Restaurants near Tuolumne State Game Refuge

We have been wanting to try the Branch for a while and finally had the opportunity to do so. We kept hearing positive things and wanted to see for ourselves. They did not disappoint! From being greeted when walking in, to the service throughout our dinner, it was amazing. But the best of all was the food. I am not sure what Matt does to prepare his dishes better than anyone else, but he does it! Our food was amazing! With the closeness of the tables, we were able to speak and compare with others and we all said the same thing. It did not matter what people ordered for dinner, they were all completely satisfied. We will definitely be back as often as possible!

We love this restaurant and eat here annually. Over three nights we ate all the vegetarian items on the menu--quinoa-lentil stuffed squash, portabella mushroom burger, soup, salads, mushroom pasta, burrata, even mocktails (mango is best) and vegan dessert, an ice cream sandwich. The staff is lovely, friendly, and helpful; the room, with high ceilings and great artwork is perfect. It's a fitting ending to a day outdoors.

Our servers Angelina and her helper Jazmine were wonderful. They kept our coffee hot and were very friendly and attentive!

Wow! Well worth it! Our Server made it more enjoyable. Will be back. Thank you, R.Evans

My crusted salmon was cooked perfectly and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his grilled chicken pasta. The Scott Harvey Barbera was a lovely accompaniment to the salmon and we shared a pumpkin flavored brûlée was a wonderful way to end the meal. My husband was pleased to find an IPA on tap.
