   Nice place to grab a drink after work with friends. You can expect a white collar crowd, slightly expensive drinks, and delicious buffalo chicken egg rolls.

   This experience was awesome. The customer service was great. My waitress, her name was Amberly, and she was very attentive and kind, her customer service skills are impeccable and made the experience even more pleasant. I can't wait to come back.

   This restaurant was recommended for Pre-Theater dinner. Our server was wonderful and the food was great and out in time for us to get to the pre-lecture at the Joffrey. BUT THE NOISE level was nerve racking. We couldn't hear each other and so discussion was impossible without repeating your self continually. This will be on our list to NOT eat at if you are having a date night of dinner and ballet/opera. Sorry if I work at CME I would have probably loved all the chatter.

   South Branch always takes care of myself and my company on all of our lunch and dinner reservations.

   We did not get our order taken until 25 minutes after we sat down. I recommend hiring an additional waitress. On top of that, the food was very disappointing. The steak from the Honey Garlic Skirt Steak was fatty, The Chicken Kung Pao lacked flavor and had mushy rice. This is a huge departure from my last visit. I won't be back.

   It was too noisy. I shouldn’t have to shout at my companion during my meal.

    My friend and I had a 4:45 reservation for a pre-Lyric Opera show at 7:00 pm and to catch up after the holidays. We had cocktails (Espresso martini and Tito’s martini) and shared two apps - the calamari and the poke tuna nachos. Food and drinks were excellent and enough for dinner. Service was perfect - attentive, but never too attentive. We were never rushed and had plenty of time to chat and have a coffee to finish. Location is PERFECT for the Lyric. It got a little noisy at 6:00. Highly recommended!
