovers.

   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. -

    Very nice atmosphere in the midst of the construction! Easy and convenient parking. The food and service were excellent and the chicken ( get the piri piri) was awesome. Decadent brownie sundae for desert. We had a great time sitting at the bar.

    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.

    Came here for my friends birthday and was very pleased with the quality of the food, ambience, and service! The cocktails and rotisserie chicken are amazing! I also appreciate the cozy outdoor patio and how they provided a complimentary dessert for my friend to sing happy birthday! I’ve already recommended it to friends!

    We have eaten here more since Covid. We really like the large, heated covered outdoor space. It just feels safer and is very comfortable. The service last night was excellent. We waited for our reserved table but they gave us free chips and dip to make up for it, which was unnecessary but nice. The food is good, but we would say the menu is too limited. We would come more often if there was more variety. Also the price for the chicken, which is very good, seems out of line but hard to tell with inflation. Fries are yummy.

    Business lunch for two It is located in the Arsenal in Watertown. A lot of construction going on with a multistory garage being built right across the street from Branchline. If you don’t mind the noise the outside dining area looked great but ate inside. Ambiance inside is subdued (at least during lunch on a Friday) Tall ceilings and decent decor make it an inviting space. Seemed kid friendly with a few families with well behaved urchins at lunch but evenings maybe different. I ordered the Pebble DIPA but they said it was going to be half hour because they were tapping a new keg. That never happened or I certainly didn’t get a Pebble and ordered an alternate IPA which was not bad. Large selection of cocktails. I would have tried a couple but didn’t want get sloshed during a business lunch. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich which was fine with chips that were a wee bit oily. Note these were not fries but chips (or crisps if you are English) My business associate ordered the beet salad that looked very healthy and he polished it off. Recommend it for lunch or for cocktails in the eve but take an uber there and back so you can enjoy a few.

    This is not meant as a take down as this restaurant has been reliable for a long time. The rotisserie chicken is five star, other items are well prepared. Our issue this time was service, despite having two servers (?). We had to ask about our second round of drinks twice and one of our apps just never came despite asking about it three times. It wasn’t on the bill either so I assume it just never got ordered. Sign off the times, bad night, unfortunate outlier circumstances, who knows?

    Delicious meal, great service and hopping environment. I would definitely recommend the sugar snap pea salad. My favorite and we added the shrimp. Very plentiful portion. The sticky ribs were also a favorite - crispy yet tender and very flavorful. It comes with some spicy red peppers on the salad if you like a little kick. Our server Obi was terrific and they have tons of great beer options if you like beer.

    We sat outside in the tent near a heat lamp so were only slightly chilled on our outer side. Service was slow but friendly and helpful. Food was flavorful and good although a little too salty and the dessert (bread pudding) was tick hard. Ambience was pleasant. Would return due to overall enjoyable meal in a more or less outside environment.

    This has been one of my favorite restaurants in the past, and I always thought the food was outstanding. My recent visit was disappointing. The food was good but nothing outstanding. The roast 1/2 chicken was dry and the roasted potatoes that came with it were under seasoned and pretty bland. Another person in my party ordered the steak and said it was OK but nothing special. Some of the fries that came with that were cooked until they were hard. The best part of the meal was the chocolate brownie dessert. Service was OK but not great. It seemed there were more tables inside and they were closer together than they used to be. The prices had gone up quite a bit. An expensive meal for what we got. Maybe the kitchen had an off night, or maybe the restaurant has gone downhill.
