I enjoy trivia on Wednesday nights. Staff greets me by name and seats my group at our usual table. It feels like home. The food is very good and reasonably priced. The trivia contest is so fun even if we don’t know the answers. Give it a try…you’ll love it too.

Jess was a great server, happy to explain food and beverages. Cocktails were very good, Lavender Moon and Hot Buttered Cider both excellent. Shepherd’s Pie was really good and the fish and chips was good. Monk fish also quite good. Too full for dessert!

First time at Branch Line. Ambience is very nice, modern and open but visually appealing. Service was excellent; knowledgeable and helpful wait-staff. Food came quickly and was nicely cooked, e.g. fish nice and soft, moist but completely done. Sauces were savory and not too salty. Delicious hot chocolate brownie dessert. Wine list is interesting and reasonably priced. My only issue is that it is pretty noisy, so don't plan on a quiet, intimate conversation. Else, definitely worth the money.
