We had a fantastic dining experience during our brunch visit at Branch Line on a Sunday morning!…read more From the moment we saw the beautifully lit open space and outdoor area, we were in love with the place. Hostess Daphne graciously welcomed us and was charming and informative. We thoroughly enjoyed our food. Half of us in our group were new to the place while half couldn't wait to re-experience the snap pea salad and piri piri chicken! Our server John was professional, pleasant and attentive. The mac and cheese was a luxurious treat, as were the fries. The blueberry brunch cocktail was light and bubbly and delightful. We were also so pleased when manager Nestore kindly stopped by to say hello and to ensure we were all absolutely pleased with our food and experience, and we were! We shall return.

The service was super slow and the waiter seemed like his mind was on somewhere else. (Questionable 5% kitchen appreciation tip was also added to bill) Their drinks are fine and desserts are okay, but I'd never come back here for meals.

I am a lover of everything studio ghibli so when I saw Backbar was doing essentially a month of…read moredrinks based on the movies I knew I had to go! The bar is really funky fun which I loved. There is literally fun everywhere you look from the panda stuffed animal riding a tiger on the wall to the hilarious shrek pillow. Coming right when they open I was able to see these things that you would likely not see in the evening. But to be fair I came right when they opened since it is first come first serve. A majority of the drinks were more on the savory side which was very interesting like "may all your bacon burn" with bacon bites at the top of the drink. The drinks my friend had were all stunning with the use of egg yolk to elevate the drink. We ended the evening by walking over to Bow Market and trying Viet Citron which was so DANG GOOD my gosh. The to go orders were insane but looks like they are doing very well despite recently opening in. I got the grilled lemongrass pork ribs bowl and youtiao and the side sauce was so good. The ribs were all very meaty. It looks small but I was surprised how full I was after having it. Nice night of drinks and food.

The chips were great (I think they were home made), and the guacamole was tasty, it was just a pretty small serving for the price. Our table had 5 different entrees and they were all good. Our salad was unique with lentils and roasted beets. We swapped the mango dressing for a lemon vinaigrette. The half pound burger was cooked perfectly. The home made beef short rib ragu had really good flavor. Overall a very solid dinner.

Nice cocktail menu (but we didn't partake...). Casual diner-ish seating around an old school bar with a cool take on breakfast classics. The biscuit with butter and hot honey is big (share it) and outstanding. Our awesome server recommended the burrito ... but we went with a classic breakfast plate (great bacon) and their unique take on chilaquiles ... delicious all around. Can tell a lot about a restaurant by how they handle a hiccup. One of our dishes came out cold, and they were quick to remake it with courtesy, professionalism, and an apology. Bravo. Five stars for service, food, and ambience. Highly recommend.

I always thought numbers were universal? Waitress super nice, I seriously cannot wait to go back . PS portion size was enough for two IMO.
