We had an amazing time. The service was absolutely fantastic. Thank you Shannon! There were 4 of us. We ordered meatballs and pork belly apps. Cesar salads (we got 2 and they split them for us in the kitchen) - good sizes. All delicious. For entrée we had, short ribs, sirloin steak, Kansas City steak and twin petit filet mignon. All perfectly cooked and very tasty. We complimented the meals with asparagus, spinach and hash browns. For dessert we got ice cream, chocolate explosion and key lime. All very good as well. This is the type of experience we look for when we get together every month for dinner! We shall return!

Hadn't been to Branch Line since before the pandemic but it was as good as I remembered it had been. Good service, tasty food, nice sized portions, energetic crowd...what else can I say? We'll be back next time we're in the neighborhood and will actually order less food since the portions of salads and sides are quite large.

Run, don't walk to Bar 'Cino. Amazing food and service. We went on day 4 of operations and there were NO kinks to work out. Everything was excellent and well functioning. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and they went above and beyond. Can't recommend enough.
