Branch Line

I was here for a pop up with Phaeng & Phiu to try Chef Veo’s Laotian dishes. We ordered everything on the pop up menu and it was all delicious. The service here is impeccable and we can’t wait to return to try Branch Line’s food. Thank you for hosting this fabulous chef.

Well established restaurant in a good location near a shopping center, in an industrial building with history and character. The exterior and interior appearance is not fancy but pleasant, also comfortable seating and clean restrooms. We went there for lunch on a Sunday, a party of ten including two kids, the atmosphere was family friendly. The disappointment starts at the menu, there's not many options for vegetarians, there's a lot of meat and also a lot of alcohol. The food was fresh and tasty, served on nice dishes, but with no paper napkins on the table (only cloth napkins to put on your lap). The latte was pretty bad, too strong with too little milk and no froth. The waiter (I don't know his name because the staff did not wear name tags) made a new one which was better, but served w

Branch line knows what they’re doing. Their menu is small but it’s because they do an amazing job with what they have on their menu. The space is absolutely gorgeous and has indoor and outdoor seating (a heated tent during the colder months). The staff is kind and knowledgeable, too. Their brunch is a must try.

Branch Line in Watertown was bustling with businesspeople on a recent Friday afternoon. Service was attentive, while a high ceiling and pendant lighting made the rustic dining room feel expansive. I ordered the quarter bird rotisserie chicken with honey dijon sauce. I thought the entrée would be served with roasted potatoes; alas, it came with truffle shoestring fries sprinkled liberally with parmesan and pungent truffle oil. I was not a fan of the flavor profile. While serving the chicken in a handled serving pan made for a lovely presentation, it simultaneously made cutting the meat awkward and messy. Many of the fries were submerged in the dish's sweet sauce. Although Branch Line may be a pleasant venue for a cocktail and light meal, I don't see myself making a return trip.

The place was cute, nice decor. We sat outside in the patio. We went there for dinner. The food was delicious but nothing super special. I will appreciate the face that it was made fresh. The service was great. Drink options were ok. Not what I expected. A lot of wine. Cocktail menu is subpar. I say I expect more cocktails because it is such an inviting and fun space.
