The food as exceptional, per usual! I hope they offer physical menus again. I do not want to pull out my phone at dinner. Also, I was sat by the door for the first time and it was freezing. I will request a seat away from the door going forward. Overall, Tempo is our FAVORITE and we will be back!

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.
