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.

This was my second visit to City Streets and we plan on returning with friends. The food was excellent. We shared arancini, then I enjoyed the chicken piccata, while my husband had fish and chips. My daughter enjoyed the shrimp tempura bowl. The restaurant staff is friendly, helpful and very capable. Since there are lots of hard surfaces, the room gets a bit noisy but not as much as other places we have visited. All in all, we are delighted to have discovered City Streets and plan to return many times. We recommend it highly
