Small. Casual. Personable.

Good people with a good vibe in a laid back, fun atmosphere- no white table cloths here!

With over 20 years of cooking experience, Chef Matt Garcia brings a new dining experience to Tuolumne County. Classically trained at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School in San Francisco, Chef Matt has worked with some of the Bay Area's top chefs. As a young chef he was nominated as 7x7 Rising Star Chef, creating beautiful dishes that showcase the freshness of the ingredients and their bright, natural flavor and he continues to do so. The Branch is a place where we come together, to eat, enjoy and relax.

Located under the Twain Harte arch, our casual environment allows you to enjoy yourself with a glass of wine, beer or sparkling in hand. We welcome you to The Branch and we look forward to serving you.

Celebrated New Year’s Eve here. First time dining here, too. Served a special menu which was fabulous. Several courses with more than enough food topped with a delicious dessert. My favorite was the lamb lollipops with mole sauce. Very friendly chef and staff. Extremely attentive and efficient. Will definitely dine again.
